Calculation of Mobilised Mass

The mobilised masses of the elements were calculated as

wi,mob = (ci * V)/mE

with

 

wi,mob                                     = mobilised part in µg/g test item per element

Ci                                           = measured element concentration in µg/L

V                                            = total volume in L of the aqueous phase (standard is 200 ml)

mE                                         = weight of used test item (standard is 2.0 g)

 Calculation of Bioaccessibility

Bioaccessibility was calculated as

 

Ri = (wi,mob * 100%)/wi,fest

with

 

Ri                                           = bioaccessible part in %

wi,mob                                     = mobilised part in µg/g test item per element

wi,fest                                      = part of the element in the test item in µg/g

Results

The concentrations of Al in the tests are higher than in the blanks, calculation of a limit bio-accessibility for Al was based on the LOQ and compared to the values which were found in the blanks because calculation of effective concentrations was not reasonable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
All values in the samples were marginally above the values of the blanks. The values in the samples with addition of milk powder were higher than the values in the samples without milk powder. Bio-accessibility in the samples with addition of milk powder was 0.3085 % with RSD of 11.58 %.
Bio-accessibility was doubtlessly low, though, as no values lying significantly above the blanks were found.
Executive summary:

All values in the samples were marginally above the values of the blanks. The values in the samples with addition of milk powder were higher than the values in the samples without milk powder. Bio-accessibility in the samples with addition of milk powder was 0.3085 % with RSD of 11.58 %.

Bio-accessibility was doubtlessly low, though, as no values lying significantly above the blanks were found.
