What are the benefits of using mixed gas in Modified Atmosphere Packaging?

Using mixed gas in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) offers several benefits. By customising the gas composition to include a specific blend of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the growth of spoilage microorganisms and oxidation processes can be delayed.

This result in fresher and higher quality food products, reducing food waste and improving overall product sustainability.

Using mixed gas in Modified Atmosphere Packaging can also be a great way to maintain the colour, texture and flavour of food items (for example, red meats), preserving their visual appeal and taste for longer.
