Abstract
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), although used for a wide variety of products in the dairy sector, has mainly been applied to the packaging of cheese. The cheese category itself comprises many different types, varying in composition and thus in shelf-life. Therefore, the packaging of each type of cheese needs to be considered separately. Another factor to consider is that some cheeses are CO2 producers, while others are not. Furthermore, the age of the cheese may vary from three months to two years at the stage of packaging (McDonald, 1985).
