<p><b>A complete guide to the principles and practical application of modified atmosphere packaging</b></p> <p>Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is one of the most cost-effective, versatile, and commonly used methods of preserving food products available today. Employed in both ambient and chilled conditions, it can prolong shelf-life and preserve the quality of a wide array of items via careful processes of atmospheric engineering. The essential scientific principles underlying this technology can, however, be difficult to grasp and effectively apply.</p> <p>With <i>Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Foods</i>, esteemed food science professor Dong Sun Lee provides a thorough and practical explanation of all aspects of MAP. Chapters covering the development, impact, and day-to-day application of the technique give a well-rounded understanding of its pivotal role in the food industry, while accounts of other active packaging methods help to provide broader context. This important new book includes:</p> <ul> <li>Detailed guidance on all aspects of MAP – from its scientific background to its practical application </li> <li>Information on how specific MAP products may be developed according to their particular engineering principles</li> <li>Coverage of the related active and intelligent packaging techniques</li> <li>Discussion of relevant food safety issues and regulations</li> </ul> <p><b> <br /></b>Containing vital information for industry professionals and food science researchers alike, <i>Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Foods</i> is an essential text for all those working to improve the quality and shelf-life of the food we eat.</p>
