Carbon Dioxide

Food-Grade CO₂ from Josef Gas – High-Purity MAP Gas for Food and Beverage Packaging

Josef Gas supplies high-quality food-grade Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) (UN1013) for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications, ensuring extended shelf life, reduced bacterial growth, and optimal freshness. As a key component in food preservation, CO₂ replaces oxygen in sealed packaging, slowing oxidation, mold formation, and spoilage for meat, seafood, dairy, beverages, produce, and baked goods.

Key Applications of Food-Grade CO₂:

CO₂ for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) Applications

• Used in fresh meat and seafood packaging to inhibit bacterial growth, maintain color, and extend shelf life.
• Prevents mold and spoilage in cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products, ensuring longer freshness.
• Helps preserve grains, nuts, and coffee in controlled atmosphere storage, preventing oxidation and insect infestation.
• Slows the ripening of fruits and vegetables, making it essential for cold storage and transportation.
• Enhances baked goods and snack packaging, preventing staleness and moisture absorption.

CO₂ for Beverage Carbonation & Food Processing

• Essential for carbonating soft drinks, beer, and sparkling water, ensuring consistent fizz and taste stability.
• Used in breweries and beverage production to control pH levels and improve product quality.
• Applied in flash freezing and dry ice production, helping to extend freshness and simplify cold storage logistics.

CO₂ in MAP Gas Blends for Enhanced Preservation

• Used in combination with Nitrogen and Argon to balance gas composition, optimizing food texture, color, and moisture retention.
• Plays a crucial role in reducing oxygen levels, slowing decomposition and bacterial contamination.
• Helps maintain product safety and quality throughout transportation and retail distribution.

Why Choose CO₂ for Food Packaging?

• Effectively inhibits bacterial and mold growth, extending food shelf life.
• Maintains texture and moisture content, ensuring better taste and product consistency.
• Used across multiple industries, from meat processing to beverage production and cold storage solutions.
