Modified atmosphere method is suitable for bulk and large operations. Many products such as red meat, seafood, minimally processed fruits and vegetables, salads, pasta, cheese, bakery goods, poultry, cooked and cured meats, ready meals and dried foods are packaged under MA. A summary of optimal gas mixtures for MA products are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Modified Atmosphere Packaging for different food products and optimal gas mixtures Modified atmosphere Modified atmosphere is the practice of modifying the composition of the internal atmosphere of a package (commonly food packages, drugs, etc.) in order to improve the shelf life.The need for this technology
