Vaccum packaging and its use in food

VACUUM PACKAGING IT'S USE IN FOOD INDUSTRY 1/3 WHAT IS VACUUM PACKAGING? Vacuum packing is a method of food preservation. In vacuum packing, the air (mainly oxygen) is removed prior to packing. Removal of the air helps in limiting the growth of microbes on the food and thus increases the shelf life of the food. It’s important to remember that foods which usually require refrigeration/freezing must also be kept in the fridge/freezer once vacuum packed It is necessary to take adequate precautions when vacuum packing. 3/3 BENEFITS & USE IN FOOD INDUSTRY: Vacuum packaging offers some special benefits because of the extended product life. Reduced weight evaporation. loss through the control of Protection against contamination. Preservation of colour. Help maintain and improved eating characteristics because of the longer ageing that is possible in vacuum bags. 2/3 We deliver End-to-End Engineering Design and Construction Management Projects in Food and Beverage Industry PMG Engineering Meeting Global Benchmarks Process Engineering Project Management Food Safety Automation Mechanical & Electrical www.pmg.engineering
