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

The dehydrated crystals are interlaced with regularly spaced channels of molecular dimensions, which comprise almost 50% of the total volume of the crystals. ... only those molecules that are small enough to pass through the pores of the crystals can enter the cavities and be adsorbed on the interior surface.
