    How Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) Can Reduce Fresh Crops Losses and Maintain Quality

    Uploaded by

    Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) can help reduce losses and maintain quality of fresh crops by manipulating the gases inside the packaging. There are three main types of atmosphere manipulation: controlled atmosphere packaging, modified atmosphere packaging, and vacuum packaging. MAP involves applying an atmosphere other than air around fresh produce to reduce microbial growth, spoilage, and respiration rate, thereby extending shelf life. MAP works by allowing gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through the packaging material at rates influenced by factors like film thickness and number of pores. When combined with refrigeration, MAP can double or quadruple the storage life of fresh crops compared to packaging in regular air or film.

    Number of Perforations per cm2

    Thickness

    - More Pores  Higher is the Gas Diffusion


    - Thicker is the film  Lower is the Gas Diffusion
    Principles of MAP Preservation
     Reduce Microbiological growths
     Reduce spoilage
     Reduce respiration rate
     Reduce Browing application of heat
    Condition: the temperature of
    storage the lower the better
