Author(s) : DAY B. P. F.

Type of article: Book chapter

Summary

The paper highlights how extended shelf life can be achieved by using high oxygen MAP. Guidelines on issues such as safety, optimal high oxygen mixtures, produce volume (gas volume ratios), packaging materials and chilled storage temperatures are outlined. Brief reference was made with respect to novel argon and nitrous oxide MAP; however, due to the variable results obtained from these novel MAP treatments, more emphasis is given on the application of novel high oxygen MAP in conjunction with appropriate non-sulfite dipping treatments.
