Advanced Food Packaging Testing Solutions with Labthink

Food safety has become a paramount concern in today's fast-paced world. As flexible packaging materials gain popularity, rigorous testing is essential to safeguard the quality and integrity of packaged food products. Labthink, a leading provider of testing instruments and services, offers a comprehensive suite of solutions to address the diverse needs of the food packaging industry.

 
Key Testing Parameters for Food Packaging

To ensure optimal product quality and shelf life, several key parameters must be carefully monitored:

Oxygen and Water Vapor Permeability: These properties significantly impact the rate of food degradation. By measuring oxygen and water vapor transmission rates (OTR and WVTR), manufacturers can optimize packaging materials to minimize product spoilage.

Headspace Gas Analysis: Accurate measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels within the package headspace helps assess product freshness and potential microbial growth.

Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength, elongation, tear resistance, and seal strength are crucial for ensuring package integrity and durability.

Thickness Measurement: Precise thickness control is essential for maintaining consistent barrier properties and overall product quality.
