Preservation & Purging Applications

  • Bottling: oxygen is purged prior to sealing to prevent oxidation, spoilage of wine, juices and oils; also for leak testing
  • Packaging: MAP of modified atmospheric packaging introduces nitrogen and removes oxygen extending shelf life for bagged snacks, coffee, meats and dairy
  • Storage: blanketing is used in silos and tanks to prevent oxygen exposure and subsequential spoilage
  • Cleaning: food processing lines & storage tanks are purged of oxygen, moisture and other contaminants.

Production & Consumption Applications

  • Confections: nitrogen is injected during tempering or molding and forms bubbles in chocolates
  • Infusion: adding nitrogen to beverages like coffee and beer give and smooth and creamy texture, which dissolves less rapidly versus CO2
  • Dispensing: using to pressuring tanks, or kegs pushes beverages our without affecting taste and keeps the liquids fresher, longer
