Modified Atmosphere Packaging Bags for Fresh Produce

Modified Atmosphere Bags for Fruits and Vegetables

All the fresh fruits & vegetables and fresh herbs continue to breathe, in other words respire after they have been harvested as well.
They consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water vapor while respiring.
To support this system and keep these packaged products fresh, the respiration rate should be reduced as soon as possible without harming the quality of the product (its taste, aroma, texture and appearance).
First, respiration reduction should start respiration rate by reducing temperature.
The main logic of using MAP is reduced levels of oxygen and increased levels of carbon dioxide.
However, this process is so hazardous.
If there is too little oxygen in the packaging atmosphere, this process could cause a problem called anaerobic respiration. This problem can cause unwanted tastes, odours and spoilage in the product.
Also, excessively high carbon dioxide could damage some kinds of products.
The packaging material used for fruit and vegetables must have especially permeable and breathable features.
If the products are sealed in an airtight package, oxygen will decline soon and undesirable anaerobic conditions could develop.
On the other hand when the material is too porous, the modified atmosphere will escape out and will not provide the intended benefit.

The aim of Elay MAP is to obtain a proper modified atmosphere for products.
Here, oxygen and carbon dioxide could pass between the inside and outside of the package. In this case, as the oxygen within the package is consumed, oxygen needs to be received from outside.
At the same time, a constant level of carbon dioxide should be maintained.

We have been developing Modified Atmosphere Packaging System since 2002 in Türkiye.
Our aim is to use new technologies in post-harvest solutions especially in MA ( Modified Atmosphere), MH (Modified Humidity) to prevent loss of energy and labor costs.
Our bags are used to preserve all fresh fruit and vegetables and herbs in its modern infrastructure with advanced engineering platform. We are producing our products with the special type of polymer structure in our manufacturing facility which is exporting to Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia and America.
We offer our products with favorable prices which have proven quality about storage, shipment, shelf life and suitable for packaging bulk, retail and flowpack.
You can safely use our bags which have got ISO 9001, HALAL certificates.

The goal is to keep the organoleptic characteristics of fruits and vegetables.
The way to provide that is to keep the cold-chain and decrease it gradually.
When you do not use our bags, fruit begins to deteriorate even when you keep the cold-chain.
Our bags put the fruit into a resting state and provide its natural living conditions.

Key Benefits of Modified Atmosphere Bags

To keep the organoleptic characteristics of fruits and vegetables, you need to fix the O₂: 4% and CO₂: 12% in the bag (or box) during the carriage and storage.
If you cannot accomplish that, the fruit or vegetable looks more shiny but the taste deteriorates.
Our bags fix the O₂ and CO₂ percentages according to what the fruit needs.
