Vacuum packing is a method of packaging that removes air from the package prior to sealing. It also increases the shelf life of food products. Here the product is placed in an air-tight pack, the air sucked out and the package sealed. By removing air from around the product, the levels of oxygen in the packaging are reduced, impeding the ability of oxygen-breathing microorganisms to grow and spoil the product. The lack of oxygen also reduces the amount of spoilage due to oxidation."

Vacuum Packing maybe done for dry grains and Indian Breads and some savouries, like Mathri, Chivda etc.
