The secret of coffee bean preservation
Coffee beans produce three times the volume of carbon dioxide after roasting, so the packaging of coffee mainly needs to deal with the carbon dioxide produced by coffee beans in addition to avoiding contact with air oxidation.
Gaseous packaging
In the most common packaging, beans and powder are packed in empty cans, glass, paper bags or plastic containers, and then sealed or sealed. Low preservation, and due to constant contact with the air, need to drink as soon as possible, drinking period is about a week.
vacuum packing
The packing container (can, aluminum foil bag, plastic bag) draws out the air from the container after filling the coffee. Although it is called a vacuum, it actually removes at most 90% of the air, and the surface area of the coffee powder is larger than that of the coffee beans, and even the remaining air can easily combine with the powder to affect the flavor.
Gas filling packaging
A pinhole is designed on the metal bag. After filling the coffee, inactive nitrogen is poured into the bag and the carbon dioxide pinhole is squeezed out. This method is more popular, but after all the gas is discharged, the oxygen is quietly drilled back into the bag from the pinhole. Gas absorbent packaging will be made of deoxidizer, decarbonization made of absorbent into the bag, the air in the package can be easily absorbed, and the carbonation produced by coffee can also be inhaled, but the aroma of coffee will also be sucked away is its disadvantage.
UCC Asia Rome Packaging
At present, it is the most ideal outer packaging of coffee, all in the shape of beans rather than powder. It is similar to the pinhole metal bag, except that the gas in the bag can be discharged through the pinhole, while the unidirectional piston can prevent the oxygen from entering the bag.
Immediately after the beans are roasted, the coffee manufacturers cool and pack the beans and pour nitrogen into the bag, which has discharged the gas from the bag. Although this kind of packing method is ideal, it is expensive in material and high in cost.
