purposes
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a packaging process used in food products to maintain

stabilizers scientifically, it is an imposition of gas atmosphere containing an inert gas (nitrogen)
combined with an anti-microbially active gas (carbon dioxide) to extend a packaged food product’s
shelf life resulting to a prolonged distribution chain and diminishing need for a centralized
production.
