Fruit & veg

Our gas mixers are used to create specific gas compositions to preserve the freshness, colour and texture of fruit and veg products
Baked goods icon

Baked goods

Our gas mixers can be used to create an atmosphere that slows down the growth of mould, preserves freshness and maintains crispness
Meat and poultry icon

Meat & poultry

Our gas mixers are used to create an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and low in oxygen (O₂) to inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and maintain the colour of red meats

Our gas mixers can preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of seafood products by maintaining optimal conditions to prevent microbial growth and oxidation
What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

From production to bulk distribution, retail and final packing for consumers, Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) with mixed gas can revolutionise the way you process and package your goods. It extends shelf-life, reduces spoilage, increases product safety, reduces product weight loss, improves appearance and quality and increases efficiency.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a method of preserving or extending the shelf life of fresh or processed food products. It involves altering the composition of the air surrounding the product inside the package in order to slow down deterioration or microbial growth.

The air we breathe contains oxygen (O₂), nitrogen (N₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in varying amounts. These gases are used by microorganisms to grow, and they also react with the food, causing it to spoil. By changing the proportions of these gases, we can control the rate at which food spoils.

The gas mix used for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) depends on the type of product being packaged and the desired shelf life. For example, fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables require a lower proportion of oxygen (O₂) to prevent ripening and spoilage. On the other hand, processed meats and fish may need a higher proportion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
