What is MAP Fruit Preservation Film?
Modified Atmosphere Packaging ( MAP) fruit preservation film is a type of packaging that uses technology to adjust the atmosphere inside the bag to extend the shelf life of food. By removing oxygen and replacing it with other gases such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide or a mixture of both, MAP fruit preservation film can slow down the respiration and decomposition of food, keeping food fresh and delicious. longer longer.
Principles of MAP Technology
All fresh fruits undergo respiration, in which oxygen (O2) is used and carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced. The stronger the respiration process, the faster the fruit will rot.
MAP fruit preservation film works on the principle of changing the atmospheric composition inside the package to inhibit the fruit's respiration process. Specifically, the amount of oxygen in the packaging will be reduced, while the amount of carbon dioxide will be increased. This will slow down the fruit's respiration process, helping the fruit retain its freshness longer.
Advantages of MAP Fruit Preservation Film
MAP technology has many outstanding advantages compared to traditional fresh fruit preservation methods, such as:
– Extends the preservation time of fresh fruit up to 2-3 times, helping to reduce the rate of damage and loss.
– Retains the color, flavor and quality of fresh fruit.
– Save storage and transportation costs.
Application of MAP Technology in Preserving Fresh Fruit for Export
MAP fruit preservation film is widely used in preserving fresh fruit for export, especially fruits with short storage times, such as:
MAP technology helps fresh fruit retain its freshness, color and flavor throughout the transportation and storage process, thereby improving the quality and value of exported fruit.
Steps to Preserve Fresh Fruit for Export Using MAP
MAP fruit preservation film is made according to the following steps:
– Choose fresh, delicious fruit that is not crushed or rotten.
– Clean the fruit with clean water and dry.
– Choose the size and thickness appropriate to the type of fruit to be preserved.
– Use perforated or not to adjust the internal atmosphere composition according to the requirements of each type of fruit.
– Tie the bag with fruit inside and place it in a carton box.
Atmospheric Composition in MAP Fruit Preservation Films
The atmospheric composition of the MAP fruit preservation film is adjusted depending on the type of fruit to be preserved. However, in general, the atmospheric composition in MAP packaging usually has the following ratio:
– Oxygen: 2-5%
– Carbon dioxide: 5-8%
– N2: 80-93%
Some Notes When Using MAP Fruit Preservation Film
– When preserving fresh fruit with MAP fruit preservation film, you need to pay attention to the storage temperature. The appropriate storage temperature for fresh fruit is 0-10°C.
– The time to preserve fresh fruit with MAP fruit preservation film depends on the type of fruit and the time of preparation and preservation. Normally, fresh fruit stored in MAP packaging prolongs its freshness 3-4 times compared to conventional storage.
– Can combine additional solutions to inhibit fungi, inhibit ethylene, and temperature monitoring chips for greater effectiveness.
