The determination of specific migration in the three aqueous food simulants (water, 3% acetic acid and 10% ethanol) from experimental active packaging polypropylene-based films containing natural essential oils as active agents has been carried out for the first time by a two-phase hollow fibre liquid phase microextraction (HFLPME). Due to the high number of variables involved, an experimental design has been applied. High throughput, with six samples running simultaneously in a highly automated system working in dynamic extraction mode, has been achieved. The main analytical characteristics are detection limits as low as 0.01 mu g kg(-1), linearity higher than 0.99 for almost 5 magnitude orders. average precision below 16% as RSD and concentration factors ranging from 4 to 189. Migration of 43 compounds including terpenes, alkanes, plastic additives and degradation compounds is reported. According to the results obtained and European legislation, the packaging prototypes tested could be safely marketed.
