ABSTRACT

Migration and degradation by volatile compounds from scent leaf (ocimum gratissimum) on polyethylene terephthalate packaged water was studied using dichloromethane for extraction(solvent extraction) of the analyte from water packaged in polyethylene terephthalate. GC-MS was used to quantify the components. A total of 24 compounds were identified and quantified in the experiment which included: 3 hydrocarbons, 1 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, 5 alcohols, 2 ketones , 4 phthalate, 6 esters, and 3 organic acids. The amount of diisobutyl phthalate(2.20%) followed by 2- decanol (0.00992%), triethyl citrate (0.0429%), hexanedioic acid (0.0264%), 4 – dodecene-6,8,10-triyn-one (0.00233%), squalene (0.0184%) and pyrene (0.0106%). Nitrogen was the only component found in the control, since it was not stored with the scent leaf (ocimum gratissimum) . The result showed that polyethylene terephthalate are degraded by volatiles from plants. Hence, bottled and sachet water should be stored separately in homes,offices laboratories etc.
