Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the canning industry.
Used to create an inert atmosphere in cans, displacing oxygen to prevent oxidation and spoilage. Nitrogen flushing is also used to pressurize cans, helping to maintain the shape and integrity of the container.
Utilized in some carbonated beverage canning processes to carbonate the product. It can also be used to create an inert atmosphere to protect against oxidation.
Controlled amounts may be introduced in certain processes, but generally, oxygen is minimized in canning to prevent oxidation and spoilage of the contents.
Sometimes used in high-end or specialty canning applications to create an inert atmosphere, similar to nitrogen, due to its excellent inert properties.
Although not used directly in the canning process, it is important to monitor and control CO levels to ensure a safe working environment, particularly when using gas-powered equipment.
