Headspace Gas Analyzer For Modified Atmosphere Packaging

The main purpose of modified atmosphere packaging and headspace gas is to extend the life of the product . This process often changes the oxygen concentration (O2) inside the packaging to include oxidation (chemical reaction) and other gases that will slow down microbe growth and development.

To obtain the most effective protection for each type of food It has its own modified atmosphere. For example, the modified atmosphere recommended for apples is 5% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide and 90% is set to nitrogen . For red meat, the ideal modified atmosphere for retail consists of 70% oxygen and 30% carbon dioxide. It is essential to use a headspace gas analyzer to ensure packaging compatibility, safety and accurate measurements. Such detectors require regular calibration.

Portable Oxybaby® protective atmosphere analyzer A lot It has the advantage:
