MAP EnhancerPad

More shelf life thanks to inert gas development

Oxygen is a key factor in food spoilage, which is why many foods are packaged in a protective gas atmosphere to slow down bacterial growth and extend shelf life.
In this respect, shielding gas is also an essential component for
• improve food quality and shelf life,
• to be able to dispense with preservatives,
• reduce food waste and
• improve the attractiveness of packaged products.

However, meat and fish in particular also absorb part of the protective gas composition via their surface. This can lead to changes in the composition and a reduction in the volume of gas inside the packaging, causing it to collapse.

This is precisely where the MAP EnhancerPad comes in, absorbing the released liquid and emitting additional protective gas to extend the shelf life and prevent the packaging from collapsing.

At the same time, the MAP EnhancerPad makes it possible to reduce the volume of protective gas required, so that plastic packaging can also be significantly reduced in size, which has numerous positive effects.

Convincing reasons for the MAP Enhancer Pad:
• High absorption capacity thanks to SuperCore® cellulose - with additional superabsorber if required
• Active production of CO2 on contact with released liquid
• Longer shelf life due to active improvement of the protective atmosphere
• Adaptation of the volume of CO2 released to the requirements of the packaged food product
• Avoidance of collapsing packaging
• More attractive packaging without free liquids
• Significant reduction in packaging size and saving on plastic
• Lower logistics costs in transportation and storage thanks to significantly smaller packaging
