Modified Atmosphere Packaging

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is based on changing the composition of the gases formed in the sealed package and around the product. Reducing the amount of oxygen (O2) while increasing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the package results in a reduction in the respiration rate of stored fruits and vegetables and an increase in the physiological life of the product.
