How high-quality gases impact food and beverage applications
The use of specific gases in food processing, such as modified atmosphere packaging, can significantly extend the shelf life of products without the need for preservatives.
High-quality gases can speed up processes such as carbonation and freezing, enhancing throughput and reducing energy usage.
Using inert gases like nitrogen in packaging displaces oxygen, which can degrade food quality, thus preserving freshness and extending shelf life.

Positioning BUSE products to food and beverage
CO2 especially has a wide range of applications in this industry.
The most obvious is the gas used for carbonating beverages, in particular beer, ciders, soft drinks, and wines. This prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Carbon dioxide can also be used for decaffeinating coffee. CO2 keeps food products cold while they are being transported.
In addition, it can also be used for quick-freezing and, in combination with ethylene oxide, for cold sterilising food.

O2 (Oxygen)
Used in controlled atmospheric packaging to maintain the colour of fresh meats and produce, our oxygen helps keep products looking appealing and fresh longer.
Nitrogen
As a key player in both packaging and freezing processes, nitrogen helps in preserving freshness, preventing freezer burn, and maintaining the structural integrity of food products.
