To study the migration of zinc, lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, nickel and manganese from food contact aluminum and aluminum alloys in food processing equipment.Methods Samples were collected from the markets, and migration was conducted by different soaking conditions, then analyzed according to GB/T 5009.72-2003 Method for Analysis of Hygienic Standard of Aluminum-Wares for Food Contact. Results The influences of migration conditions were depended on the elements. Different elements had different migration in the same condition, zinc, chromium, nickel and manganese tended to migrate under high temperature, especially for the zinc, and the migration increased along with the soaking time.Conclusion Different elements had different characteristics, it was easier for them to migrate under the condition of high temperature. It suggested that aluminum and aluminum alloys products shouldn't be put at high temperature for a long time in order to avoid the risk of elements migration.
