The document introduces AMAP (Active Modified Atmosphere Packaging) technology, which uses a respiration meter, predictive software, and laser perforation system to extend the shelf-life of fresh produce. The respiration meter measures the respiration rate of produce, the predictive software and database determine the optimal gas concentrations, and the laser perforation system customizes the film's oxygen transmission rate. This allows for dynamic control of the film's gas transmission to maintain the optimal modified atmosphere levels throughout storage and distribution.
