Abstract
Polypropylene is the type of plastic that is most widely used in daily life, especially for food products, both for packaging, as containers and for use in household appliances such as cups, milk spoons and trays. Contact between plastic and food can cause the migration (transfer) of chemicals from the container to the food. Migratory heavy metals including Pb, Cd, Hg and Cr(VI). Hexavalent chromium metal (Cr (VI) is one of the metals that migrates the most into food packaging. In order to ensure that the packaging or plastic packaging containers are safe, it is necessary to carry out a migration test. Migration testing is carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The test results on the three packages showed that the metal content of Cr (VI) in the cup packaging was 0.006367336 mg/L and 0.006384528 mg/L, while the milk spoon packaging was 0.006367336 mg/L and 0.006324356. mg/L. In tray packaging, the values are also almost the same, namely 0.006384528 mg/L and 0.006350144 mg/L. The test results show that all samples met the BPOM standard No. HK 03.1.23.07.11.6664 in 2011 which stated that the detection limit for chromium metal migration was 1 mg/L.
