Deux méthodes sont utilisées pour emballer les produits sous atmosphère modifiée, à savoir le balayage gazeux et le vide compensé. Le balayage gazeux, le plus simple techniquement, consiste à expulser l'air contenu dans l'emballage en le ventilant par le mélange de gaz, avec pour inconvénient une forte consommation de gaz, et selon sa composition, des risques éventuels pour les opérateurs. 2, record 1, French, - emballage%20sous%20balayage%20gazeux

La mission de l'Équipe des technologies de conservation des aliments est d’améliorer la qualité et la salubrité de l'approvisionnement alimentaire canadien par l'innovation ainsi que par le développement et l'évaluation de techniques de conservation [...] Cet objectif comprendra : la mise au point, l'adaptation et la modification de procédés thermiques et non thermiques de pasteurisation et de stérilisation(p. ex. fréquences radio, haute pression, champ électrique pulsé) pour le traitement des produits alimentaires visqueux et non visqueux; l'application de combinaisons de telles barrières comme la température, le pH, l'activité de l'eau, les agents antimicrobiens, l'atmosphère modifiée, la transformation ainsi que l'emballage; l'établissement de modèles mathématiques pour étudier la survie, la croissance et la mort des micro-organismes d’origine alimentaire durant la transformation des aliments ou la conservation de la nourriture transformée. 3, record 2, French, - micro%2Dorganisme%20d%27origine%20alimentaire

L'emballage dans des feuilles de plastique peut modifier l'atmosphère autour des produits(emballage à atmosphère modifiée ou MAP en anglais). Le MAP limite généralement le mouvement de l'air ce qui permet aux processus normaux de respiration des produits fermiers de réduire le taux d’oxygène et d’élever le taux du gaz carbonique à l'intérieur de l'emballage. La réduction des pertes d’eau est un autre grand avantage de l'usage des feuilles de plastique. 1, record 3, French, - emballage%20%C3%A0%20atmosph%C3%A8re%20modifi%C3%A9e
