Microbiological and sensory analysis and physical and mechanical testing

Comprehensive MOCA safety: from microbiological profiles to mechanical properties

Microbiological testing: to ensure compliance with general hygiene and food safety regulations, we carry out analytical investigations to detect the presence of bacteria and spores, molds and yeasts, and pathogens on all types of materials and surfaces (swab testing).

Sensory analysis of materials: olfactory and taste tests help determine whether MOCA — and in particular, packaging — alter the organoleptic properties of food, as required by Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004.

Physical and mechanical testing: we perform mechanical strength evaluations such as tensile tests, coefficient of friction (COF), and delamination resistance to assess the functional integrity of food-contact materials.
