Abstract : The chapter on Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) explores this innovative method for extending the shelf life of perishable foods. It involves adjusting the gases inside a package to create an ideal environment for food preservation. The chapter covers MAP principles, including gas control and barrier properties, as well as the use of ethylene and carbon dioxide absorbers. It also discusses the application of MAP in preserving fresh-cut fruits and vegetables and high-value goods, reducing food waste, and meeting consumer demands for quality products. This chapter serves as a concise guide to understanding the science and benefits of MAP in modern food packaging.
