The composition of the vacuum packaging machine: vacuum pump, motor, vacuum chamber, sealing strip, plexiglass plate cover, air bag, solenoid valve, etc.

1. Definition of vacuum packaging: Put the food into the packaging bag, and take out the air in the packaging bag to reach the predetermined vacuum degree, and then complete the sealing process.

Vacuum inflatable packaging is to put the food into the packaging bag, and the air in the packaging bag is taken out to a predetermined vacuum degree, and then filled with nitrogen or other mixed gas, and then the sealing process is completed.

2, the mechanism of action: the main role of vacuum packaging is to remove oxygen, in order to help prevent food spoilage, the principle is relatively simple, because food spoilage metamorphism is mainly caused by microbial activity, and most microorganisms (such as mold and yeast) The survival of the need for oxygen, and vacuum packaging is the use of this principle, the oxygen in the packaging bag and food cells are removed, so that the micro-objects lose the "living environment."

The experiment proves that when the oxygen concentration in the package is ≤1%, the growth and reproduction speed of microorganisms will drop sharply. When the oxygen concentration is ≤0.5%, most microorganisms will be inhibited and stop breeding. (Note: Vacuum packaging can not inhibit the deterioration and discoloration of food caused by anaerobic bacteria reproduction and enzyme reaction, so it needs to be combined with other auxiliary methods, such as refrigeration, quick freezing, dehydration, high temperature sterilization, irradiation sterilization, microwave sterilization, salt Pickling, etc.

In addition to inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, vacuum deoxidation is another important function to prevent food oxidation. Because oils and fats contain a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, they are oxidized by the action of oxygen, which makes foods taste and deteriorate. In addition, oxidation also makes Loss of vitamins A and C, unstable substances in food pigments are affected by oxygen, making the color darker. Therefore, oxygen scavenging can effectively prevent food from spoiling and maintain its color, aroma, taste and nutritional value.

The main function of vacuum air-packing is not only the anti-oxidation and quality-preserving functions of vacuum packaging, but also the functions of anti-pressure, gas-blocking and fresh-keeping. It can effectively maintain the original color, fragrance, taste and shape of food for a long time. Nutritional value.

In addition, there are many foods that are not suitable for vacuum packaging and must be vacuum-filled. Such as crispy and fragile foods, easy to agglomerate foods, easy to deform and oily foods, foods with sharp edges or high hardness will pierce the bags.

After the food is vacuum-inflated and packaged, the inflation pressure in the packaging bag is stronger than the atmospheric pressure outside the packaging bag, which can effectively prevent the food from being crushed and deformed without affecting the appearance and printing decoration of the packaging bag.

The vacuum inflated package is filled with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen single gas or a mixture of two or three gases after vacuum. The nitrogen gas is an inert gas, which acts as a filling to maintain a positive pressure inside the bag to prevent the air outside the bag from entering the bag, thereby protecting the food. Its carbon dioxide is soluble in various types of fat or water, and it is classified into weakly acidic carbonic acid, and has the activity of inhibiting microorganisms such as mold and bacteria. Its oxygen inhibits the growth and reproduction of anaerobic bacteria, keeps the freshness and color of fruits and vegetables, and high-concentration oxygen keeps fresh meats bright red.
