Total Migration Test

Migration (or migration) is a condition defined as the transfer of chemical compounds from packaging to food. This event depends on several factors. Therefore, investigating the behavior of packaging in different situations requires special conditions. Various methodologies for determining migration under real conditions are applied in advanced laboratories. In this context, mass spectrometry is recognized as a convenient and versatile method that shows great potential to accurately characterize various contaminants in foods by migration.

The concept of plastic is used to describe materials based on modified synthetic or natural polymers that are molded using heat and pressure. Plastic materials used in packaging are very diverse in terms of their chemical structures. Depending on the processing methods, additives used, and combination with other polymers, plastic materials show variable properties.

In the food industry, with the increasing demand for industrialized products, flexible plastic packaging is widely used due to its versatility and also to extend the shelf life of the product.

Flexible plastic packaging consists of thermoplastic material that is molded with increasing temperatures, allowing the product to be shaped to its size and properties. The most common example is vacuum packaging, which is generally used for packaging meat products. The important point here is in the plasticn is the determination of the total migration to food.

In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also total migration test services.
