Quantification of Aluminum in Packaging Materials

What is Migration? What is the Purpose of Aluminum Determination Performed within the Scope of Specific Migration Test?

Migration is the most important issue in materials that come into contact with food. Especially in long-term contact with hot foods, elements or different substances may be transferred from many packaging materials to the food. In order to determine this, migration analyzes should be performed on packaging materials.

One of the migration analyzes is "Determination of Aluminum Amount in Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Substances and Materials in Contact with Food". With the determination of aluminum, it is possible to have information about the amount and risks of aluminum that can pass into food.

The amount of Aluminum in the packages is determined based on the phrase “There cannot be any amount of transition from these materials that will endanger human health, cause undesirable changes in the composition of the food or change its sensory properties” in the Turkish Food Codex (TGK) Regulation on Substances and Materials in Contact with Food.

Aluminum Determination is carried out on Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Substances and Materials in Contact with Food in the accredited and authorized Nanolab Packaging Product Laboratory.
