  FDA/CFSAN: Microbiological Safety of Controlled and Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Fresh and Fresh-Cut Produce
A modified atmosphere can be defined as one that is created by altering the normal composition of air (78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.03% carbon dioxide and traces of noble gases) to provide an optimum atmosphere for increasing the storage length and quality of food/produce (Moleyar and Narasimham 1994; Phillips 1996).
Under controlled atmospheric conditions, the atmosphere is modified from that of the ambient atmosphere, and these conditions are maintained throughout storage.
Study the interactions of the background microflora with foodborne pathogens in various modified atmospheres used for produce, as well as the effects of different gaseous environments on the survival and growth of bacterial foodborne pathogens on whole and fresh-cut produce.

  Food preservation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It should be noted that although irradiation is effective at killing bacteria, fungi and other pathogens, there is still a danger that the food may contain some of their toxins.
Modified atmosphere is a way to preserve food operating on the atmosphere around it.
Salad crops which are notoriously difficult to preserve are now being packaged in sealed bags with an atmosphere modified to reduce the oxygen (O

 Plastic Bags For You - Modified Atmosphere Packaging MAP
"Modified Atmosphere Packaging" can satisfy both of these demands and is rapidly spreading throughout Europe and overseas.
MAP is a result of extensive research conducted by the Food Development Center (FDC) of the Philippines and Korea Food Research Institute (KFRI) from 1995 to 1998 before the zeolite-coated film was finally deemed fit for use.
A modified atmosphere is created in the box by lining it with a film designed to keep oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the headspace of the box between 7-10%.

 Science and technology of modified atmosphere packaging
More comprehensive treatment is available in a chapter on modified atmosphere packaging, written by the author and Derek McDowell, in the book 'Food Packaging Technology'.
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is defined as "the packaging of a perishable product in an atmosphere which has been modified so that its composition is other than that of air" (Hintlian and Hotchkiss, 1986).
Whereas controlled atmosphere storage involves maintaining a fixed concentration of gases surrounding the product by careful monitoring and addition of gases, the gaseous composition of fresh MAP foods is constantly changing due to chemical reactions and microbial activity.

 Ready To Eat Salads - Chlorine Washing - Modified Atmosphere Packaging
The plumpness of the bag is down to Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), a process whereby oxygen is removed from around the food in order to stop oxidation and the subsequent browning of leaves.
In essence, by modifying the atmosphere around the food, MAP serves to increase its shelf life.
This is because some disease causing bacteria are still able to survive in the absence of oxygen; the additional gases prevent them multiplying by making the atmosphere inside the bag more acidic.
