Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/053676
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed are packaging systems and methods useful in extending the storage-life of foodstuff such as fresh fish. The packaging systems and methods can be used to transport or store the foodstuff for an extended period of time. The packaging systems preferably employee a high headspace and flexible architecture and may use a fuel cell to maintain a reduced oxygen level in a high carbon dioxide environment surrounding the foodstuff. Also disclosed are methods useful in extending the storage-life of foodstuff such as fresh fish. The methods can be used to transport or store the foodstuff for an extended period of time. The methods preferably use a low oxygen gas source to maintain a reduced oxygen level in the environment surrounding the foodstuff.
