Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a type of packaging technology used to extend the shelf life of food products. It involves replacing the air inside a package with a gas mixture that is tailored to the specific needs of the product. This gas mixture is designed to slow down the growth of microorganisms, reduce oxidation, and maintain the quality of the product. MAP is used in a variety of food products, including fresh produce, meat, fish, dairy, and bakery items. MAP is a cost-effective and efficient way to preserve food products, as it requires minimal energy and does not require the use of preservatives. It also helps to reduce food waste, as it extends the shelf life of products. Some companies in the MAP market include Sealed Air Corporation, Cryovac, and LINPAC Packaging. Show Less Read more
