Benefits

  • Nitrogen gas in only slightly soluble in a wide range of liquids and is therefore used to flush unwanted gases from solutions

Applications and Uses

  • Use in combinations with carbon dioxide in MAP applications to prevent pack collapse
  • Vegetable oils, animal fats where oxidation causes rancidity
  • Process water, where dissolved oxygen causes unwanted product characteristics
  • Milk products where oxidation produces unacceptable odour and flavours
  • Syrup tanks in soft drink factories for reducing in-can oxygen levels
  • Fresh fruit juice to increase shelf life
  • Pressure transfer of liquids

 

 Please Note:

  • To displace oxygen where aerobic spoilage mechanisms dominate and oxidative rancidity may be a problem.
