While nitrogen gas is commonly known for its applications in food preservation, it also plays a crucial role in ensuring the long-term quality of stored grains and seeds. At Airsurr Gas System, we offer nitrogen delivery systems that can be adapted to meet the specific requirements of grain and seed storage, enhancing their shelf life and protecting them from the harmful effects of oxygen and moisture.

Grains and seeds are valuable commodities that require proper storage to maintain their quality and prevent deterioration. Exposure to oxygen and moisture can lead to several issues, including mold, mildew, loss of germination potential, and reduced nutritional value. Nitrogen gas serves as a powerful tool to address these challenges.

While vacuum packing is an effective way to preserve grains and seeds, it may still leave a small amount of oxygen in the packaging. This is where nitrogen comes into play. By introducing nitrogen into the package before vacuum sealing, any residual oxygen is displaced, and the package is sealed, ensuring an oxygen-free environment. This process is particularly beneficial for delicate grains and seeds, as the cushioning effect of nitrogen helps prevent breakage during handling and transportation.

By eliminating oxygen, nitrogen helps prevent oxidation, which can cause grains and seeds to lose their nutritional value and develop off-flavors.

Nitrogen's low oxygen environment inhibits the growth of bacteria, molds, and fungi, thus reducing the risk of contamination and spoilage.

The absence of oxygen and moisture, coupled with the protective cushioning effect of nitrogen, significantly extends the shelf life of grains and seeds.
