Two new nondestructive inspection systems help packagers verify pack integrity, sterility, and oxygen levels without damaging products. These systems aim to reduce waste in packaging quality control.

Area of Science:

Packaging science
Quality control engineering

Background:

Ensuring package integrity and sterility is crucial for product safety and shelf-life.
Current methods for assessing packaging quality can be destructive, leading to product loss.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce two novel nondestructive inspection systems for packaging.
To enable efficient assessment of package integrity, sterility, and oxygen content.

Main Methods:

Description of two distinct nondestructive inspection systems.
Focus on systems designed for minimal product destruction.

Main Results:

The described systems allow for the evaluation of package integrity.
Oxygen content determination is achievable with the new systems.
