Summary

In modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) a gas layer between the product and the packaging surface reduces heat flow in chilling and warming processes. To compare heat transfer resistance and chilling/warming times, fillets of salmon and cod were packed in commonly used MAP and also vacuum packed. Much slower chilling and warming rates were found for MAP compared to vacuum packages. The slow chilling rates for MAP show the importance of proper chilling in the packaging process.
