Our easy made MAP presentation will facilitate packaging professionals of the leading as well as small scale industries to understand the basics & criticalities involved in the modified atmosphere packaging with the help of day to day case studies. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a packaging in which the earth’s normal breathable atmosphere has been modified by changing the air composition surrounding the food. This modification is usually combined with a lowered temperature, which means it is a highly effective method of extending the shelf life of a wide range of foodstuffs & drugs. MAP is used with various types of products, where the mixture of gases in the package depends on the type of product, packaging materials and storage temperature. MAP extends shelf-life, preserves the high quality of foodstuffs, and improves overall cost-effectiveness. Rising income, changing lifestyles and technology, as well as the widespread popularity of microwaveable foods is driving the use of plastic packaging. MAP has brought major changes in the storage and distribution of raw materials and in the marketing of food materials. New developments in packaging materials, machinery and related senser technology mean that the next generation of MAP system will offer further improvements in food shelf life, organoleptic quality, product range and safety.
