1. Controlled Atmosphere Packaging (CAP)
2. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
3. Vacuum Packaging

CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING (CAP)
Controlled Atmosphere Packaging refers to system whose objective is to extend the shelf life of food product by altering the gaseous environment in and around the food
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
4
More precise definition:
The development and maintenance of a precise combination of gases in the environment surrounding the food production throughout its shelf life
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
5
The term CAP usually is applied to packaging of respiring food products:
Fresh meat Poultry Fish
or Foods with respiring biological contaminant
such as microorganisms
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
6
Inert Gas PackagingCAP ≠ Inert Packaging
In inert packaging:
Oxygen in the environment surrounding nonrespiring foods is removed and replaced by an inert gas such as nitrogen
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
7
Inert gas packaging is often applied to longterm storage of dry powder products:
Instant coffee Soft cookies Dry milk
to retard oxidation
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
8
MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING (MAP)
The initial application of an atmosphere other than air with no further control of the atmosphere
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
9
MAP and CAP
is called also
GAS FLUSHING
Insertion of gases to replace atmosphere inside the package
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
10
APPLICATIONIn the USA: More than 80% of the beef is being shipped
from meat packers to retailer in the form of vacuum packaging of primal cuts
Almost all cured or processed meat products are packed under either vacuum or inert atmosphere
Quantities of fresh vegetables and fruits are transported under modified atmosphere condition
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
11
In West Europe
Dozens of meat packers and thousands of stores employ modified atmosphere to distribute retail cuts of red meat to stores and consumer
Hundred of bakeries are employing controlled atmosphere packaging to extend the distribution cycle of soft bakery products

12
In Canada: bakeries employ CAP retail chain uses MA packaging for meats
and seafoods

Principles of Preservation To slow microbiological growths
lowering temperature
To destroy microorganism application of heat
Microorganisms slow their respiration and growth processes when oxygen is reduced and the respiratory gases such as carbon dioxide are increased
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
14
History of MAP/CAP
In 1930s and 1940s fresh apples and pear were placed in enclosed warehouses
The natural respiration of the fruit reduced the oxygen and increased the carbon dioxide within the warehouse sufficiently to significantly slow respiration
Apples could be consumed as long as six months after the original harvest (about double the normal cold storage shelf life)
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
15
In 1950s and 1960s scientist from Whirlpool Corporation developed a method to control the atmosphere surrounding meat, fruit, and vegetable products under refrigerated conditions
The concept called TECTROL (Total Environmental Control) employing a gas burner to reduce the oxygen, evolving air to the exterior to prevent oxygen extinction and permit the use of filters and scrubbers to remove excess carbon dioxide
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
16
By the mid to late 1960s hundreds of apple and pear warehouses throughout the world were equipped with TECTROL system to extend the shelf life of the fruits
The TECTROL system was applied in transportation system of fruits and vegetables and become TECTROL – TRANSFRESH system
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
17
TECTROL – TRANSFRESH
Use of polyethylene film liners in transport vehicles such a truck and rail cars to contain the gas and to function to partially control the gas content
Now the TECTROL – TRANSFRESH system is delivering bulk packages of fresh vegetables to hotel, restaurant and retail outlets

18
The gases used in MAP/CAP:
O2 : - preserve the red color of meat
- avoid deterioration by anaerobic microorganism
CO2 : - avoid the development of molds and bacteria
N2 : - avoid rancidity
- avoid deterioration caused by molds
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
19
When O2 ↓
CO2 ↑
Respiration is slowerGrowth of microorganism is retardedFruit ripening is inhibitedLower the risk of chilling injury
Condition: the temperature of storage
the lower the better
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
20
Example : with 20% CO2
Storage life: 2 times in room temperature
4 times in refrigerated temperature
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
21
In meat, CO2 affect the pH
CO2 entering meat tissues producing acid carbonate
Resulting the lowering pH
As a result the development of microorganism is retarded or inhibited
When temperature is decreased the CO2 solubility in tissues is increased
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
22
MAP/CAP for red meat
O2 : 60% - 80%
CO2 : 20% - 40%
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
23
MAP/CAP for bread and related products
O2 < 1%
CO2 > 20%
Storage life
Bread: 4 weeks
Cookies :6 months

Pasta : CO2 20%
N2 70%
Pizza : CO2 50%

VACUUM PACKAGING
Vacuum packaging is employed to achieved oxygen free atmosphere and to extend the refrigerated shelf life of: fresh meats processed meats
Vacuum packaging is also called
SKIN PACKAGING04/19/23 YHA_ITP
28
History
During World War II latex bag was used to pack food product
Latex (rubber) packed food product tightly oxygen free
In modern time : atmosphere is by sucking
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
29
In 1960s shrink vacuum packaging was applied to turkey and red meat by CRYOVAC
in the absence of oxygen, meat spoilage is retarded
The CRYOVAC process was applied to pack cut of beef
the bag: did not permit the passage of water vapor reduced weight loss
04/19/23 YHA_ITP

Product packed with vacuum packaging Meat Poultry Processed food Fish Cheese Coffee Cut vegetables
Storage life: 2 -3 times 21 days at low temperature 6 months at freezing temperature
04/19/23 YHA_ITP
31
Packaging material used in vacuum packaging
Nylon – polyethylene laminate
or aluminum foil
PE : - good heat seal property
- water resistant (low moisture
transmission rate)
Nylon : - give strength
- barrier to O2

Vacuum packaging will
Avoid evaporation Avoid weight loss Avoid dryness of product Avoid fat oxidation Avoid leaching of fluid and blood Avoid freezer burn No need to treat the surface of product for
trimming
