Food-Grade Gases

Certified Food-Grade Quality

Extend the shelf life of your products:

• The spoilage of fresh food is naturally inhibited through modified atmosphere packaging. Products stay fresh and appealing for longer, with less spoilage and fewer complaints
• Expand your catchment area and reach new markets. Products protected under MAP can be delivered over longer periods and wider geographic areas. Planning becomes more flexible and logistics more efficient. Production yields are optimized, along with production resources and staffing.
• Innovate sustainably. The shelf life of protected products is naturally extended by days or even weeks. The amount of artificial preservatives can be reduced. Special, bio-based and attractive packaging is developed every day- so get started and innovate sustainably with protective atmosphere packaging.
• The GALFRO range consists of pure gases and food gas mixtures to achieve the desired properties. Nitrogen (N₂): nitrogen protects products against oxidation, limits the growth of aerobic bacteria, and prevents packaging deformation.
• Carbon dioxide (CO₂): gives beverages a sparkling, tangy taste, limits the growth of aerobic bacteria and slows down mold growth. Oxygen (O₂): maintains the respiration of fresh produce, limits the growth of anaerobic bacteria, and preserves the color of red meat.
• Argon (Ar): like nitrogen, argon protects products against oxidation, limits the growth of aerobic bacteria and prevents packaging deformation. It reduces enzymatic degradation. Liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and liquid carbon dioxide (-78.5°C): these cryogenic gases provide the cooling power needed for fast freezing or rapid cooling of the product while preserving its texture.
