Food companies can benefit from the developing of food industry. However, they are also facing with great challenges as food safety related problems happen frequently. Food companies have to strictly control the food quality to avoid food quality problems. In controlling the food quality, packaging quality shall also be considered, besides of the raw material for food and the optimal processing technique. In case the packaging quality is inferior, food quality would also be severely affected and even cause food safety problems.
CONVEN provides professional packaging safety solution for food companies from the perspective of food packaging.
Package deformation in steaming and boiling mainly refers to the problem occurring to package containing packed content when sterilized in high temperature as a whole. Package of food that is required to be sterilized in high temperature has to meet specific requirements.
Packaging material that is going to be sterilized in high temperature has to possess high temperature resistance, ensuring that physical&mechanical properties and barrier property of package will not be changed, and the seal performance of package containing packed content would not be affected. Secondly, package should be with high hygienic conditions, or hazardous substances contained in the package may transfer into the packed content in high temperature steaming and boiling, which is harmful to the health of consumers.
CONVEN provides a complete packaging safety solution. From the quality control of purchased packaging material, CONVEN helps to select suppliers and improve packing processing techniques, aiming to prevent package deformation in steaming and boiling due to packaging quality problems. The solution consists of:
1) High temperature resistance. For example, seal performance evaluation before and after the package is steamed and boiled can be used to determine whether the seal performance of package containing packed content has been weakened after the high temperature sterilization.
2) Hygienic condition. For example, measure the residual solvent to make sure that no poisonous substances transfer into the packed content in high temperature condition.
3) Design of packaging. Based on the various packaging materials, design or select one type of packaging that is suitable for high temperature steaming and boiling.
Through the above mentioned performance tests, quality control of packaging material can be generally achieved, and thus food package deformation in steaming and boiling due to inferior quality of packaging material can be avoided.
Consisting of high precision intelligent testing instruments developed by Labthink, CONVEN Information System, and complete solutions for testing, diagnosis, quality analysis and quality control, CONVEN is a consulting packaging test service system, and has profound social value in respect of cost saving of plastic flexible packages consuming companies, product quality improving, food and pharmaceuticals safety guaranteeing.
