What is Vacuum Package?

 

Vacuum packing is a method of packaging that removes air from the package prior to sealing. This method involves placing items in a plastic film package, removing air from inside and sealing the package. Shrink film is sometimes used to have a tight fit to the contents. The intent of vacuum packing is usually to remove oxygen from the container to extend the shelf life of foods and, with flexible package forms, to reduce the volume of the contents and package. It is also commonly used to store dry foods over a long period of time, such as cereals, nuts, cured meats, cheese, smoked fish, coffee, and potato chips (crisps). On a more short-term basis, vacuum packing can also be used to store fresh foods, such as vegetables, meats, and liquids, because it inhibits bacterial growth.

 
Features of Vacuum Package

Application of Vacuum Package

The underpinning goal of vacuum packing is to create an anaerobic environment. Removing oxygen from direct contact with the food item has two application:


●It prevents oxygen from reacting with the food item, which deteriorates its quality and appearance. A good example of this effect is the oxidative rancidity of fats which require oxygen to take place. Additionally, color changes in food are almost always caused by oxygen.


●It prevents the growth of spoilage bacteria. Vacuum packing food items prevents bacteria from growing, which, in turn, reduces spoilage of perishable food (foods that require cold storage and are not stable at room temperature for long). Spoilage bacteria are the various bacteria that spoil food in the ways humans can perceive through odor, color, and appearance.


Such bacteria need oxygen to survive and spoil food in ways you can perceive with your senses. Creating an anaerobic environment deprives the food of the necessary oxygen they need to multiply. This slows down the deterioration of food quality.


While preventing the growth of spoilage bacteria goes a long way to increase the longevity of food items, there is still a risk of other types of bacteria multiplying and making your food unsafe for consumption. The resulting anaerobic environment is the perfect breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria such as C. botulinum which causes botulinum poisoning.

Benefits of Vacuum Package

 

 

If you have been wondering whether a vacuum packaging would be of use in your life, here are some benefits of owning a food vacuum sealer:

 

Save Your Time
Seal family-sized portions of meals or individual portions of snacks or vegetables and freeze. When it’s time to eat, fix the portions you need and you’re done. This is very useful and dinner is served very quickly.

 

Save Your Money
Buying meats in bulk, dividing into meal-sized portions and sealing allows you to have fresh meat on hand for up to 6 months. This leads to an incredible cost savings over buying your meat from the counter before every meal.

 

Protects Food
Vacuum sealing protects food from dehydration and freezer burn. Freezer burn occurs when water gets into your food. The vacuum bag keeps your food from contact with the air, so moisture cannot evaporate, making it an excellent barrier from the elements.

 

Extends Shelf Life
The shelf life of your food is greatly extended when you vacuum seal it. Vacuum sealing food preserves it 3 to 5 times longer than food stored in plastic containers or bags. The exact amount of time food will last in vacuum sealing varies depending on whether you are storing in the refrigerator, freezer or pantry.

 

Efficient Food Organization
Vacuum sealing makes for efficient, organized packaging. Vacuum sealed food takes up less room in your refrigerator or freezer and allows you to easily see the foods you are storing.

 

No Freezer Burn
Vacuum sealing provides food an air-tight environment, preventing the crystals that cause freezer burn from forming on your food. Vacuum sealing keeps the moisture in your food for an extended period of time, allowing you to enjoy food that tastes fresh months after you have stored it.

 

Food Tastes Better
Vacuum sealing holds in the moisture, juices, and flavor of the food. You’ll notice the difference in taste.

 

Keeps Food Fresh
Vacuum sealing not only keeps food from spoiling, it keeps fats in the food from going rancid, keeps foods from changing color as they often do in the freezer, and prevents them from getting a slimy film or bad odor.

 

Store Liquids Easier
Place the liquid in the freezer for a couple hours to harden it a little. Then place the partially frozen liquid into a sealing bag, leaving room at the top for sealing. You can also seal liquids inside a jar and vacuum seal the jar. Vacuum seal any leftover food from your meal right away. This eliminates you having to throw out the food and gives you another easy meal for the future. Freeze the leftover portions and they will last for months – keeping you from having to eat the same meal three nights in a row. Pull it out a few weeks later for a meal that tastes fresh.

 
Factors to Consider When Choose Vacuum Package

Did you know that vacuum bags are the most important factor in the quality of stored food? If you noticed that your vacuum bag melted during vacuuming with vacuum sealer or the machine didn’t remove enough air, then the problem lies in vacuum bags you are using and not in the machine as most users think. Read the following post about the most important cues when you are vacuum-packing food for freezing and long-term storage.

