Either food or Cosmetics-Vacuum is in

In the packaging or food item manufacturing and packaging world, the biggest animal is the microbial attack.  If the edible product manufactured keeping in mind all its freshness and taste values in mind, and then packed but before reaching to the consumer it gets deteriorated by the microbes.  Mainly, the microbes such as fungi are found to settle on the humid or oily food or even dry as bread product.  If it happens, then not only the entire efforts of manufacturing it goes in vein, but also the loss of money and resources including the companies reputation in market.  Also, there are chances that if the air enters the packet or any how the packet get punchered, then the packed food may get oxidized which actually makes its tasteless and in rainy season the humidity enters the food which makes it unbearable to use.

But, there has to be a solution for dealing with all such problems.  The main problem comes in the case of tea and coffee packaging where the air has to be completely zero inside the packet otherwise there is a harmful effect to the packed product.  For this purpose, the vacuum packaging came into existence.  With its first step into the market, its popularity increases like a forest fire.  The basic reason behind it is, that vacuum is a place where there is no air.  It is completely airless and so the growth of microbes which is either aerobic or anaerobic growth is just impossible.  Thus, the product packed is just safe and healthy.  Also, the vacuum packaging helps in maintaining the taste and freshness of the food for a longer time.  But, the care has to be taken once the packet is opened because, after that the product is susceptible to the atmospheric air, humidity and microbes also.

Not only the food product, are even the cosmetic packaging nowadays making use of the vacuum in packing up their items.  Actually, the cosmetics items like, lips stick, mail polish, various types of powders and creams are basically not attacked by the microbes because they have chemical in them, but the factor that affects them the most is either atmospheric air, which can make them dry or even contamination with certain unwanted chemicals which can reduce its odor, effects and even make it harmful.  Mainly, plastic is used in cosmetic packaging which not only protects it from air, but also generates vacuum inside.  Along with that, the chemical help is also taken, which keeps the product as it is for a very longer time also in open air.
