Description
Vacuum-sealing removes oxygen to prevent bacterial growth and spoilage, extending meat's shelf life.
Technical
The process involves sealing meat in airtight containers or bags, removing oxygen and preventing the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, thus extending the shelf life of meat by 2-5 times compared to traditional storage methods. Optimal storage temperature for vacuum-sealed meat is between 32°F and 40°F (0°C and 4°C).
