Abstract
El estudio de los materiales de empaques ha adquirido una creciente importancia, especialmente en el envasado de alimentos sensibles al oxígeno, por lo cual se han implementado diversas tecnologías para mejorar las propiedades de barrera contra el oxígeno, con el objetivo de prolongar la vida útil de los productos. En este contexto, durante esta investigación se propuso evaluar la tasa de transmisión de oxígeno (OTR) en envases fabricados mediante moldeo por inyección, a través de diferentes tipos de polipropileno (PP). El estudio se llevó a cabo con la medición de la OTR en los diferentes tipos de envases mediante un analizador por fluorescencia óptica, exponiendo los envases a una corriente de nitrógeno en un lado y a una de oxígeno puro en el otro lado. Los resultados revelaron 44 % mayor permeabilidad en contenedores que utilizaron tapas fabricadas con copolímero de polipropileno random (CPPR) y las tarrinas fabricadas con copolímero de polipropileno en bloques (CPPB), en comparación con las tarrinas y tapas que emplearon solo CPPB. Estos hallazgos indican que el tipo de material utilizado influye significativamente en la OTR, lo cual impacta en el rendimiento de los productos envasados. Los resultados proporcionan información relevante para el desarrollo de empaques más eficientes en términos de barrera de oxígeno, lo que contribuye a garantizar la calidad y la vida útil de los productos envasados.
