Extending the Shelf Life of Food: What is Gas Packaging Technology 'MAP'? *Textbook Provided

In recent years, the issue of food preservation periods has become a challenge. Efforts such as the SDGs and food loss reduction laws are calling for the extension of expiration dates!

In recent years, issues related to food handling, such as food loss and environmental problems, have come to be viewed critically. Additionally, with the increase in single-person households, there has been a rise in "individual meals" from convenience stores, leading to a demand for smaller packaging and extended shelf life. To address these challenges, a packaging technology known as MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) enables the extension of food preservation periods. Originally widely used for packaging ham and sausages, there is now a multifaceted examination underway to expand the applications of MAP, influenced by food loss reduction laws and various companies' efforts towards SDGs. This document provides a detailed introduction to MAP and the industrial gases used for gas packaging. We encourage you to read it. 【Contents of the Document】 ■ Chapter 1: Background of Gas Packaging ■ Chapter 2: Types of Gases as Food Additives ■ Chapter 3: Process Leading to the Introduction of Gas Packaging ■ Chapter 4: Case Studies of Gas Equipment Troubles and Equipment Maintenance *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