 

Materials
Bag structure is very important because the insides of the bags are in direct contact with food. Bag producers need to guarantee all the used materials are food grade and list the temperatures, at which vacuum bags are safe to use (are the bags appropriate for freezing and Sous Vide cooking?). Our food vacuum bags are made of polyamide and polyethylene. Polyamide (PA) ensures oxygen impermeability. It is important to note that our vacuum bags have the thickest layer (20 µm) of PA on the market. Polyethylene (PE) ensures quality sealing. Latest researches also show that PE is one of the safest materials to be used with food. Your food will stay the same as it was on the day of vacuum packing after six months or even longer. Bags can also be used for freezing and Sous Vide cooking (at 70°C up to 12 hours, at 80°C maximum of 6 hours, at 100°C maximum of 15 minutes).

 
 

The Thickness
It is very important that food vacuum bags are thick enough because they also protect the food from outside mechanical damage. With the right bags, you don’t have to worry about food packages rubbing against each other in the freezer and tearing. Be careful when vacuum-packing meat with sharp bones. We recommend you coat the sharp edges with paper towels before vacuuming. Our food vacuum bags have 100 µm thick smooth layer and 120 µm thick ribbed layer.

 
 

Ribbed Profile
The last two factors that distinguish top-quality vacuum bags from lower-quality bags are the shape and the height of the ribbed profile. Both are very important for efficient vacuuming – removing the air from the bag in many continuous cycles of vacuum packing goods. Let us elaborate: if you would try to vacuum pump the air out of the bag with two smooth layers, the layers would stick together even before all the air was removed and the food wouldn’t be stored properly. The special shape of the channels in the ribbed profile ensures effective air flow during vacuum packing. The height of the ribbed profile ensures quality vacuum storage in many continuous cycles of vacuum packing.

 
 

Quality of Bags
There are three ways to get information about the thickness of the bag and used materials – check the declaration, judge by price, or measure. The declaration should state the information about the thickness, but we still advise you to verify its truthfulness with the vernier caliper. If the declaration doesn’t state the information about the thickness and the bags feel thinner and are much cheaper than most vacuum bags on the market, they are probably not adequate for long-term food storage.

 

How to Use Vacuum Package?

 

 

To use vacuum bags safely, choose approved "food-quality" bags and give preference to recognized brands to avoid unpleasant surprises. It's also important to observe kitchen hygiene rules when vacuum packing food.


Step 1: Thoroughly clean the bag opening before each use, to ensure that the edges are free of any food residues that could compromise the bag's seal.
Step 2: Position the top edge of the bag correctly, avoiding creases or wrinkles when it is inserted into the sealing machine or vacuum chamber, for a strong seal and successful packaging.
Step 3: Allow the bag to rest for a few moments after sealing, so that the heated plastic can solidify and ensure a sturdy closure that will withstand subsequent handling.
Step 4: Visually inspect each sealed bag to check that the edges are securely closed and that no air leaks are visible.
Step 5: Carefully test the seal by exerting light pressure on the pouch to locate any air bubbles or leaks. If a problem is detected, repeat the sealing procedure.


By following these practical tips, you'll be able to take full advantage of the benefits vacuum bags have to offer, and make the most of them to suit your culinary needs. When it comes to using vacuum bags over and over again, you need to adapt:


●Vacuum bags can be reused after careful cleaning and disinfection, and under certain conditions. If the previous packaging contained a cooked food without a sauce or fatty marinade, the bag can be carefully cleaned, as they are generally designed to withstand this. For reasons of hygiene and performance, we advise you not to reuse the bag. The vacuum bag is a consumable product.


●On the other hand, if the bag contains raw food or food with a fatty sauce/marinade, we recommend that you consume it within a suitable timeframe, or discard it after use.

Frequently Asked Questions of Vacuum Package

Q: What does a food vacuum do?

A: It prevents the growth of spoilage bacteria. Vacuum packing food items prevents bacteria from growing, which, in turn, reduces spoilage of perishable food (foods that require cold storage and are not stable at room temperature for long).

Q: Are vacuum packed food safe to eat?

A: In the vacuum-packaged environment, food may become unsafe from pathogenic bacterial growth with no indicators to warn the consumer; the bacteria that would also normally be multiplying and spoil food in ways to make it unappealing (odor, sliminess, etc.) are not able to function without enough oxygen.

Q: How do food vacuum bags work?

A: After placing your food in a sealable bag, a vacuum sealer removes the air and leaves the item intact for long-term storage. If you're sealing an item that has juice you don't want to lose, it's important to freeze the food for a few hours, then seal it for the long haul.

Q: Is vacuum packaging worth it?

A: Vacuum sealers help food last for longer by removing the air around it, which makes them a handy option if you're shopping in bulk and want to store large portions of meat, fish, vegetables or pantry items. Packing food this way can also help to save on storage space in your pantry, fridge or freezer.

