##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
In this article, MAR protects food and fruit and vegetable products from
oxygen and external moisture, oxygen does not prematurely age the product and
does not cause moisture deterioration or encourage the growth of bacteria, in MAR
machines it balances the atmosphere inside each package, i.e. removes O2 from the
package and replaces it. This is done by inserting N2 so that pressure and volume
are maintained appropriately without damaging the package or product.
