Summary
Sous vide food preservation is a method of keeping food fresh for months. Students learn about the machines and techniques used for this process.
Food Packaging Machines
Different machines are used for packing various types of food. Vacuum packing is useful for foods that spoil easily, like processed meat. Other machines include cookie packaging, bagging and accumulation machines.
Vacuum Packaging
Vacuum packaging removes air from the packaging to extend food's shelf life. It is widely used in the food industry. It can also reduce the weight of non-food items and waste.
Sous Vide Packaging
Sous vide packaging replaces air with an inert gas to preserve food. It uses sealers to secure the packaging. This method keeps food fresh for up to eight months.
Packaging Materials
Various materials are used for sous vide packaging. These include airtight containers, mason jars and plastic totes. They are safe for home use.
