VACUUM: LONG LIVE FOOD!
How many times did you open the fridge and found something going to waste? For sure the answer is “a lot” because not all the people have the possibility of buying fresh food every day.
The solution? Vacuum packing! It is able to preserve food 5 times longer!
This way of packing helps slowing down food deterioration as without air and oxygen the majority of the animlacules and bacterias can’t develop. For this reason, vacuum packing is the best combination between food taste and duration.
Don’t you believe in that?
Let’s have a look at the duration of each food type comparing it in two different preservation methods: normal and vacuum.
FRIDGE +3°/+5°
| FOOD TYPE | NORMAL PRESERVATION | VACUUM PRESERVATION |
| Raw meat | 2 days | 6-9 days |
| Raw fish | 1-3 days | 4-6 days |
| Fresh cheese | 5-7 days | 2-3 weeks |
| Medium matured cheese | 1 week | 1-2 months |
| Matured cheese | 2-3 weeks | 2-3 months |
| Fresh fruit | 5-10 days | 14-20 days |
| Fresh vegetables | 1-5 days | 7-20 days |
| Cold cuts | 4-6 days | 20-25 days |
| Cookes pasta | 2-3 days | 6-10 days |
| Cooked meat | 3-5 days | 10-15 days |
| Desserts | 2-3 days | 6-10 days |
ROOM TEMPERATURE +20°/+25°
| FOOD TYPE | NORMAL PRESERVATION | VACUUM PRESERVATION |
| Bread | 2 days | 8 gdays |
| Dried pasta-rice | 6 months | 1 year |
| Flour, tea, coffee | 4 months | 1 year |
FREEZER -18°/-20°
| FOOD TYPE | NORMAL PRESERVATION | VACUUM PRESERVATION |
| Meat | 4 months | 16 months |
| Fish | 3 months | 1 year |

It’s clear that in all the examined conditions (fridge, room temperature, freezer) all food types can take advantage from vacuum packing.
Particularly interesting are especially food types which will last only 1-2 days without this tecnique: instead of buying them fresh every day, the vacuum technique can triple their shelf life (for example for meat, fresh fish and bread)
Surprising results, aren’t they?
For these results it’s important to use high quality vacuum machines which are able to remove the air from the food containers (bags or hermetic containers).
