MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) barrier trays are specially designed packaging solutions that maintain an optimal atmosphere for organic food products. Their unique construction helps extend shelf life by limiting oxygen exposure and controlling humidity, which is crucial for preserving the integrity of organic items.
Select a MAP barrier tray that suits your specific organic food product. Consider factors such as size, shape, and material.
Ensure that the organic food items are clean, dry, and free from any contaminants before packaging. This will help maintain their quality.
Carefully place your organic products into the tray, ensuring even distribution to prevent crushing or damage during transport.
Use a sealing machine to create an airtight seal. This step is crucial to ensure that the modified atmosphere remains intact, keeping oxygen levels low.
After sealing, store the MAP barrier trays in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and fluctuating temperatures to ensure optimal preservation.
Failure to clean organic food products can lead to contamination and spoilage, negating the benefits of using MAP barrier trays.
Inadequate sealing can allow oxygen to seep in, which would compromise the modified atmosphere and reduce shelf life.
Piling products too high can cause damage and inhibit airflow, leading to spoilage. Ensure that items are placed appropriately within the tray.
MAP barrier trays are an essential tool for preserving the quality of organic food products. By following the steps outlined above and avoiding common mistakes, you can significantly extend the shelf life of your products.
