**Te Pupuri i te Hou mā te Hiri Korehau**

Ko tētahi o ngā tikanga e whakamahia whānuitia ana i roto i ngā takai kai kua rite ki te kai ko te hiri korehau. Ko tēnei tikanga ko te tango i te hau e karapoti ana i te kai, me te hiri ki roto i tētahi takai ārai-hau. Mā te kore o te hau ka tino whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te pirau me te tipu o ngā huakita hau, te rewena, me te pokepokea ai. Mā tēnei ka roa ake te ora o ngā kai me te kore e hiahiatia he matū tiaki.

Ehara i te mea ka tiakina te hou o te kai e te hiri korehau engari ka whakarei ake hoki i tōna reka. Mā te tango atu i te hau, ka mau tonu ngā reka, ka ārai i te tukanga waikura ka heke ai te reka. He tino whai hua tēnei tikanga mō ngā kai pēnei i te mīti, te tiihi, me ngā kai kua oti te taka ki roto i te korehau, kia rite tonu ai te reka ki te wā i taka tuatahitia ai.

Hei tāpiritanga, ka āwhina te hiri korehau ki te pupuri i te uara kai o te kai. Ka taea e te hāora te ngaronga o ngā matūkai, inā koa ngā huaora pēnei i te A, C, me te E. Mā te tango i te hau, ka whakarite ngā hiri korehau kia mau tonu te ihirangi kai o te kai mō te wā roa.

Ko te huarahi e tutuki ai i ēnei mīhini te whai huatanga me te pono, ko te hangarau tika me ngā rauemi matatau.

Ko ngā rauemi e whakamahia ana mō te hiri korehau he mea hanga motuhake kia kore e uru ki te hāora me ētahi atu hau, e whakarato ana i te ārai tino pai ki te taiao o waho.

**Whakapainga Ake i te Wā Noho me te Tākai Āhua Kua Whakarerekētia (MAP)**

Ko tētahi atu hangarau hou e whakarei ake ana i te ngāwari me te hou o ngā kai kua rite ki te kai ko te Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). Mā te whakarerekē i te āhuarangi i roto i te takai, ka whakaitihia e te MAP te tere manawa o ngā hua kai, ā, ka roa ake te ora o aua kai.

Ko te mahi a MAP mā te whakakapi i te hau i roto i te takai ki tētahi ranunga hau kua whakahaeretia, arā, te hauota, te hauhā waro, me te hāora. He rerekē ngā hanganga hau e hiahiatia ana mō ngā momo kai rerekē; hei tauira, ko ngā hua me ngā huawhenua hou me nui ake te kukū o te hāora kia noho hou ai, ko ngā mīti ia me nui ake te taumata o te hauhā waro hei aukati i te tipu o ngā moroiti.

He maha ngā huarahi e āwhina ai te tukanga MAP. Tuatahi, ka whakahaere i te tae, te kakano, me te makuku o te kai. Mō ngā hua pēnei i ngā hua kua tapatapahia, ngā huamata kua oti te hanga, he mea nui te pupuri i te kakano pakari me te tae kanapa kia pai ai te kukume o te kaihoko. Mā te MAP ka roa ake te āhua me te reka o ēnei kai i tō rātou āhuarangi noa.

Ko tētahi atu painga nui o MAP ko tōna kaha ki te whakaiti i te hiahia mō ngā mea tiaki kai. Nā te mea ko te hau kua whakarerekētia tonu hei ārai i te pirau, he iti ake te whakawhirinaki ki ngā mea tiaki kai matū, ā, ka hauora ake, ka taiao ake hoki te kai.

Ko ngā mīhini MAP e whakamahia tahitia ana me ngā rauemi kiriata ārai-teitei e maukati ana i ngā hau kua whakarerekētia me te pupuri i te makuku kia kore e uru. Me ine tika ēnei mīhini i ngā taumata hau, ā, me whakarite aunoa i te ranunga kia pai ai te tiaki.

**He whai hua ki te hangarau whakakī-āhua-hiri**

Ko te hangarau Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) te kaupapa matua o ngā mahi tākai kai kua rite ki te kai, e whakarato ana i te whai huatanga me te whai wāhi ki te mahi. Ka hangaia e ngā mīhini FFS te rauemi tākai, ka whakakīia ki te hua, ka hiritia, i roto i tētahi tukanga tonu me te aunoa. Mā tēnei whakatikatika ka whakaitihia te wawaotanga a te tangata, ka whakaitihia te tūponotanga o te poke, ā, ka mau tonu te kounga o te kai.

E rua ngā momo matua o ngā mīhini FFS: te poutū (VFFS) me te whakapae (HFFS). E whakamahia whānuitia ana ngā mīhini VFFS mō te tākai i ngā matū kirikiri me ngā matū paura pērā i ngā hupa inamata, ngā pata, me ngā mea kakara. He rerekē, he pai ake ngā mīhini HFFS mō ngā mea totoka, pērā i ngā hanawiti, ngā kai mātao, me ngā kai kua oti te taka.

He mea nui te hangarau FFS hei whakarite i te hou o ngā kai kua rite ki te kai. Mā te aunoatanga o ēnei mīhini ka taea te takai tere, ko te tikanga he iti ake te wā e noho ana te hua ki te taiao i mua i te hiri. Nō reira, ka mau tonu te kounga o te kai mai i te wā i hangaia ai ki te wā e kainga ai.

Heoi anō, kua hangaia ngā mīhini FFS kia maha ngā whakamahinga, kia taea ai te whakamahi i ngā momo rauemi tākai rerekē, tae atu ki ngā kirihou, te pepa konumohe, me ngā kiriata pirau. He mea nui tēnei urutau mō te whakarite i te tākai ki ngā whakaritenga motuhake o te hua kai, ahakoa mō ngā kai e taea te whakamahi i roto i te ngaruiti, ngā kai whakamatao, ngā kai tio rānei.

Ka whai wāhi atu hoki te hangarau FFS ki te oranga tonutanga o ngā takai. He maha ngā mīhini FFS hou kua hangaia hei arotau i te whakamahinga rauemi, hei whakaiti i te para. Ko tā rātou whāinga hoki he whai hua i te pūngao, hei whakaiti i te tapuwae waro whānui o te tukanga takai.
