Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a type of packaging container used for food preservation. It extends the shelf life of food by adjusting the gas composition inside the packaging . Its principle is to replace the air inside the packaging box with a specific proportion of preservative gases, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, during the packaging process, and then perform heat sealing with a modified atmosphere film . This inhibits bacterial growth, slows down the oxidation and spoilage of food, and extends the shelf life of food as much as possible.
The most common material is PP (polypropylene), which has the characteristics of being non-toxic and odorless, having high mechanical strength, and strong barrier properties. MAP Trays made of PP material have good thermal stability and a temperature resistance range of -20℃ to 120℃. They can be microwaved ( it is recommended to tear off a corner to release the gas before microwaving) .

Core preservation advantages:
Extends shelf life, locks in original quality , does not rely on preservatives or freshness-preserving agents, and achieves preservation by adjusting the gas environment through physical means. It meets the current consumer demand for "natural, healthy, and additive-free" food, and is especially suitable for groups with high food safety requirements, such as mothers and infants and fitness enthusiasts.
User experience advantages:
Convenient and practical, adaptable to various scenarios , strong sealing, leak-proof and moisture- proof, reusable, economical and environmentally friendly . In home scenarios, it can be used for refrigerator storage, food pre-processing and preservation, and picnic portability. In commercial scenarios, it is suitable for supermarket fresh food counters, delicatessens, bakeries, etc., which can not only improve the appearance of product display, but also expand the sales radius by extending the shelf life (such as long-distance delivery).
Added Value:
Enhances perceived quality and safety ; consumers can visually inspect the food's condition, and retailers can highlight product freshness during display, increasing purchase intent . The sturdy box structure and independent sealing design prevent food from contacting external dust and bacteria, and also prevent cross-contamination of flavors between different ingredients .
I. Core Function: Precise Control, Unlocking Triple Preservation Value
Precise gas mixing function: Based on the characteristics of different foods, the mixing ratio of oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and nitrogen (N₂) can be customized to create a unique microenvironment for preservation.
High-barrier sealing function: Using high-barrier materials such as EVOH and PP and a precision locking design, it can not only firmly lock in the customized gas (initial gas replacement rate ≥95%), but also prevent external oxygen, moisture and odors from seeping in, avoiding gas leakage that could lead to loss of freshness. Some high-end products can achieve 30 days of continuous modified atmosphere stability.
Multi-dimensional quality protection function: It simultaneously achieves four major effects: inhibiting microbial growth (antibacterial rate up to 92%), delaying oxidation and discoloration, reducing moisture loss, and isolating cross-contamination. It can maintain the original color, taste and nutrition of food without the need to add preservatives.
II. Application Scenarios: Covering three major areas: home, commercial, and special applications.
Home use: refrigerator storage , portable travel , microwave heating ( it is recommended to tear off a corner to release the gas before microwave).
Commercial scenarios: Supermarket fresh food counters, convenience stores , delicatessens, bakeries and chain restaurants use it to package chilled meat, seafood, baked goods and ready-to-eat salads, extend shelf life and reduce spoilage rate.
Special scenarios: to meet the needs of professional fields , such as laboratory/medical institution test sample preservation , cross-border/long-distance transportation , e-commerce retail.
