Why and how does aluminium packaging protect the organoleptic properties of the contents?

The organoleptic properties of a substance appeal to the various human senses, and more particularly, the sense of taste, vision, and smell. It is, therefore, important that these properties are correctly maintained when storing a consumable product to maintain the product’s quality. Learn how aluminium packaging protects the organoleptic properties of its contents.

How can the organoleptic properties of content be protected?

When a product is exposed to external factors, its organoleptic properties are altered, modifying the perception of its taste, colour and/or aroma. It is important that the preparation is stored correctly in a suitable container that is resistant to oxidation, condensation and evaporation to maintain the highest possible quality. However, using a material that does not react with the product in question is essential.

What are the properties of aluminium packaging?

Aluminium packaging is unique because it does not interact with its contents, making it an excellent container that isolates products perfectly from external particles. What’s more, it is easy to process, allowing you to obtain a container to suit your needs in terms of shape (aluminium bottle) or size (aluminium container from 2.5 litres to 32 litres). Aluminium is a material renowned for its lightness: it allows a large quantity of product to be stored and is not difficult to transport. Finally, it is an excellent insulator that protects against light (opaque), humidity, air and micro-organisms that can pollute the product.

What are the different types of aluminium containers?

At Tournaire, specialists in packaging sensitive materials since 1833, you will find our solutions, which can contain between 15 ml and 32 litres in aluminium, plastic or glass.

For which sectors?

Organoleptic properties have a direct impact on consumers’ senses. If they have been incorrectly stored, the consumer will not be satisfied with the product. Aluminium packaging is therefore applicable not only for the food sector but also for the cosmetics sector, for example, to prevent perfume from evaporating.
