Although most of the seafood was sent to retail and institutional markets unpacked, whole or dressed fish and some shellfish were packed in ice and marketed in bulk containers recently the trend is changing more to be packed the seafood with the help of latest packaging innovations and the changing customer demands at a rapid rate.

Seafood packaging is highly important since even in frozen condition, fishery products are among the most perishable of all products. Three biochemical and biological factors contribute to the rapid loss in quality.

The primary factor is bacteria, since fishery products are an excellent nutrient source for bacterial growth. Bacteria convert many natural components into off-odors or off-flavors, and sometimes produce toxic compounds. Second, the lipids in fishery products are highly unsaturated compared to those of other muscle foods and are easily converted into rancid compounds. Third, several digestive and muscle enzymes actively break down muscle proteins, which can result in soft, mushy textures.

The permeability of gases and water through packaging material is determined by its chemical composition. Today, high-barrier films, which may be laminated or coextruded, consist of two or more layers of materials that differ in composition. In this way, several properties such as gas permeability, heat sealing ability and flexibility at cold temperatures can be built into a single film to meet packaging needs.

Cehuma CM Series are quite excellent suit to seafood packaging demands offering both Vacuum and modified atmoshpere packaging. Particularly modified-atmosphere packaging is decreasing the microbial growth and enzymatic degradation therefore increasing the product shelf life. The principal gas used in modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) is carbon dioxide. However, other gases, such as oxygen, are often added to prevent undesirable color changes.

Several factors influence the antimicrobial effects of carbon dioxide in modified-atmosphere packages. These include the initial microbial load, concentration of gas, temperature and film permeability. To be effective against aerobic spoilage microorganisms, 20-60 percent carbon dioxide is required within the headspace of modified-atmosphere packages.

Our CM Series machines offering automatic vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging for frozen or unfrozen fish, muscles, crabs, schrimps, salmon fillets, fish fillets and the other seafood products

Packaging plays an important role in providing safe and high quality of products that are fresh, minimally and fully processed food products. In its various forms, packaging also plays a critical role in developing a marketable product, that enhances consumer appeal and shelf presence making it ‘easy-to-sell’ in a retail environment. A good packaged food product when eaten by the consumer, when maintaining high quality, delivers customer satisfaction, thereby providing long term marketability of the packaged product. 

Date is a berry fruit that can be consumed at three stages of its growth and development, including Khalal, Rutab and Tamar. 

Cehuma offers its CM series thermoform packaging machines for dates of different varieties for both vacuum and mofieid atmosphere packaging to increase the shelf life and sales.

Bakery, pastry and other food products can be also both vacuum and modified atmosphere packed to preserve them from  staling, water loss or gain, oxidation, and microbial growth which leads degradation. Losing or capturing water deteoriates the surface apperance of the baked foods. Furthermore lipid oxidation of the unsaturated fats results in off-odors and off-flavors within the package. Therefore a convenient and robust packaging eliminates the oxidation and make these off-odors and off-flavors to free to escape.

With the full awareness of contributing to decreasing of the food waste, increasing the food safety Cehuma is producing high quality thermoforming vacuum and MAP packaging machine for food, bakery and pastry products like sandwiches, pancakes, tortilla, breads, cakes, cheesecakes, croissants, crumpets, danish pastries, pies, fruit tarts, muffins, pitta bread, pizza bases, pretzels, sponge layer cakes, swiss rolls, taco shells, waffles, sweets, hummus, breadsticks and more...

Cehuma is also known for high demanding thermoforming packaging machines for medical kits like surgical brushes, syringes, diagnostic kits, medical sponges etc…

Cehuma CM Series are very suitable for thermoforming packing of medical kits even in cleanroom environment with fully equipped at highest standards as well as fully integration of pre and post processes to offer the best optimum efficiency.

Table olives are one of the major agricultural commodities cultivated around the world, and they are probably the most important and popular fermented food worldwide. From field to table, new techniques have been developed to decrease microbial load of potential spoilage microorganisms, improve fermentation kinetics and ensure safety of consumption of the packed olives.

To control microbial activity and minimize the production of mycotoxins, retain the quality characteristics of the packed olives packaging has vital importance.

MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) is one of the most important preservation method for olives. It consists in creating an atmosphere composed by CO2, O2, and /or N2 in a pack, regulating the ripening process, extending shelf life, controlling or reducing microbial spoilage during storage and distribution. Vacuum packaging is an efficient method in which the olive is packed with low oxygen permeability plastic film, then air is evacuated, and the package sealed.

Cehuma offers its CM series for packaging of olives both as vacuum or modified atmopshere packaging (MAP) leading a longer shelf life and high quality.

Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables are the type of food which is processed minimally or slightly offer consumers ready-to-eat/use fruit and vegetable products. They are convenient, healthful, and in a fresh-like state. Processing of fresh-cut produce involves sorting, cleaning, washing, trimming/peeling/deseeding/coring, and cutting . Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables are the most rapidly growing convenient food category in history.

The success of fresh-cut fruit and vegetable products in the marketplace has been made possible by modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) innovations. MAP is a packaging technology that modifies the gas composition around the products in food packages from normal air to provide an atmosphere for increasing the shelf life and maintaining the quality of the food.

As Fresh cut fruits and vegetables has a fast respiration rate which leads to rapid deterioration packaging plays a key role for keeping the fresh cut fruits and vegetables at the shelves for a long period of time. This is where CEHUMA comes into mind as Cehuma offers its CM series for vacuum and modified atmosphere packing of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables at a superior quality.

Drying is one of the oldest methods used to preserve foods for long period of time. Due to their significantly active surface, preservation of dried fruits is quite challenging and they are very prone to humidity and oxidation during the strorage. Therefore, it is very important to select the ideal packaging for dried fruits like olives, dates, appricots, figs, mulberries, apples, plums, hazelnuts, wallnuts ...

Modified atmosphere packaging inhibites the damaging effects of external factors on dried fruits with the help of Nitrogen. Since the shelf life of dried fruit is very long, MAP materials must have very high moisture and gas barrier properties. Top and bottom co-extruded PA/PE thermoforming barrier films,offers a very succesfull protection for dates and other dried fruits.

Cehuma offers both vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) machines for dates, appricots, olives, figs, apples, plums, nuts... at the highest possible speed with a reliable quality.

With the changing world, people are more eager to spent their time for themselves visiting around, doing their hobbies, having time with their friends which forces food service companies offering smart, healthy ready-to-eat meal solutions. These ready meals are able to offer the same nutrition, variety, and quality of food the same as the home-cooked meal without the consumer having to sacrifice their time to cook from scratch every day. The packaging for this type of meal needs to provide protection during shipment, be carefully sealed to prevent outside contaminants and preserve freshness, and come in microwave- or oven-safe containers for an easy reheating process.

Cehuma CM series are very convenient for ready to eat meals packaging at a high speed and efficiency.
