The food industry has grown tremendously in recent years. At the same time, the need for quality packaging materials that are non-toxic, safe and cost-effective is increasing.
Nanotechnology is a technique that involves the characterization, fabrication and manipulation of structures, devices or materials with a length of at least 1-100 nm. Nanomaterials are defined as materials with any external dimension at the nanoscale. Nanotechnology has a variety of applications, including nanoelectronics, packaging, biomedical, textiles, sensor for security system, cosmetics, paints, medical and healthcare, paper manufacturing, building materials, lubricants, weapons and explosives, batteries, agrochemicals, veterinary drugs and water. .
Currently, many companies around the world are developing nanotechnology for applications in food and food packaging.
An active packaging can be designed to halt microbial growth after the packaging has been opened by the consumer and re-wrapped with an active film portion. In the food sector, nanotechnology is used to detect bacteria on packaging or to enhance safety by improving flavor, color, quality, and barrier properties. However, precautions are needed when applying nanotechnology to food, as sufficient information regarding its effects on the environment and human health is not yet available.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also nanotechnological testing services in the packaging industry.
