[greenyes] Use of retortable pouches

[amarinas@no.address]

Have any of you encountered study on short or long term effect of using
retortable pouches? Food are cooked for 20 to 30 minutes at 120C inside
laminated pouches under 2 bars pressure. In contact with food is the seal
layer which is usually CPP or PP-PE copolymer. This is usually laminated to
Foil, nylon and PET using polyurethane based adhesive. I am concerned with
the migration of aromatic compounds present in those plastics and
adhesives, especially after retort cooking.