Q: What is the purpose of vacuum packaging?

A: Vacuum packaging refers to the technique of removing air from a pack prior to sealing and it predates the use of gases as a means of food preservation. Its principal purpose is to remove oxygen by pulling the packaging material into intimate contact with the product.

Q: What is vacuum packaging used for?

A: Vacuum packing reduces atmospheric oxygen, limiting the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi, and preventing the evaporation of volatile components. It is also commonly used to store dry foods over a long period of time, such as cereals, nuts, cured meats, cheese, smoked fish, coffee, and potato chips (crisps).

Q: What are the disadvantages of vacuum sealing food?

A: Some of the negatives include: Special bags required – Vacuum sealer appliances require special bags, and that expense can add up over time. Bags not reusable – Many of the required bags are not reusable. Therefore, it can get costly to buy a bunch of single-use containers, not to mention it's bad for the environment.

Q: How long does vacuum sealed food last?

A: However, with vacuum sealing, products like raw meat, chicken, lamb, beef, fish, and many more can be preserved for a longer time. These products normally have a lifespan of 6 months when frozen. When vacuum sealed, however, it can last for 2 to 3 years.

Q: Why do chefs vacuum pack food?

A: Vacuum pouches provide a barrier that prevents any of the flavour and juices from leaving the bag, meaning they are locked in (this is amplified even more if you cook the ingredient sous-vide).

Q: Is vacuum sealing food worth it?

A: Our answer is a qualified yes. If you buy in bulk, freeze small portions for meal prep or from a hunt, vacuum sealing is worth it. It helps prevent most food from going stale as quickly as it would in a non-airtight container, and it also helps prevent freezer burn, which affects taste and texture.

Q: Can bacteria grow in vacuum sealed meat?

A: It is known, however, that some other genera, such as Clostridium and Enterobacteriaceae, can multiply in vacuum-packaged meat causing deterioration and pack distension at refrigeration temperatures. These microorganisms have been the subject of many studies.

Q: Do you need to refrigerate vacuum sealed food?

A: The removal of oxygen from a food package does not eliminate microbial growth. Perishable (whether it is raw or cooked) meats and poultry in vacuum packaging cannot be stored at room temperature. They must be kept either in the refrigerator at 40 ºF or below, or for longer storage, in the freezer at 0 °F or below.

Q: Does vacuum sealing food prevent mold?

A: Buying meats in bulk, dividing into meal-sized portions and sealing allows you to have fresh meat on hand for up to 6 months. This leads to an incredible cost savings over buying your meat from the counter before every meal. Vacuum sealers preserve food by preventing the growth of mold or bacteria.

Q: Can you vacuum-seal cooked rice?

A: Frozen rice can be kept in the freezer for up to 6 months and still be tasty. After that it loses flavor and dries out but won't be unsafe to eat. An airtight container is your best defense against losing quality so vacuum sealing is great if you have that tool in your kitchen.

Q: Can vacuum sealed food go bad?

A: On average, vacuum sealed food stored in the freezer lasts up to 2 to 3 years. That's much better than storing it in other ways, which lasts an average of 6 to 12 months only. But food will still spoil; it does not prevent spoilage. Vacuum sealer manufacturers recommend that you do not package raw onions, fresh mushrooms or fresh garlic due to botulinum concerns.

Q: Is vacuum packaging sustainable?

A: Vacuum Bags are Biodegradable. Choosing vacuum seal bags that are eco-friendly is an important step in promoting a sustainable future for the planet. They are made from materials that can break down naturally and without leaving harmful residues behind.

Q: Can you vacuum seal cooked pasta?

A: You definitely can and should vacuum seal your pasta to ensure freshness and create more storage space in your kitchen. All you'll need is whatever pasta you want to seal, a vacuum sealer machine to remove the air, and vacuum sealer bags (be sure you have the right ones for your equipment).

Q: How do you reheat vacuum sealed food?

A: Using a Microwave. This is by far the quickest and most convenient method for reheating vacuum-sealed foods! Cut off one of the corners of the bag to allow steam to escape during the heating process. Pop the bag into the microwave and choose the appropriate heating option.

Q: Why you should never thaw frozen fish in its vacuum sealed packaging?

A: When vacuum-packaged fish is not properly stored and thawed, it has the potential to create a deadly toxin. Fish is a known source of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum type E. This bacteria is a spore former that can grow at temperatures above 38ºF and without oxygen – such as a vacuum package.

Q: How can you tell if vacuum sealed meat is bad?

A: If the seal on the package feels loose before you remove it, that's also a warning sign. Excessive juice in the package is, as noted, a potential breeding ground for bacteria. And most importantly, the texture is key: If your meat is slimy, it's a very bad sign.
