Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) with carbon dioxide can protect your products. As soon as food comes into contact with the air, it starts to deteriorate. Modified Atmosphere Packaging protects your products with carbon dioxide or a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide. The principle of MAP is that a protective gas or gas mixture, which has better preservative qualities, replaces the air in the packaging. The choice of gas or gas mixture is made according to their protective or reactive properties, and the characteristics of each type of product.

Advantages of Modified Atmosphere Packaging with CO2

The main advantages of MAP with CO2 are:

  • Extended shelf life of the product
  • Less use of additives
  • Limits chemical or biochemical reactions which cause product degradation or deterioration
