CONT

Dehydration is one of the easiest forms of food preservation. During dehydration the moisture is evaporated from the food, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and bacteria. The air inside the dehydrator is heated; it dries and circulates the air so that it absorbs the moisture from food placed in the drying chamber. The air temperature is low enough to dry the food, it does not cook the food. Dehydration is one of the least damaging forms of food preservation, most nutrients and vitamins remain unaffected by the dehydration process. Some foods, fruits for example, taste sweeter because the water is removed and the sugar is more concentrated.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
DEF

A vacuum packaging machine which vacuum form-fills and seals containers with food products in plastic bags under a special pressure chamber.

CONT

A wide range of equipment is now available for vacuum packaging of non-rigid containers. The most highly developed are those which permit of a fully automatic operation, involving pocket forming from reel-fed material, filling and vacuum sealing. For dealing with pockets filled separately, a number of vacuum-sealing machines are available. These may be of the chamber or probe type. With the former, the pocket is placed into the chamber, air withdrawn from both the chamber and pocket, and the pocket sealed in situ by remotely controlled heat-sealing jaws before the chamber pressure is returned to atmospheric.

OBS

Chamber vacuum-packaging machinery includes single- and double-chamber as well as a conveyor-fed system.
