Vacuum Sealing Fruit and Vegetables

Freshly packed

Vacuum packing fruit and vegetables – with or without preservative gas – enables you to maintain freshness and extend the shelf life. This process goes further than just preservation; it opens the door to flavour retention, the optimisation of nutritional value and efficient storage. Vacuum packing is the key to healthy and tasty products. Vacuum sealing different types of fruit and vegetables together can affect their quality. Therefore, only package products from the same category together.

Which fruits and vegetables can be vacuum packed?

Vegetables

Hard vegetables can be vacuum sealed for a longer shelf life and protection from external factors. They can also be sliced and gas sealed.

Leaf vegetables

The shelf life of leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and endive can be easily lengthened by adding preservative gas.

Fruit

Professionally package all kinds of fruit by vacuum sealing. It is best to add preservative gas to sliced fruit to extend the shelf life.

Potatoes

More voluminous products such as bags of potatoes or chips can be easily packaged using vacuum sealing. For this we recommend a deeper vacuum chamber.

Advantages of vacuum sealing fruit and vegetables

Longer shelf life

The lack of air in a vacuum package slows down the ripening process of fruit and vegetables. This gives products a longer shelf life and prevents waste.

Preservation of freshness and flavour

Due to the absence of air in the packaging, products retain their freshness, texture and natural flavour. All moisture also remains in the product.

Retention of nutrients

Vacuuming sealing fruit and vegetables protects them against oxidation. Simply because oxygen is no longer in contact with the product. This ensures that essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals are better preserved.

Minimisation of freezer burn

If you want to freeze fresh products, vacuum sealing significantly reduces the formation of ice crystals. As well as extending the shelf life and retaining flavour, it also minimises the chance of freezer burn.

Useful portion packaging

Packaging portioned fruit is easy using vacuum sealing. It immediately protects your products from external factors, keeps them fresh and extends their shelf life.

Vacuum packaging fruit and vegetables

Vacuum packaging fruit and vegetables is a simple process with a vacuum machine. Prepare or portion your products, put them, chilled, in a vacuum bag and add seasoning or a marinade if required. Place the bag correctly in the machine, close the lid and initiate the correct program. When the vacuuming process is complete, and preservative gas has been added if desired, the chamber will refill with air and you can remove your products.
