Modified Atmosphere Packaging
Gases, equipment and advice for the right Modified
Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) In Europe, FRESHLINE™ is Air Products'
complete offering to suppliers, of MAP packed food products. It
provides the best way to ensure that food products are safely
packaged in order to reach the consumer in optimum condition.

| Every product, even complex food products,
has its own ideal atmosphere - Oxygen, Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide
- and usually a carefully controlled mixture of these gases. In
Europe, our FRESHLINE™ specialists - experienced in all aspects
of MAP - will advise you on the correct mixtures and the most appropriate
equipment for your particular product. |

or other non-cryogenic air separation techniques (non-cryogenic
on-site systems).
