Oxygen-Proof Food Storage: Preserve, Avoid Oxidation, and Keep the Freshness Sealed
Oxygen-proof food storage is important in order to prevent food from spoiling, to make it oxygen-free, and to make it last longer. This is because oxygen is kept away from the food, which then stays free from oxidation, molds, and tastes good. It is particularly important for dry foods, dehydrated foods, and for storage in the long term.
EVOH is a very good oxygen barrier material which is widely used in food packaging owing to its good gas barrier performance. An oxygen proof food storage jar with an EVOH barrier could be a good option to improve the shelf life of the food product with minimal effect on the food quality. This content aims to discuss the advantages and design of such a jar with the help of examples, and how EVOH technology can improve food storage systems.
Why Is Oxygen-Proof Storage Important?
(Figure-2 Oxygen-Proof Food Storage)
Oxygen-proof storage is very important in order to keep the food fresh, to make it last longer, and to prevent it from spoiling. Oxygen brings about oxidation, which results in a rancid taste, loss of nutrients, and unpleasant taste. It also brings about the growth of bacteria and fungi, which makes the food unsafe for consumption.
Essential vitamins A, C, and E are easily destroyed by oxygen, so the food becomes less nutritious. When you use methods such as vacuum sealing or oxygen absorbers, food stays fresh, safe, and nutritious for longer. It minimizes losses, saves money, and is especially important for storing food for the long term, for emergency purposes, and when buying food in bulk.
The Different Uses of Oxygen-Proof Storage in the Food Industry and Packaging
(Figure-3 use of Oxygen-Proof Food Storage Jar)
Oxygen-proof storage is one of the most important aspects in the food industry that helps in preserving the quality of the food products until the end of their shelf life. The following are some of the main uses of oxygen-proof storage in food processing and packaging.
1. Normal Storage of Food and For Emergency Use
Oxygen proof packaging is crucial in the storage of food for future use, and this is why it is used in emergency and disaster management. Oxygen-free storage solutions are used by governments, humanitarian agencies, and survivalists in goods such as dried grains, freeze-dried meals, and canned foods. With bags that have oxygen absorbers and vacuum-sealed cans, food can last for 10–30 years with no quality loss.
Examples:
Emergency food kits (MREs, survival rations)
Freeze-dried and dehydrated foods for disaster relief
Military and space mission food supplies
2. Packaged and Processed Foods Sold to Consumers
(Figure-4 Oxygen-Proof Food Storage options)
Many food producers employ oxygen-proof storage to improve the shelf life of the product and its quality. Using MAP, vacuum sealing, and high barrier films, food can be protected from oxidation and microbial contamination.
Example:
Chips, crackers, and snack foods
Coffee beans and ground coffee
Powdered dairy products
3. Conservation of Meat, Seafood, and Poultry
Meat, seafood, and poultry are rich in protein and fat. Therefore, they are most short lived. Oxygen is known to accelerate the process of spoiling through the encouragement of bacterial growth and oxidation of the product, which results in discoloration and an unpleasant taste.
Examples:
Vacuum-packed fresh meats and fish
MAP packaged deli meats and processed seafood
Frozen meats in oxygen-proof pouches
4. Storage of Bakery and Confectionery Products
Baked goods and confectionery products, including bread, pastries, and chocolates, are likely to taste stale and wet Vacuum of vacuum sealing, oxygen absorbers, and high-help films assist in preserving the texture and taste of the product for longer periods.
Examples:
Pre packaged bread
Chocolates and candy bars
Vacuum-sealed cookie dough
5. Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Supplements
Oxidation can cause a reduction in the potency and efficacy of pharmaceutical and dietary products, which are also subjected to oxygen-proof storage. Protein powders, vitamins, and herbal supplements have to be packed in airtight containers to prevent them from coming into contact with moisture and oxygen.
Examples:
Protein powders in vacuum sealed jars
Herbal supplements
Fish oil and vitamin capsules
6. Packaging of Beverages
Wine, beer, fruit juices, and dairy products are highly sensitive to oxygen. Oxidation leads to spoilage, off flavours and reduced oxygen barrier bottle cans store product and keep it fresh and help in maintaining the product stability.
