ACCORDING TO THE FDA: “LYOPHILIZATION" OR FREEZE DRYING IS A PROCESS IN WHICH WATER IS REMOVED FROM A PRODUCT AFTER IT IS FROZEN AND PLACED UNDER A VACUUM, ALLOWING THE ICE TO CHANGE DIRECTLY FROM SOLID TO VAPOR WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH A LIQUID PHASE. THE PROCESS CONSISTS OF THREE SEPARATE, UNIQUE, AND INTERDEPENDENT PROCESSES; FREEZING, PRIMARY DRYING (SUBLIMATION) AND SECONDARY DRYING (DESORPTION)” (FDA INSPECTION GUIDES, 7/93, UPDATED 2014). FREEZE DRYING TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE OF “SUBLIMATION,” THE DIRECT TRANSITION OF A SOLID TO A GAS, BY REMOVING ICE (THE SOLID) FROM FROZEN FOOD AS WATER VAPOR (A GAS). FOOD retains much of its original texture, flavor, and nutrition when rehydrated. Freeze drying is broken down into two simple processes: freezing and vacuum drying. Foods are first frozen to well below 0°F. The colder the freeze the more efficient the next step will be. Once frozen, foods are subjected to vacuum drying. The air and water vapor (gas) are removed from the food processing chamber using a vacuum pump. This includes removing the water vapor that was once inside of the foods. When these two steps are properly completed, the food is dry enough to allow for safe storage at room temperature.The preservation of food through oxygen removal is one of the most effective methods to extend shelf life, especially for long-term storage. The key to protecting food from oxygen, light, and other environmental factors lies in the combination of oxygen-barrier containers and oxygen absorbers, both of which help create an optimal environment for food storage. Here's a breakdown of how these methods work and how long they can protect your food:The Container: Protecting Against OxygenOxygen is one of the primary causes of food spoilage. It promotes oxidation, which leads to the deterioration of food quality (think of an apple turning brown or iron rusting). It also provides a medium for the growth of mold, bacteria, and insects. To prevent this, the choice of storage container is critical: Glass and Metal Containers: These are the best barriers to oxygen. Glass, especially Mason jars, have zero oxygen transmission, meaning they can protect your food indefinitely if sealed properly. Similarly, metal containers (like cans) can also block oxygen when sealed correctly. However, the seal must be intact, as any crack or break in the container will allow oxygen to enter. Mylar Bags: These are often used for long-term food storage because they have excellent oxygen barrier properties. Mylar bags are made from polyester that’s been metalized, giving them a low Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR). Depending on the quality of the metalization, Mylar bags can keep oxygen out for 25 years or more. High-quality options, like Century Mylar bags, can offer protection for up to 100 years. Plastic Bags: While plastics like PETE or HDPE are good options for medium-term storage, they are not as effective as glass or metal. They have a measurable Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR), which means oxygen will eventually seep through over time. However, thicker plastics (15 microns or more) can still be effective for certain storage periods.The Oxygen Absorber: Enhancing Long-Term StorageWhile the container helps block oxygen, oxygen absorbers are the critical tool that actively removes any oxygen inside the container, ensuring that the environment remains as oxygen-free as possible. Oxygen absorbers are small packets that contain substances that chemically react with and absorb the oxygen inside the container. How They Work: Once you seal your food in a container, the oxygen absorber will continue to absorb any residual oxygen inside, keeping the food in an anoxic (oxygen-free) environment. These absorbers don’t "expire" or lose effectiveness until they have absorbed their full capacity of oxygen. Therefore, if stored properly, they can last for many years and continue to protect the food until the absorber is full. Capacity: The size of the oxygen absorber should correspond to the volume of the container. A larger absorber will continue to remove oxygen for a longer time, even as air slowly seeps into the container. This is why using the right size oxygen absorber is critical for maintaining the anoxic environment.Light and Temperature: Additional ConsiderationsWhile oxygen is the main factor that impacts food quality, light can also affect the integrity of stored food over time. Light doesn’t contaminate food, but it can cause molecular breakdown, which may lead to degradation of flavor, color, and nutritional content. Light Exposure: In general, light will not spoil food, but it can affect its quality, especially for sensitive items like dehydrated fruits, grains, and some proteins. It’s ideal to store food in a dark, cool place to minimize the impact of light. Using Mylar bags or opaque containers helps block light from reaching the food. Temperature: The cooler the storage environment, the longer the food will last. Extreme heat can speed up the degradation process, even with oxygen barriers in place. Aim to store food in a cool, dry place with a consistent temperature, ideally between 50°F-70°F (10°C-21°C).How Long Will This Protection Last?With the right combination of containers and oxygen absorbers, food can be protected for decades or even longer:Mylar Bags with Oxygen Absorbers: When properly sealed, these can protect food for 25-100 years, depending on the quality of the Mylar and the oxygen absorber used.Glass Jars (e.g., Mason Jars): If properly sealed with a vacuum or airtight lid, glass jars can keep food safe indefinitely, as they are a perfect barrier to oxygen.Plastic Containers: These will protect food for a few years but are not ideal for long-term storage. The OTR of plastic is higher, meaning that oxygen can eventually penetrate the container and cause food degradation.Food Rotation and Best PracticesEven with high-quality packaging, food rotation is a good practice. It ensures that the food you store remains fresh and usable, and it prevents you from holding onto items that may have reached the end of their shelf life. A good rule of thumb is to rotate your food supplies annually by consuming the stored food and replacing it with fresh stock. This will help maintain the quality and nutritional value of your long-term food storage.ConclusionIn summary, using Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers offers exceptional long-term food storage protection, with the potential to last for decades or even a century. Glass containers provide airtight sealing and can store food indefinitely if the seal is intact. However, oxygen is the primary enemy of food, and with the right oxygen-barrier container and absorber, food can remain safe, fresh, and nutritious for years. Make sure to store in a cool, dark place and rotate your stock periodically for best results.
