Proceed<strong>in</strong>g of the 4 rd International Symposium“NEW RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY” USAMV Bucharest, Romania, 2011- for evaluat<strong>in</strong>g the BPA (bisphenol A ) release as a request of the 2002/72/CEdirective we consi<strong>de</strong>red as more appropriate the GC-MS method that allows the accuratei<strong>de</strong>ntification and dosage of bisphenol A (BPA) <strong>in</strong> comparison with the UV-VISspectrophotometric method .- the check<strong>in</strong>g of the cans quality was led on a lot taken from a meat productsmanufacturer (pork meat <strong>in</strong> natural juice and fois gras).- after 12 and 24 months of storage the organoleptic properties and most of thephysico-chemical properties of the products („Pork meat <strong>in</strong> natural juice” and “Fois gras”)didn’t significantly changed <strong>in</strong> comparison with the <strong>in</strong>itial moment for neither of the twolacquer types.- from analyz<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>ner appearance of the can we saw that at 12 and 24 months itpresented all over it traces of marbl<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the case of the product „Fois gras”- yellow layertype the phenomena be<strong>in</strong>g more accentuated than <strong>in</strong> the case of the other product.- the metal content (Fe, Sn) of the product canned <strong>in</strong> metallic cans protected by whitelacquer and yellow lacquers layers didn’t significantly vary dur<strong>in</strong>g the 12 and 24 months ofstorage the product be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> accordance with the requirements of STR 610-85 ”Meat cans;fois gras and meat paste”.- all the analyzed quality <strong>in</strong>dicators are <strong>in</strong> accordance with the standard of theproduct.- after the microbiological analysis of the meat cans we conclu<strong>de</strong>d that the cans havea very good shelf life/ time stability.REFERENCES1.
