Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the grocery store industry.
Used in refrigeration systems, particularly in CO2 refrigeration which is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional refrigerants. CO2 is also employed in carbonating beverages and in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to extend the shelf life of perishable goods by inhibiting microbial growth.
Utilized in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to displace oxygen, thereby preventing oxidation and spoilage of perishable foods. Nitrogen is also used in freezing and chilling processes, such as cryogenic freezing of frozen foods.
Used in controlled atmosphere storage (CAS) to maintain the freshness of fruits and vegetables by regulating respiration rates. Controlled levels of oxygen can help maintain the color and quality of red meats.
Employed as a refrigerant in large industrial refrigeration systems due to its high efficiency and low environmental impact. It is commonly used in the back-end refrigeration systems of grocery stores and supermarkets.
Used as refrigerants in some smaller refrigeration units and display cases. These hydrocarbons are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional refrigerants.
Monitored and controlled to manage the ripening process of fruits and vegetables. Ethylene gas can be introduced to accelerate ripening or removed to delay ripening and extend shelf life.
Sometimes used in packaging applications to displace oxygen and extend the shelf life of high-value products, such as premium wines or certain gourmet foods.
Used in leak detection for refrigeration systems to ensure the integrity and efficiency of cooling equipment.
