Methodology
The methodology of treating products with modified atmosphere refers to placement of products in airtight chambers and supplying nitrogen until the oxygen level falls below the necessary level. The temperature is also modified and the duration of the treatment depends on the type of insect and the pre-mentioned conditions. In these controlled conditions all stages of insects are killed. CA offers a realistic commercial option without using chemicals for killing insects in products.
