Quick packaging permeability test
January 1st 2009 Different types of food need differing
storage conditions to keep them fresh,
for example, some need to be in
packaging that keeps water vapour
out (or in), while some need it to
flow. Others need a barrier against
oxygen, nitrogen or CO2.
Inappropriate packaging material can
allow too much (or too little) of the
relevant gas to escape, leading to
stress, taints and 'off ' flavours.
Permeability expert, Versaperm
has introduced a sensitive new
instrument to accurately test
packaging permeability, with results
sometimes in as little as 30 minutes.
Automated computerised control
copes with several samples at a time. More articles from Versaperm Limited: |
