In this modern era, people are increasingly demanded to be smart and observant consumers in choosing beverage and food products due to the presence of harmful compounds such as Bisphenol A (BPA) contained in food and beverage packaging.
It is known that BPA is a chemical contained in gallons of mineral water. Besides being found in plastic drinking water packaging, BPA compounds are also found in various food packaging cans.
BPA can migrate and contaminate the product in its packaging. If a person is exposed to BPA continuously, then that person will be at risk of experiencing various disease disorders caused by the levels of BPA in his body.
The Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Airlangga, Prof. Junaidi Khotib based on the results of his research, confirmed that BPA will cause complex damage involving hormonal and epigenetic pathways.
