FAQs
What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a process that alters the gas composition inside a food package to slow down spoilage and extend shelf life. By replacing oxygen with a controlled mix of gases (such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide), MAP helps preserve the freshness and quality of meat, poultry, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals.
What products benefit most from MAP packaging?
MAP packaging is ideal for perishable foods that require extended freshness, such as fresh meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, prepared meals, certain fruits and vegetables. It is particularly effective for items that are sensitive to oxygen and moisture.
How do I choose the right gas mixture for MAP?
The best gas composition depends on the product type. For example, MAP meat packaging typically requires higher levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide to inhibit bacterial growth, while fruits and vegetables need a higher nitrogen concentration. Our team can help you determine the best gas mixture for your product.
How does MAP packaging extend shelf-life?
By reducing oxygen levels and controlling gas composition, MAP food packaging slows microbial growth and oxidation, significantly extending the shelf life of perishable goods. For instance, MAP meat packaging can keep fresh meat safe for consumption for up to 10 days or more under proper storage conditions.
Are MAP trays and films compatible with automated packaging machines?
Yes! Our modified atmosphere packaging trays and MAP lidding films are designed for seamless integration with most automated MAP packaging equipment, streamlining food production and increasing efficiency.
