MOISTURE REGULATION
Maintain an Optimal Moisture Balance
Controlling moisture levels is paramount for preserving food quality and safety. When food is improperly stored, two critical issues occur: excess moisture can lead to sogginess, encourage microbial growth, or cause damaging freezer burn. Conversely, moisture loss results in dehydration, staleness, and undesirable changes in texture and flavor.
The key to preventing these problems is utilizing an effective, airtight barrier. This storage method creates a stable environment that locks in the food’s natural juices and oils while simultaneously preventing external humidity from causing deterioration. By maintaining this optimal balance, meats remain tender, produce stays crisp, and dry goods keep their intended structure, significantly extending the shelf life and ensuring the best possible taste and quality of the preserved food.
