MAPfresh from Gas Link Group is a complete range of food-grade gas mixtures developed for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) across the food manufacturing and processing industries. Each blend is precisely formulated using Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Nitrogen (N₂), and Oxygen (O₂) to protect product quality, extend shelf life, and reduce waste.
By tailoring the balance of these gases, MAPfresh mixtures help slow microbial growth, preserve natural colour, and maintain product texture and freshness — ensuring food looks and tastes as good as the day it was packed. From meat, poultry, and seafood to dairy, bakery, and fresh produce, MAPfresh gases deliver dependable protection and presentation across all food sectors.
Our standard MAPfresh range includes:
MAPfresh 25% CO₂ + 75% O₂ – Commonly used for fresh red meats to maintain colour and freshness.
MAPfresh 30% CO₂ + 70% N₂ – Suitable for bakery and dried foods to inhibit mould growth.
MAPfresh 5% O₂ + 20% CO₂ + 75% N₂ – Specially formulated for fresh salad leaves and lettuce to retain crispness and extend shelf life.
MAPfresh 50% CO₂ + 50% N₂ – Ideal for cheese, cooked meats, and other chilled foods requiring extended storage.
While these are our most commonly supplied blends, Gas Link Group can produce any MAP gas mixture to meet your exact product and packaging requirements. Our team of food gas specialists will work closely with you to recommend or develop the ideal gas composition for your specific application.
All MAPfresh gases are supplied in food-grade cylinders, with micro-bulk and bulk delivery options available for high-volume food production sites. Every mixture is produced, filled, and tested under strict food safety and quality control procedures, ensuring purity, consistency, and compliance with all relevant standards.
