6. Anaerobic Storage Solution
means:
“gas-tight or air-tight”
Totally isolated from surrounding air
….is a tightly closed storage with modified atmospheric gases and humidity condition different than natural atmosphere gases (20.9% oxygen – O2 ; 79% Nitrogen – N2 ; 0.03% Carbon Dioxide –CO2) and humidity.
MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE

7. Anaerobic Storage Principle
If the organism is sealed in gas tight storage, the ecosystem will be modified.
Living Organisms respiration causing O2 depletion and gives off CO2.
High CO2 level kills living insects and suppresses new development.
Low O2 level prevents myco- and aflatoxins development and chemical oxidation.
Anaerobic condition is maintained as long as no gas leak from any opening or permeating through the storage material.
