Nowadays, many food packing industries are
emerging and it is their goal to provide food
packages that will keep food fresh until opened.
Food items like cheese, meat, fish, and other
food items that are having shorter shelf life are
processed through industrial MAP to give them a
longer life. The intent here is to remove oxygen
gas from the space of the package and refill it
with MAP gas. Oxygen, as we all know that it
promotes bacterial growth leading to spoilage of
food items. Hence it is best to remove or
minimize the concentration of oxygen.

If you are an industry that deals with
non-processed food items then you will need MAP
packaging. Non-processed food does not contain
any stabilizers or preservatives. Hence there are
chances that the food gets deteriorated faster.
To slow the process of spoilage, it is
recommended that your non-processed food
packaging is flushed with MAP gases. Some of the
vegetables and fruits come in packing. As there
are no preservatives, it is best to have such
packing flushed with MAP gases so that they dont
get spoilt at the earliest. Such veggies and
fruits can stay fresh for a longer time.

Dry fruits are costly and their preservation is
necessary too. If you keep them in the
refrigerator for a long time then there are
chances that the taste may alter. Therefore,
small size packing with MAP infused is highly
recommended so that they stay fresh. The
nutritional value and the crispness will stay
intact. People have realized that processed meat
is not a healthy option. Therefore MAP gas
flushed in such meat packaging will reduce the
chances of spoilage. Alternatively, unprocessed
meat is a healthy choice, and with MAP flush, it
is still good and fresh to consume. What matters
when you are moving around the food shelf is the
appearance of the food item. If it attracts you
visually, then you will like to buy it. So, MAP
packaging here is definitely going to win.
Besides keeping the taste and nutrients intact,
it also gives your food product an appealing
appearance.
