Modified Atmosphere Packaging (M.A.P.)

Modified Atmosphere Packaging
(M.A.P.) - provides enhanced quality or extended shelf life to perishable foods. MAP refers to a condition initially produced at the time of packaging. The gases within the package are allowed to change as the physical and biological conditions dictate. Rather than preserving foods through the extremes of heat (sterilization) or cold (freezing), MAP utilizes "minimal processing" - preserving food with the absolute least amount of damage to quality, texture, taste and nutrition.
