Oxygen in the ambient air surrounding food and drinks reacts easily with the products resulting in oxidation that will change the flavor, color or speed up the rotting process of the products. To slow down the degradation process food products are stored and packed in protective atmosphere where oxygen levels are low. Nitrogen or CO2 are used to blanket the space around food, a measure that helps stabilize it and extend the shelf life.
