Advances in modified atmosphere and active packaging with applications in the dairy industry.

Author(s) : FLOROS J. D., NIELSEN P. V., FARKAS J. K.

Summary

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) reduces physiological changes, respiration rates, oxidation reactions and microbial growth, by changing the levels of gases that surround the product. Active packaging (AP) technologies involve interactions between package components and internal gas atmosphere, or the food itself, to control events taking place inside the package. Intelligent combination of MAP and AP technologies can extend the shelf life of food products, while maintaining their nutritional and organoleptic quality, and ensuring their safety. This paper discusses recent advances in MAP and AP.
