Vacuum packing

Let food Be thy medicine & medicine thy food - Hippocrates WikiMD is the world's largest free food, medicine & wellness encyclopedia.

Vacuum packing is a similar process to canning but laminated plastic or nylon pouches are used instead of tin cans. The vacuum packs can be sterilised after they have been heat sealed or the food can be sterilised then aseptically filled into vacuum packs which are then aseptically heat sealed. The pouches are usually sterilised by radiation before being aseptically filled.
