Modified Atmosphere Packaging ( MAP ) is critical to ensuring extended shelf life and quality control of perishable produce .

Dräger is a pioneer in gas detection and developing products to enhance safety . This ‘ Technology for Life ’ has been used in the food and beverage sector since 1889 when company founder , Johann Heinrich Dräger , developed the renowned Lubeca valve , a pressure reducing carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) valve , ensuring we could all enjoy the perfect pint , safely .
GAS BENEFITS
MAP gases perform specific functions by either inhibiting microbial growth , displacing O 2 to prevent mould or decreasing PH levels . All of which assists with prolonging the shelf life , maintaining a high quality and creating a mouthwatering display .
GAS RISKS IN FOOD PACKAGING
MAP gases are colourless and oudourless , these unseen dangers amplify the importance of gas detection in the food packaging sector . Without gas safety systems in place , your team could be unknowingly exposed to dangerous levels and risks such as asphyxiation or hypoxia .