Examples:
Wine bottles with oxygen absorbing corks
Vacuum sealed coffee bags
Aseptic juice cartons with multi-layer barrier films
7. Pet Food and Animal Feed
Pet food and animal feed can be oxidized and spoiled. Oxygen proof storage ensures that the nutrients of the food are not lost and the feed is in the best condition to be consumed by our pets and livestock.
Examples:
Vacuum sealed pet food bags
Freeze dried raw dog food
Oxygen proof storage is an essential part of the packaging process in the food industry and thus plays a crucial role in helping industries achieve shelf stability, product quality, and reduced losses.
Materials Used for Oxygen Barrier in Food Packaging How to Select the Appropriate Material
(Figure-5 Material used in oxygen-proof food storage)
Oxygen proof packaging is crucial in the food industry to avoid oxidation, increase the shelf life of the food, and maintain the quality of the food. There are numerous materials used in developing good oxygen barriers and each of them is suitable for certain types of food packaging. Below are some of the most commonly used oxygen-barrier materials and their applications.
1. EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol)
EVOH is one of the most popular oxygen barriers used in food packaging. It is a good oxygen barrier and therefore ideal for use in packing perishable products like meat, dairy, and baby food. The only drawback of using EVOH is that it is sensitive to moisture and therefore used in combination with PE or PP in multilayer packaging to increase the durability and the barrier properties.
Traditional applications incorporate vacuum sealed bags, high barrier food trays, and aseptic cartons. Packaging with EVOH extends the shelf life of oxygen-sensitive foods in storage since it prevents spoilage and taste change.
2. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
PET is one of the most popular packaging materials used in the market which has a good oxygen barrier. It is used in beverage bottles, and food trays. It is usually metallized in the snack packaging to make it oxygen resistant and to prevent the development of taste.
3. Aluminum Foil
Foil aluminum is one of the best oxygen barriers available. It is impermeable to oxygen, moisture and light therefore it is recommended for packaging of high value and short shelf life products. It is used in multilayer packaging for coffee, chocolate and ready to eat meals.
4. Nylon (Polyamide)
Nylon is used in multilayer films for oxygen resistance and also for improved toughness. It is especially useful in vacuum sealed packaging to avoid punctures and to maintain an hermetic seal.
Packing of meat and seafood may incorporate nylon layers to increase the toughness while at the same time maintain the product’s freshness. Nylon is also used in frozen food bags to prevent freezer burn by not allowing oxygen to come into contact with the food.
5. Metallized Films (Metallized PET or PP)
Metallized films are aluminium coated low thickness films normally made from PET or PP. These films are usually used in packaging of snack foods, coffee, and candy.
These films aid in product quality by preventing oxygen which causes stale or rancid taste of the product. It also gives the packaging a shiny or reflective appearance that makes the packaging more attractive.
6. PE (Polyethylene) as a Protective Layer
Polyethylene (PE) is not a very good oxygen barrier, but it is used as the outermost layer in many layered packages. It gives the packaging flexibility, water resistance and hermetical sealing capability that are very important in high barrier food packaging.
How to Choose the Best Oxygen-Barrier Material
(Figure-6 Choose the Best Oxygen-Barrier Material)
The choice of the best oxygen barrier material depends on the kind of food to be packed, the shelf life that is desired and the conditions of storage. Oxygen sensitivities of various foods are different, and therefore packaging has to be adapted to the particular conditions of preservation.
A combination of EVOH, PVDC, or aluminum foil is usually the best for very short storage time products.
Shelf stable products like dry foods are adequately protected by packaging with metalized films or multilayer PET.
For beverages like coffee, soft drinks, and fruit juices, PET bottles with oxygen scavengers or aluminum capped cartons are suitable.
In general, the selection of the appropriate oxygen barrier material is a function of the oxygen transmission rate, food safety, cost, and environmental friendliness. Hence, proper packaging can help food producers to guarantee that their products are fresh, safe, and appealing to consumers.
Conclusion
Oxygen proof storage is an important aspect of food packaging to help industries in preserving the shelf life of food quality and also to avoid wastage. From short term emergency food storage to the daily used packaged foods, the different strategies, including vacuum sealing, modified atmosphere packaging, jars, and oxygen absorbers, are essential in keeping the food fresh.
