Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
food packaging gas  A food additive that is a (generally inert) gas which is used to envelop foodstuffs during packing and so protect them from unwanted chemical reactions such as food spoilage or oxidation during subsequent transport and storage. The term includes propellant gases, used to expel foods from a container.
food propellant  A propellant that is used to expel foods from an aerosol container.
