5 Things To Know About Nitrogen Flush Packaging | Solos Polymers
An appropriate packaging gas is required to store and transport sensitive products such as food. A modified atmosphere environment that inhibits unwanted chemical reactions such as oxidation and food spoilage can help you in achieving a better shelf life of the food products. But, the question that stands here is which gas can be flushed for food packaging? Here is where nitrogen steps in! You must be thinking why only nitrogen? It is because the main component causing food spoilage and oxidation is oxygen. If oxygen is flushed into any of the packaging then the food inside will undergo chemical reactions that will directly affect the flavor and texture of the packaged item. Moreover, nitrogen acts as an antioxidant component which means it can prevent food from undergoing chemical reactions and various climate changes. Nitrogen flushed packaging is the process of filling nitrogen gas in the pack instead of oxygen to meet advantages like high-quality food for a long d...
