Vacuum sealers protect
perishable foodstuffs from degradation by oxygen. The foods’ freshness and
flavor are extended for a longer time. The available types of vacuum sealers
are external vacuum sealers and chamber vacuum sealers. For the chamber sealers, an enclosed chamber
is used; the lid closes automatically and begins the process of sealing.
External
vacuum sealers:
It is the common
type of commercial vacuum sealers
that is used in homes. Many manufacturers make this sealer, with the common
brand being food-saver. It’s a clamp-style where the open end of the vacuum
sealing bag is placed in a tray and the lid is shut. Through the open end, the
machine releases the air from the bag. Due to this property, liquids cannot be
vacuum sealed. Moreover, special bags with texture are used to draw the vacuum.
Chamber
vacuum sealers:
Here, the whole
bag that is kept in the vacuum sealing machine with the lid is lowered down.
The sealing machine takes out all air that is inside the chamber. After
completion of the vacuum cycle, the bar comes up and seals the bag. Since there
is no sucking at the open end, liquid foods like soups and stews can be sealed.
In addition, a wide range of flat chamber vacuum bags should be used with the
external vacuum machine.
