Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the food processing industry.
Used for carbonation in beverages, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to extend shelf life, refrigeration, and freezing processes (dry ice), and in controlled atmosphere storage to inhibit bacterial growth and preserve freshness.
Employed in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to displace oxygen, preventing oxidation and spoilage. Nitrogen is also used in cryogenic freezing and chilling, and for purging and blanketing during storage and transport.
Used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for certain products to maintain color and freshness, such as in red meats. Controlled oxygen levels can also be used in storage to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
Widely used as a refrigerant in large industrial refrigeration systems due to its high efficiency and low cost. It is common in cold storage facilities and food processing plants.
Occasionally used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for meat products to maintain a bright red color, though its use is highly regulated due to safety concerns.
Used as a propellant in the food industry, particularly in whipped cream dispensers and some aerosol food products.
Sometimes used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to replace oxygen, particularly for high-value products or in specific applications where its inert properties are beneficial.
Employed in hydrogenation processes to convert unsaturated fats to saturated fats in the production of margarine and shortening.
