IF YOU WANT TO OFFER A PREMIUM COFFEE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED PREMIUM QUALITY CONTROL

The coffee market is very competitive, and consumers are increasingly aware of their preferences in terms of flavor. When expecting premium quality, an experience of bitterness or stale flavor will likely affect their decision to repurchase. Therefore, it is natural for coffee packers to look for new and improved methods whether they are start-ups or established businesses.

Make quality control more reliable with constant testing and controlling, and ensure a consistent coffee experience.

CONTROL THREE CRUCIAL POINTS OF COFFEE PACKAGING

RESIDUAL O2

Keep the oxygen level inside the package low to avoid oxidation. Once the coffee is exposed to oxygen (O2), flavor and aroma start to degrade as solubles start to oxidize. To avoid this, you need to create a headspace atmosphere that excludes O2. This is the first condition if you want to offer a consistent premium coffee experience.

DEGASSING THE PACKAGE

After roasting, several chemical reactions take place in the beans, such as the formation of CO2. They release gases for days after roasting. However, the gases cannot escape from inside the bag which will cause the entire coffee bag to balloon with the risk of rupture. To avoid this, a degassing valve is usually added to the bag.

MAINTAINING PACKAGING INTEGRITY

means avoiding any leaks in packaging or sealing. Leaks will expose the coffee to O2 which will cause the coffee to become stale, or worse, allowing oxygen or moisture to ingress into the packaging, causing mold development.

WHAT IS MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING?

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is the process of changing the composition of the internal atmosphere of a package to extend its shelf life. In the MAP packaging process, the gases we use to preserve the product is usually a mix of Nitrogen (N2) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

In order for MAP packaging to be valuable for your production, one of the most important factors is to keep the packaging absolutely air tight.

Using MAP technology can offer many benefits including:

Enhances the visual appeal of the product
Increases the shelf life of the product
Minimizes the need for chemicals to preserve
Lowering the cost of food product and package waste
