Protective Atmosphere
Why MAP packaging
Extended shelf life, unchanged sensory quality
Modified atmosphere packaging replaces the air inside the package with certified food-grade gases or gas mixtures, preventing enzymatic, biochemical and microbial degradation of products. The result is a significantly longer shelf life, without chemical preservatives, while preserving the product’s quality and appearance all the way to the final consumer.
