Nitrogen Plant Benefits for Organic Food Packaging
Nitrogen is a safe, clean, and effective packaging solution for organic foods. It maintains product quality, extends shelf life, and complies with organic food regulations without compromising organic principles.
Typically following products are packaged with Nitrogen :
· Organic nuts and seeds
· Dried fruits
· Coffee
· Leafy greens
· Snack foods (like organic chips or popcorn)
· Fresh meat or dairy (less commonly, but applicable)
Why Nitrogen ?
As a component of Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), nitrogen is frequently utilised in organic food packaging. While there are ample of reasons for selection nitrogen gas for food packaging, following are the primary reasons for nitrogen use –
- Maintaining Freshness
- Inert atmosphere: Nitrogen doesn't react with food because it is an inert gas. This lessens the chance of oxidation and spoiling, which makes fats and oils rancid.It slows down enzymatic activities and microbiological development by dislodging oxygen.
- Extension of Shelf Life
- The shelf life of organic items (such as grains, nuts, leafy greens, and snacks) can be greatly increased without the use of preservatives by substituting nitrogen for the oxygen inside the packaging.
- Avoiding Package Collapse
- Packaging can remain "puffed" without the need of chemical additives thanks to nitrogen. This keeps fragile things from being crushed while being transported, such as chips or leafy greens.
- Preservation of Organic Wholeness
- Since nitrogen is a non-additive and does not change the composition of food, it does not affect the meal's organic certification. When used properly, they are approved by organic standards organisations like USDA Organic.
