Aims:
- To conduct a literature review to better understand the potential effects of the packaging process parameters to be used in an optimal system.
- To evaluate the current NASA food packaging system to include the definition of individual processing parameters.
- To experimentally determine the optimum processing parameters for a long duration food system.

Description:
This study identified optimal modified atmospheric packaging conditions and packaging parameters. The final deliverable was a report that contributed to gap closure by identifying improvements to the parameters of the packaging process that have the potential to reduce packaging mass and improve food quality through shelf life.
