CORRECT

Which statement is true?

Mixing gases on-site is more affordable than pre-mixed gases, but not as accurate.

Mixing gases on-site is less affordable than pre-mixed gases, since you must buy more types of gas.

 Mixing gases on-site is more affordable and flexible than pre-mixed gases, since you can adjust the mixture
and make different mixtures for different products.

Mixing gases on-site is less affordable and flexible than pre-mixed gases, since you need a buffer tank.

CORRECT

MAP involves:

Removing atmospheric gases from the package to make a vacuum.

 Removing atmospheric gases from the package and replacing them with the same gases in different
concentrations.

Removing atmospheric gases from the package and replacing them with oxygen.

Removing atmospheric gases from the package and replacing them with other gases like carbon hydrogen and helium

CORRECT

Gas mixers regulate the gas input and output flow and pressure to:

Ensure an accurate mix ratio

Ensure a stable gas supply to the packaging machine

  Both of the above

CORRECT

Horizontal and vertical flow packaging machines flush gas continuously as packages are formed and filled, so

There is a lot of wasted gas.

 Finding the right gas flow volume and speed are important.

The gas is gathered in a buffer tank.

It isn’t important that the gas mixture is accurate.

INCORRECT

Tray sealer and thermoform packaging machines require

A steady, continuous flow of MAP gases.

A buffer tank to provide a burst of MAP gases.

 A direct supply of mixed MAP gases from a gas mixer.

Dynamic flow control to ensure the correct pressure and flow output.

Multiple gas mixers per packaging line.

CORRECT

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) uses specific gas mixtures to:

Keep products looking fresh and encourage bacterial growth.

Maximize shelf life of products and minimize flavor and aroma.

Keep products looking fresh, despite loss of nutritional value.

 Maximize shelf life of products and preserve flavor and aroma.

CORRECT

The speed of your packaging machine, type of products being packaged, and the size of packages are ALL important to
consider when choosing a gas mixer.
  True

False

CORRECT

The MAP gas mixture is added to packages after they leave the packaging line.

True

 False
