ATMOSPHERE MANIPULATION INSIDE THE PACKAGE
4/22/2017 YHA_ITP YHA_ITP
2
THE TYPES OF ATMOSPHERE MANIPULATION INSIDE THE PACKAGE
are Controlled Atmosphere Packaging (CAP) Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) Vacuum Packaging 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
3
CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING (CAP)
Controlled Atmosphere Packaging refers to system whose objective is to extend the shelf life of food product by altering the gaseous environment in and around the food 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
4
More precise definition: The development and maintenance of a precise combination of gases in the environment surrounding the food production throughout its shelf life 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
5
Foods with respiring biological contaminant such as microorganisms
The term CAP usually is applied to packaging of respiring food products: Fresh meat Poultry Fish or Foods with respiring biological contaminant such as microorganisms 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
6
Inert Gas Packaging CAP ≠ Inert Packaging
In inert packaging: Oxygen in the environment surrounding nonrespiring foods is removed and replaced by an inert gas such as nitrogen 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
7
Inert gas packaging is often applied to longterm storage of dry powder products:
Instant coffee Soft cookies Dry milk to retard oxidation 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
8
MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING (MAP)
The initial application of an atmosphere other than air with no further control of the atmosphere 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
9
Insertion of gases to replace atmosphere inside the package
MAP and CAP is called also GAS FLUSHING Insertion of gases to replace atmosphere inside the package 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
10
APPLICATION In the USA:
More than 80% of the beef is being shipped from meat packers to retailer in the form of vacuum packaging of primal cuts Almost all cured or processed meat products are packed under either vacuum or inert atmosphere Quantities of fresh vegetables and fruits are transported under modified atmosphere condition 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
11
In West Europe Dozens of meat packers and thousands of stores employ modified atmosphere to distribute retail cuts of red meat to stores and consumer Hundred of bakeries are employing controlled atmosphere packaging to extend the distribution cycle of soft bakery products 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
12
retail chain uses MA packaging for meats and seafoods
In Canada: bakeries employ CAP retail chain uses MA packaging for meats and seafoods 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
13
Principles of Preservation
To slow microbiological growths lowering temperature To destroy microorganism application of heat Microorganisms slow their respiration and growth processes when oxygen is reduced and the respiratory gases such as carbon dioxide are increased 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
14
History of MAP/CAP In 1930s and 1940s fresh apples and pear were placed in enclosed warehouses The natural respiration of the fruit reduced the oxygen and increased the carbon dioxide within the warehouse sufficiently to significantly slow respiration Apples could be consumed as long as six months after the original harvest (about double the normal cold storage shelf life) 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
15
In 1950s and 1960s scientist from Whirlpool Corporation developed a method to control the atmosphere surrounding meat, fruit, and vegetable products under refrigerated conditions The concept called TECTROL (Total Environmental Control) employing a gas burner to reduce the oxygen, evolving air to the exterior to prevent oxygen extinction and permit the use of filters and scrubbers to remove excess carbon dioxide 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
16
By the mid to late 1960s hundreds of apple and pear warehouses throughout the world were equipped with TECTROL system to extend the shelf life of the fruits The TECTROL system was applied in transportation system of fruits and vegetables and become TECTROL – TRANSFRESH system 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
17
TECTROL – TRANSFRESH Use of polyethylene film liners in transport vehicles such a truck and rail cars to contain the gas and to function to partially control the gas content Now the TECTROL – TRANSFRESH system is delivering bulk packages of fresh vegetables to hotel, restaurant and retail outlets 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
18
The gases used in MAP/CAP: O2 : - preserve the red color of meat
- avoid deterioration by anaerobic microorganism CO2 : - avoid the development of molds and bacteria N2 : - avoid rancidity - avoid deterioration caused by molds 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
19
Growth of microorganism is retarded Fruit ripening is inhibited
When O2 ↓ CO2 ↑ Respiration is slower Growth of microorganism is retarded Fruit ripening is inhibited Lower the risk of chilling injury Condition: the temperature of storage the lower the better 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
20
Storage life: 2 times in room temperature
Example : with 20% CO2 Storage life: 2 times in room temperature 4 times in refrigerated temperature 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
21
CO2 entering meat tissues producing acid carbonate
In meat, CO2 affect the pH CO2 entering meat tissues producing acid carbonate Resulting the lowering pH As a result the development of microorganism is retarded or inhibited When temperature is decreased the CO2 solubility in tissues is increased 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
22
MAP/CAP for red meat O2 : 60% - 80% CO2 : 20% - 40% 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
23
MAP/CAP for bread and related products O2 < 1% CO2 > 20%
Storage life Bread: 4 weeks Cookies :6 months 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
24
Other application MAP/CAP
Pasta : CO2 20% N2 70% Pizza : CO2 50% N2 50% Sandwich : CO2 80% N % Storage life : 4 weeks Storage life : 3 weeks Storage life : 3 weeks (+refrigeration) 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
25
Recommended conditions of MAP/CAP
Product Temperature (oC) O2 (%) CO2 (%) N2 (%) Meat Fish Poultry Cheese Pasta Bread Apple Broccoli Tomato Banana 0 – 2 0 – 5 2 – 22 8 – 12 12 – 15 30 2 – 3 1 – 2 3 – 5 2 – 5 40 60 100 5 – 7 70 Rest 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
26
VACUUM PACKAGING 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
27
VACUUM PACKAGING Vacuum packaging is employed to achieved oxygen free atmosphere and to extend the refrigerated shelf life of: fresh meats processed meats Vacuum packaging is also called SKIN PACKAGING 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
28
History During World War II latex bag was used to pack food product
Latex (rubber) packed food product tightly oxygen free In modern time : atmosphere is by sucking 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
29
in the absence of oxygen, meat spoilage is retarded
In 1960s shrink vacuum packaging was applied to turkey and red meat by CRYOVAC in the absence of oxygen, meat spoilage is retarded The CRYOVAC process was applied to pack cut of beef the bag: did not permit the passage of water vapor reduced weight loss 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
30
Product packed with vacuum packaging Meat Poultry Processed food Fish
Cheese Coffee Cut vegetables Storage life: times 21 days at low temperature 6 months at freezing temperature 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
31
Packaging material used in vacuum packaging
Nylon – polyethylene laminate or aluminum foil PE : - good heat seal property - water resistant (low moisture transmission rate) Nylon : - give strength - barrier to O2 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP
32
Vacuum packaging will Avoid evaporation Avoid weight loss
Avoid dryness of product Avoid fat oxidation Avoid leaching of fluid and blood Avoid freezer burn No need to treat the surface of product for trimming 4/22/2017 YHA_ITP YHA_ITP
