"L'Atmosfera protettiva"

What is the modified atmosphere? How must we use it in the food packaging process? How can we prevent and manage risks during its application? Which are the costs and benefits? A perfect guide for companies that use it, our first Free Press Handbook answers to all the doubts about this new powerful technology, by examining all of its applications, product by product.

This technology has proved to be one of the best choices for those who want to get a longer shelf life and a higher quality for their products. What's peculiar to the modified atmosphere is the active role of packaging in protecting food from perishing. In fact, unlike other packaging solutions, the modified atmosphere gives the user the chance to take real control of the perishing phenomena by adding an ad hoc atmosphere to the packaging, instead of simply taking the air off. The project fulfills the needs of food and distribution companies, which can benefit by the modified atmosphere. Small companies especially aim to enlarge the distribution of their local products: a lengthening of shelf life makes it possible. Retail companies are interested in this technology because, by using it, they can reorganize the fresh food compartment. That's why the modified atmosphere has drawn such an attention through years: operators want to know more about it, often wondering how to put this technology into practice, what kind of equipment is required, how to carry out a correct costs/benefits evaluation. The Handbook gives scientific information and reliable answers. Our goal is to create a valid tool for those companies that use or wish to use the modified atmosphere. The enthusiasm of the authors is supported by six advertisers, which fully represent the technical and logistic know-how at its best.Great partners for a great project: Cicrespi spa, FoodPack srl, Gruppo Fabbri spa, Gruppo Sirap Gema spa, PBI Dansensor Italia srl, Rivoira spa.
