AMAP (MAP 2.0) by Perfotec & TOP

• Patented by & TOP
• AMAP : Active Modified Air Packaging
• Becoming worldwide technology standard
• The AMAP technology platform
1. Fast respiration meter
2. Predictive software & database
3. Laser perforation system


What is the effect of an AMAP?


Background – AMAP what is new?

Temperature

N2

H2O CO2
O2


• Reduce respiration rate
• Reduce enzymatic browing
• Reduce growth of M.O.
