Preserving food products

Using nitrogen protective atmospheres or modified atmospheres protects food products by preventing microbial growth and oxidation.

Typically, nitrogen with a residual oxygen content of 0.1-1% is used for this type of applications.

Using nitrogen significantly extends the shelf-life of products such as: meat and meat products, fish, fruit and vegetables, dairy products, bread, peanuts, chips, drinks, edible oils, wine, beer, mineral water and juices.
