Modified Atmosphere Packaging

Gases, equipment and advice for the right Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) In Europe, FRESHLINE™ is Air Products' complete offering to suppliers, of MAP packed food products. It provides the best way to ensure that food products are safely packaged in order to reach the consumer in optimum condition.

Every product, even complex food products, has its own ideal atmosphere - Oxygen, Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide - and usually a carefully controlled mixture of these gases. In Europe, our FRESHLINE™ specialists - experienced in all aspects of MAP - will advise you on the correct mixtures and the most appropriate equipment for your particular product.

In some cases, the nitrogen may be supplied most economically at the customer's site through the use of membranes or other non-cryogenic air separation techniques (non-cryogenic on-site systems).

   
 
CO2 inhibits the growth of most bacteria and moulds
