What are the benefits of using a nitrogen generator to fill food packaging?
With people's living standards improving day by day, the demand for food quality that sustains life is also increasing. Everyone hopes that the food they eat every day is fresh and delicious! However, some food packaging on the market is always unsatisfactory. A new type of nitrogen-filled packaging meets this need.
Filling the food packaging bag with nitrogen isolates food and fruits from direct contact with air, preventing oxidation, discoloration, decay, and damage from various molds and bacteria caused by direct contact between the atmosphere and various packaged foods, thus ensuring the freshness of the packaged food and extending its shelf life! This method, due to the special physical properties of nitrogen, is different from chemical preservation, so it will not leave any residue.
Currently, this packaging has been widely used in the packaging of various foods such as potato chips, meat, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and biscuits! The excellent packaging effect and the resulting economic benefits have been recognized by food producers and users. In the packaging of beverages and tea that people often use, a certain amount of nitrogen is added to isolate it from the air. The tea in this type of packaging remains vibrant in color and fragrant even after a year! Tea drinkers cannot distinguish between new tea and old tea? However, tea that has not been nitrogen-packed will turn yellow and black in a short time, and the taste is unpleasant... This example is sufficient to illustrate the extraordinary role of nitrogen in food packaging.
The role of nitrogen in food storage and transportation is even more amazing. Traditional grain storage uses chemical fumigation to prevent insect damage. However, nitrogen-filled storage is a purely physical storage method that leaves no residue, and since nitrogen is an inert gas, there are no hidden dangers. Therefore, this method is healthy, economical, and safe and reliable, achieving two goals at once. In the storage and transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables, when the temperature is adjusted to the optimal cold storage temperature suitable for the stored goods, the respiration rate of these stored goods will decrease, but they are still respiring, and some substances that can cause chemical changes are still undergoing chemical changes... What to do? Repeated practice has proved that filling the storage box with nitrogen to balance the carbon dioxide and oxygen, the stored goods will hardly show these phenomena. In comparison, the shelf life of nitrogen-filled storage is extended by at least ten months compared to unfilled storage. For easily perishable fruits such as apples, bananas, pears, and oranges, the effect of nitrogen storage is particularly significant. Compared with the economic and social benefits brought by the use of chemical preservatives, it is extraordinary. This method has been adopted by many manufacturers, merchants, and farmers at home and abroad. Nitrogen is used in the nitriding treatment of metals; nitrogen protection in the cable production process; applications in electronics, medicine, petrochemicals, etc., are numerous! Therefore, choosing a nitrogen generator not only provides you with high-purity nitrogen but also has a low nitrogen production cost, saving you a lot of costs, allowing you to recover your costs as soon as possible and obtain corresponding economic benefits!
