Record 2 2010-10-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Techniques
  • Food Preservation and Canning
CONT

Altering the composition of the gaseous environment which a food product contacts reduces the rate of microbiological growth and enzymatic action, reduces the rate of oxidation, and also retards the loss of product water content through respiration of differential water-vapor pressure.... Controlled atmosphere packaging(CAP) means actually controlling the total gaseous environment the product experiences. In commercial practice, it usually means lowering the oxygen and raising the CO2 and assuring that O2 does not diminish to extinction while the respiratory gases are swept out. Controlled atmosphere packaging implies constant control over all gases : O2, CO2, H2O, and ethylene and other trace gases.

OBS

The package acts as a barrier to prevent gas from entering or leaving the container system.

OBS

The term "gas flush packaging" is sometimes used as a synonym for controlled atmosphere packaging.
