Gases for the Food Industry
Freshmix™ Solutions
At Buse Gases Ltd, we specialise in providing high-quality gases for the food industry, focusing on innovative solutions like Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).
Our Freshmix™ range offers tailored gas solutions that extend the shelf life of food products while maintaining their flavor, aroma, and appearance. Adhering to strict quality and hygiene standards, our gases ensure that your food products meet consumer expectations for freshness and quality.
Pure Gases
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide is crucial for controlling bacterial and fungal growth, recommended at concentrations of at least 20% for the longest possible shelf life. However, its absorption by products with high moisture or fat content requires careful management to avoid quality changes, such as flavor alteration or packaging collapse
Nitrogen (N2)
Nitrogen serves as an inert buffer gas to displace air and oxygen, protecting against oxidative rancidity and helping prevent packaging collapse in CO2-absorbent products.
Oxygen (O2)
Oxygen can promote the growth of aerobic microorganisms and is generally minimized in MAP applications. However, it is necessary for preserving the natural colors of meats and maintaining the respiration rate in fruits and vegetables.
Specialty Gas Mixtures
Our Freshmix™ gas mixtures are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of different food products, from meats and cheeses to fruits and vegetables, ensuring optimal freshness and quality.
These mixtures are prepared with precise concentrations of CO2, N2, and O2 to create the best atmosphere for each product type.
Gas Mixtures for Specific Applications
Meats and Poultry: High concentrations of CO2 and O2 help preserve color and inhibit microbial growth.
Bakery Products: A balance of CO2 and N2 extends shelf life while maintaining the quality of cakes, bread, and pastries.
