Product: Food-saving modified atmosphere (MAP) technology
Company: Masterpack Group BV
Country: Netherlands
Category: Food
The company developed a modified atmosphere packaging for a flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC). It includes a sensor to measure the oxygen rate, humidity, and temperature within the packaging. The data measurements are sent wirelessly live or for four times daily, which permits active monitoring of the bulk-packaged food product to prevent food waste.
The supplier uses specific film/foil for the liners and a specific connection valve to go along with standardized sealing equipment, and vacuum and degassing machinery. This total concept makes it possible to use very low oxygen levels that can be maintained.
The packaging system protects the product from external influences and pests and extends the shelf life, contributing to a more sustainable supply chain.
The company’s MAP FIBCs are manufactured in cleanroom production facilities under BRC, ISO 2200 and GMP conditions.
