      Question

      Which of the following is the most soluble gas used in

      MAP a) Carbon Dioxide b) Nitrogen c) Oxygen d) Argon
      A Only A is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only B is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only D is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D A and B are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E C and D are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Explanation: Carbon Dioxide is the most soluble gas used in MAP. The solubility of CO2  is 3350 mg/kg at 0°C. The solubility of Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon is 69, 29, 100 mg/kg at 0°C respectively. The solubility of CO2  increases with decreasing temperature. For this reason, the antimicrobial activity of CO2  is markedly greater at temperatures below 10°C than at 15°C or higher.
