The beverage market can be divided into three categories: hot beverages like tea or coffee, soft drinks including juices, carbonated drinks and mineral waters, and alcoholic drinks including beer, wine and spirits.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

The principal spoilage mechanisms affecting perishable chilled fruit or vegetable juices are microbial growth and physical separation. Ambient stable beverages, such as beers, carbonated soft drinks, ciders, lagers, liqueurs, mineral waters, wines and spirits are also prone to selected microbial spoilage and some from oxidative off-flavours. Our FRESHLINET specialists, experienced in all aspects of MAP packaging, will advise you on the correct gas mixtures and the most appropriate equipment to use.

Beverage Processing

Blanketing, counter-pressurisation, purging, sparging, de-aeration and product movement can all be carried out using nitrogen at whatever stage they are required in the production and packaging process. Air Products has developed technology for each product and step in your production.
