| The research status of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of aquatic products technology, and the
composition and effect of MAP were mainly introduced in this article. The CO2 acts on bacteriostasis, the N2 acts on
filling gas, the O2 and CO act to protect color. Furthermore, from the aspect of processing of material fish, packaging
materials and storage temperature, the factors on preservation of MAP were also investigated. Low temperature
combined with MAP has a great inhibition effect on spoilage organisms and pathogenic bacteria, but the high
concentrations of CO2 gas packaging increase the juice loss of aquatic products. MAP is more effective to extend the
shelf life of aquatic products than the vacuum packaging. |
