Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market: Advancing Shelf Life and Product Freshness
The Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) market encompasses technologies and materials used to extend the shelf life and maintain the quality of fresh and processed foods. By adjusting the internal atmosphere of packaging—altering oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen levels—MAP helps slow down the deterioration of food products, retaining their freshness, color, and taste. This packaging method is widely used across food categories, including fresh produce, meat, poultry, seafood, baked goods, and ready-to-eat meals, as well as in pharmaceutical applications to maintain product stability.
