Some food types need to be stored in an airless environment, usually in airtight packaging to reduce the growth of microorganisms. When vacuum sealing, most of the bacteria is expelled from the bag as the air is removed, providing a very safe and hygienic method of storage.
Vacuum sealing also helps maintain the product quality and size. For example, in meat items such as steaks, the blood can’t leak out and the meat doesn’t dry out so the product weight is maintained. Vacuum packing food can extend its life by three to five times.
You’ll also need to vacuum seal ingredients before sous vide cooking. After all, that’s what sous vide means; ‘cooking under vacuum.’
Pre-prepared foods such as fresh or sliced meats, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruits, salads and cheeses can be stored for several days without reduced quality. By pre-portioning soups, sauces and completed dishes you can reduce food wastage. All these benefits help increase efficiency in the kitchen. Cooked and raw food can be hygienically stocked in vacuum pouches for storage in the fridge or easily transported between locations with minimal risks of cross-contamination.
In Short the main benefits of vacuum packing are:
- To eliminate oxidation
- In preparation for sous vide cooking
- To maintain natural moisture
- To prevent freezer burn
- To preserve delicate flavours & oils
