VACUUM PACKAGING IN THE FOOD SECTOR
With the vacuum packaging two main results for better preservation are achieved :
-
no air in the packaging bag
-
reduction of air in the product to be preserved
Thanks to vacuum packaging the product does not oxidize and does not decompose and can be preserved
longer.
The preservation time can be enhanced by combining a freezing process with the vacuum process.
In this case the results are exceptional.
USING IN CATERING AND RESTAURANTS
Preparation of dishes in restaurants during peak hours is critical. During these hours all working plans of the
restaurant have to be overruled. In these circumstances the prepared dishes normally suffer poor quality.
Vacuum packaging represent an important aid for the restaurants and the chef. In fact the preparation of
juices, sauces and other products frequently used in kitchens can be done in advance and the products can
be stored "ready to use".
VACUUM PACKAGING AND PRE-COOKED FOOD
During the cooking process the food gets in contact with the air and partially oxidizes, thus losing taste and
part of the nutrient properties.
Cooking the food in vacuum packaging eliminates this trouble because the product is protected in a heat-
resistant bag and therefore maintains its organolectic properties.
VACUUM COOKING
In Italy as well as in France and in Germany the vacuum packaging of previously cooked food is becoming
more and more normal practice.
In this way the taste and the nutrient characteristics of the food can me preserved satisfying every
requirements (also during peak hours in restaurants).
Heating up the vacuum packaged product at the desired temperature is all that is required.
VACUUM PACKAGING AND SLAUGHTERING
One of the major problems of the slaughtering process is the maturing (seasoning) of the meat that normally
takes place in refrigerated rooms. This operation involves loose of weight due to the oxidization process and
superficial drying of the meat.
With the vacuum packaging the maturing process of the fresh meat becomes longer, the meat remains
tender and taste is better. Thanks to the absence of air in the bag, vacuum packaged meat looks better and
does not decompose.
VACUUM PACKAGING AND RETAIL STORES
Thanks to the type of package, the extended preservation time and the perfectly hygienic conditions, the
vacuum packaged products are very well seen and accepted by the consumers.
