Vacuum Packaging and Food Safety
Vacuum packaging extends the life of foods by removing most of the air from sealed
containers and prevents fresh air escaping into the sealed containers, thereby reducing
oxidation. Vacuum packaging helps preserve flavor and overall quality. It also helps
inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms, which can lead to the problems noted
below under certain conditions:
Mold
– Mold cannot grow in a low oxygen environment; therefore vacuum packaging
can virtually eliminate it.
Yeast
– Results in fermentation, which can be identified by smell and taste. Yeast needs
water, sugar and a moderate temperature to grow. It can also survive with or without air.
Slowing the growth of yeast requires refrigeration, while freezing stops it completely.
