In today's clean label world, consumers expect transparency and purity in their food—especially when it comes to organic sauces. Gone are the days of preservatives, artificial additives, and flavor enhancers. However, with this shift toward clean and organic recipes comes a real challenge: how can manufacturers extend shelf life without compromising product integrity and food safety?
The Hidden Enemy in Organic Sauce Production: Air
Whether you're mixing a creamy, organic Alfredo sauce, a spicy chipotle sauce, or a tangy vinaigrette, there's a key issue that many manufacturers overlook—air.
During mixing, pumping, and pouring, air and gases inevitably enter the product, no matter how carefully the process is performed. This trapped air may seem harmless, but it becomes a serious shelf life issue due to:
• Oxidation – Air, especially oxygen, reacts with fats, oils and other organic compounds in sauces, causing rancidity, discoloration and undesirable flavors.
• Microbial growth – Oxygen creates an environment conducive to the growth of aerobic microorganisms, which can spoil the product more quickly and increase the risk of contamination.
• Poor package integrity – Trapped air causes foaming or bubbles during filling, which can affect net weight accuracy, seal strength and product appearance.
Natural Solution: Venting
Deaeration is a physical process that removes trapped gases and air bubbles from a product before packaging. This is especially important for organic and natural food processors who cannot rely on chemical preservatives to protect their products on the shelf.
PerMix Deaerators / Air Releasers are designed specifically for this purpose – helping organic sauce producers naturally extend shelf life.
