70% Oxygen

  • E948 - Oxygen - O2

  • Oxidising

  • Maintains life

  • Preserves the red color of meat

  • Limits the development of anaerobic germs

  • Ensures the respiration of fresh and living products

30% Carbon dioxide

  • E290 - Carbon dioxide - CO2

  • Carbon dioxide is the most important gas in MAP

  • Bacteriostatic and fungistatic from a certain level

  • Very soluble in water and fats

What are the benefits of CO2 & O2 gas mixtures on food products?

  • Extension of the shelf life of the products by 2 to 5 times compared to normal atmosphere packaging. It gives producers the opportunity to step into new markets, both national and international, thanks to this longer shelf life.

  • Perfect visibility of the product.

  • Attractiveness of the packaging.

  • Preservation of the color, shape and texture of the product.

  • Protection against the risks of crushing the product and limiting the risks of contact with the packaging caused by vacuuming.

In which volume can I buy ALIGAL™ 27 gas mixtures for foods?

Buy 70% Oxygen / 30% CO2 gas mixture in the quantity that you need: from single small gas bottles, to bundles (package of 9 to 16 cylinders) up to a separated liquid storage tank with a gas mixer, delivering the right flow to your packaging machine.

Why choose ALIGAL™ 27 gas mixture composed of 70% O2 & 30% CO2?

Food manufacturers have known and feared one of their biggest “enemies” for years: Air contains oxygen and promotes the development of bacteria and microbes and causes various damage to the foods: change of color, texture, taste, and has an impact on the shelf life. To avoid these effects, Air Liquide offers a solution: the packaging in a protective atmosphere (also called "gas packaging" or MAP). The solution is to replace the air in the packaging with an alternative gas composition, which can extend the organoleptic properties, nutritional value and shelf life of the product.
