Determination of Volatile Matter Amount in Packages

The structure of packages in direct contact with food is important. In particular, low molecular weight, non-polar organic compounds in packaging materials are typically volatile. It is undesirable for these substances to pass into the food during contact with food and to the consumer via food.

In order to prevent this undesirable situation, "Volatile Substance Determination" is carried out within the scope of packaging analysis. “Determination of Volatile Matter Content in Packages” is typically done with headspace sampling. After sampling, measurement is performed with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

With Headspace GC-MS, the amount of volatile substances that can contaminate foods can be determined by contacting the packages. This method is an analytical technique and is frequently used in the food packaging industry.
