Key Applications of CO₂/N₂ Food-Grade Blends:

Optimized MAP Gas Blends for Food Packaging & Preservation

70% CO₂ / 30% N₂ – Meat & Seafood Preservation

• Ideal for fresh meat and seafood packaging, where CO₂ inhibits bacterial growth, while Nitrogen prevents package collapse.
• Helps maintain color, texture, and moisture balance, ensuring longer shelf life and visual appeal.
• Used in vacuum-sealed and modified atmosphere trays, keeping products fresh for extended storage and retail display.

50% CO₂ / 50% N₂ – Dairy & Pre-Packaged Foods

• Used in cheese, yogurt, and dairy products, as CO₂ slows mold and bacterial formation, maintaining texture and freshness.
• Commonly applied in pre-packaged salads, ready-to-eat meals, and fresh pasta, preserving moisture balance and crispness.
• Ensures longer-lasting, high-quality presentation for perishable, refrigerated foods.

30% CO₂ / 70% N₂ – Snack Foods & Dried Goods

• Prevents package collapse in snack foods, nuts, and baked goods, keeping products fresh and intact during transport.
• CO₂ inhibits mold growth, extending shelf life in crackers, cereals, and dried foods.
• Used in ground coffee and dried foods, preserving aroma, flavor, and texture for a longer-lasting product.

20% CO₂ / 80% N₂ – Beverages & Fresh Produce

• Essential for nitrogen-infused coffee, beer, and carbonated beverages, providing smooth texture and enhanced effervescence.
• Slows the ripening of fruits and vegetables, reducing spoilage and extending shelf life in cold storage and retail distribution.
• Ensures consistent mouthfeel and carbonation retention in beverages and nitrogenated drinks.
