Question

As opposed to EMAP, Modified Atmosphere Packaging [MAP] helps prevent food spoilage by:

increasing the pH of the food by adding basic (alkaline) gases into the sealed package

decreasing the water activity of the food by binding water molecules to other gases introduced into the package

decreasing the amount of available molecular oxygen

exposing food to elevated molecular oxygen levels before canning the food

using opaque plastic wrap rather than clear plasic wrap in order to reduce food damage due to light
