Food spoilage and preservation is a major concern worldwide. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of modified atmospheric packaging usage across various products and underscores food safety and preservation significance. Modified atmospheric packaging emphasizes the potential to maintain quality and extend the shelf life of products. Data was collected from electronic databases from the last fifteen years, 2010 to 2024. MAP technology has successfully extended the shelf-life of numerous food products such as fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, and dairy goods by adjusting atmospheric gases. As a result, it minimizes microbial growth, delays biochemical changes, and prevents physical degradation in food products. This review highlights the importance of modified atmospheric packaging in achieving sustainable development goals, specifically in reducing food waste. Modified atmospheric packaging is a modern preservation technique which offers insights into sustainability and food safety.
