Which Tests Should Product Packaging Materials Pass?

Product Packaging Analysis

Packaging; It is responsible for protecting the product from environmental, physical and chemical factors in many processes such as post-production storage, transportation and presentation for all products, especially food products. Packaging materials according to product type and properties; paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, wood can be obtained from many different raw materials.

Packaging types must protect the products from the environment such as moisture, heat and light. In order to determine the adequacy of the packages used for the protection of the products, it must pass some testing and analysis processes.

Generally, packaging tests are:

- Total Migration Test: It covers the determination of the migration of harmful substances to food, especially as a result of plastic-based packaging materials coming into contact with food, and comparison with the limits in the relevant regulations.

- Extraction Analyzes: It covers the operations of the additives in the structure of materials such as polyolefins and rubber by examining the interaction of packaging with food and comparing them with the limits in the relevant regulations.

- Volatile Matter Analysis: It covers the determination of volatile matter content of food contact packaging materials such as polystyrene based packaging materials.

- Dye Permeability Analysis: It covers the determination of the migration of dyes used in plastic-based packaging materials to foods.

- Analysis of Resistance to Sudden Temperature Changes: It covers the determination of the resistance of glass packages against sudden temperature changes.

- BPA Analysis: It covers the determination of Bisphenol - A substance specifically in polycarbonate based packaging materials.

- Determination of Epoxy Derivatives: It covers the determination of epoxy derivatives (BADGE.2H2O; BADGE.2HCl; BADGE.H2O.HCl; BADGE.H2O; BADGE.HCl; BADGE; BFDGE; NOGE) in packaging materials.

- Determination of Primary Aromatic Amine: Specifically the primary aromatic amine substance (2,4,5-TMA; 4-Mm-PDA; 2,4-TDA; 2,4-DMA; 2,6-DMA; 2-M -5-MA; 2,6-TDA; 4,4'-MDA; 4,4'-MDoT; 4,4'-DPE; 4-ABP; 4-CoT; 4-CA; ANL; BNZ; m- PDA; o-ASD; 3,3'-DMB; oT; p-PDA) detection.

- Heavy Metal Determination: Specifically, heavy metals (Aluminum (Al), Copper (Cu), Barium (Ba), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Lithium (Li), Manganese (Mn) in packaging materials ), Nickel (Ni)) detection processes.

- Phthalate Determination: Specifically phthalate ((Phthalic Acid, Dibutyl Ester (DBP); Phthalic Acid, Benzyl Butyl Ester (BBP); Phthalic Acid, Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Ester (DEHP); (DIDP); DINP) It includes detection processes.
