Extending the shelf life of food products whilst maintaining quality is a challenge for manufacturers and packaging services.
Our gas detection solutions can contribute to keeping the optimal conditions for packing and storing foodstuff, ensuring quality, freshness and maximising profits.
Packaging food under an optimal balance of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen helps to maintain freshness and nutritional value. The atmosphere must be tailored based on the product packaging (hard plastic, film, foil, etc). Our gas sensors ensure the atmosphere remains at peak gas concentrations by detecting CO2 concentrations and alerting the user to any variations.
Optimal food storage is vital for preserving food quality for fresh, frozen and dried food. Controlled atmosphere storage involves very specific conditions including concentrations of atmospheric gases (carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen), temperature and humidity. Edinburgh Sensors gas detectors monitor atmospheric gas levels to ensure storage conditions remain optimal.
