Are vacuum glass food containers suitable for all types of food?

Vacuum glass food containers are a modern food storage container that has the functions of preservation, antiseptic, and heat insulation. However, whether it is suitable for all types of food is still a controversial issue. In this article, I will explore the advantages and limitations of vacuum glass food containers and discuss whether they suit all types of food.

First, we need to clarify what vacuum glass food containers are and how they work. Vacuum glass food containers are a kind of container that uses transparent glass material to extract the internal air by vacuuming to form a negative pressure environment, thereby achieving a sealed preservation of food. In this negative pressure environment, the growth of bacteria and the oxidation process of food are greatly slowed down, so the shelf life of food can be effectively extended while maintaining the color, taste, and nutritional content of food.

Scope of application:

Dry food: For dry food such as grains, nuts, etc., vacuum glass food containers are a very ideal choice. Since these foods are mainly affected by oxidation and moisture, the vacuum environment can effectively isolate the air and prevent food from moisture and oxidation.

Meat and seafood: For foods that are easy to spoil, such as meat and seafood, vacuum glass food containers also perform well. In a vacuum state, the growth of bacteria is inhibited, which can effectively extend the shelf life of these foods.

Fruits and vegetables: You need to be a little careful when using vacuum glass food containers to store fruits and vegetables. Because some fruits and vegetables release ethylene gas during storage, which accelerates ripening or even rots, it is recommended to pre-cool such foods before placing them in vacuum glass containers, and then adjust the use according to the actual storage effect.

Ready-to-eat foods: Vacuum glass food containers can effectively maintain freshness and taste for ready-to-eat foods that have been cooked. It should be noted that foods with more water may evaporate more water during vacuum storage, affecting the taste.

Unsuitable use situations:

Fermented foods: For foods that need to be fermented, such as yogurt, kimchi, etc., the vacuum environment will inhibit the activity of microorganisms, thereby affecting the normal fermentation process of the food. Therefore, such foods are not suitable for storage in vacuum glass food containers.

High-sugar or high-water foods: Some high-sugar or high-water foods may be more likely to deteriorate in a vacuum environment, especially under high-temperature conditions, so such foods should be stored with caution in vacuum glass containers.

Precautions

Correct use: When using vacuum glass food containers, correct operation is very critical. Ensure that the sealing performance of the container is good to avoid poor preservation effects caused by improper sealing.

Regular inspection: Even if it is vacuum stored, it is necessary to check the status of the food regularly, consume it in time, or replace the food that is not suitable for storage.

Cleaning and maintenance: Keeping the container clean is an important measure to ensure food safety and extend the service life of the container. It should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after each use to avoid bacterial growth.

In summary, vacuum glass food containers are suitable for many types of food due to their superior preservation effect, but not for all foods. When using, it is necessary to consider the characteristics and storage conditions of the food and choose a reasonable storage method. By using vacuum glass food containers scientifically and rationally, we can not only better preserve food but also bring a healthier and more convenient life experience to the family.

As a vacuum glass food container enterprise, we are committed to providing high-quality, safe, and reliable products to meet consumers' needs for food storage and preservation. We not only focus on the design and manufacture of containers but also focus on product innovation and functionality to provide a better use experience.
