Protective Atmospheres for Food and Beverages
ALIGAL single and mixed gases are designed to satisfy demanding quality requirements of the food industry. They are used extensively in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) of a wide variety of food products. By preserving the freshest characteristics of foods, and by extending shelf life, ALIGAL food-quality gases empower food processors and retailers to:

ALIGAL pure and mixed gases from Air Liquide preserve natural color and flavor of fresh food and beverages while inhibiting spoilage due to oxidation, bacteria and mold that typically occur as a result of exposure to air. Each ALIGAL protective atmosphere has been scientifically formulated to address the specific shelf life requirements of a wide selection of foods, ranging from case-ready meats, fresh poultry, processed meats, cheese and freshly cut salads to prepared entrées, fresh pasta, sandwich kits, snack foods and bakery products.
ALIGAL gases are available in a range of blends appropriate to specific foods and meet standards for approved food packaging uses. They are colorless and odorless and comply with procedure controls and quality assurance throughout the production process. Strict filling and testing procedures assure a consistent and quality product.
