Shelf life extension
Shelf life extension
Especially for the food industry, Modified Atmosphere in FIBCs has proven its value in the supply chain. Not only does it protect food, preventing unnecessary waste, it goes beyond that: Modified Atmosphere can extend the shelf life of your products.
Varying temperatures and relative humidities have a negative impact on the shelf life of fresh products. Thanks to the Modified Atmosphere technique, the influence of these factors can be minimized.
How does it work?
Bacteria, such as mold and mildew, rely on oxygen to grow. Modified Atmosphere removes oxygen, thus removing their chances of growth and survival. In the next step, the package is filled with nitrogen, filling up every pocket of space within the package. This prevents moisture from getting in, keeping your products dry and protected.
Modified Atmosphere can be used for:
- Dried foods, such as nuts, rice, corn, grain, beans, herbs
- (Dairy) Powders: as well as coffee and cacao powders
- Seeds
- Dried specialties and refined products
This technique doesn’t compromise the flavor, color or smell of food products, and is suitable for organic products as well. Find out all the benefits and create your own tailor-made MAP solution with Masterpack.
