First scientific discovery
Jacques Étienne Bérard discovers delayed fruit ripening in low-oxygen conditions
The science behind STOR MiniMAP™ technology
The air we breathe is ideal for our bodies, but not the food and beverages we consume. At its core, MAP is about precision control of a more ideal gaseous preservation environment.
Protect and preserve
SuperSeal containers keep out contaminated atmosphere and offer the ability to control the storage environment.
Reduce oxygen
Whether vacuuming out air or flushing the container with inert gasses, the MiniMAP™ has a variety of ways to reduce elements like oxygen that accelerate degradation.
Replace the atmosphere
Introducing food-grade, inert gases like argon and nitrogen can slow down the natural processes that cause ingredients to brown, wilt, sour, go stale, and more.
The STOR MiniMAP™ system: precision-engineered for peak freshness
MiniMap™
This handheld device packs 100 years of food preservation technology into a portable, easy-to-use tool.
STOR™ Premium Cartridges
Proprietary STOR™ Cartridges are convenient and swappable. It’s like changing a AA battery, only easier.
STOR™ Containers
Proprietary STOR™ glass containers and BPA free lids maintain the modified food atmosphere, and maintain stackability and storability: a must for any kitchen.

Early Research
Scientists at Cambridge University begin the first systematic studies of “gas storage” for food
1930
Commercial Applications Begin
The first commercial gas storage for apples was built in Canterbury, England; ships then began using modified atmosphere environments to preserve apples and pears
1970
Modern MAP emerges
MAP as we know it hit the global stage, beginning with bacon and fish packaging in Mexico and quickly catching fire in the CPG world as more convenient, shelf-stable options emerged
1990
Industry Standard
MAP technology is widely adopted and ubiquitous in a variety of categories, with as much as 80% of food stocking grocery store shelves being in MAP packaging
