THE STUDY INCLUDES CHARTS AND GRAPHS. THE EXPERIMENTS SHOWED THAT ALUMINIUM FOIL, LAMINATED AND METALLISED PACKAGING INCREASED SHELF LIFE BY TWO TO THREE TIMES IN OPEN-TOP FREEZERS. NITROGEN DID NOT IMPROVE THE PRESERVATION OF THE PRODUCTS TESTED. THE STUDY FOUND THAT AN INCREASE OF TEMPERATURE IN FREEZERS BY ABOUT 3 K IS POSSIBLE BUT SAVINGS ARE INSIGNIFICANT. (INT. PACKAG.
