Longer lasting quality, visually appealing, freshness - certain gases perform a wide range of tasks in the food industry. The main purpose of these applications is to protect an existing quality product. This means that the gas is typically used at the production stage. Typical applications include freezing and packaging, cooling during the blending and carbonization of beverages.

Messer is constantly developing new applications for the food industry. One example is Variomix®, which is used to quickly and accurately control product temperature during mixing; another is VarioSol®, which is used to manufacture powder products, or the Siber System, an innovative and flexible transport refrigeration system used to ensure the cold chain does not break down for fresh and frozen products.
