Ukupakishwa kweVacuum yindlela yokupakisha esusa umoya kwiphakheji ngaphambi kokutywinwa.Le ndlela ibandakanya (ngesandla okanye ngokuzenzekelayo) ukubeka izinto kwiphakheji yefilimu yeplastiki, ukususa umoya ngaphakathi, kunye nokutywina ipakethe.Injongo yokupakisha i-vacuum ngokuqhelekileyo ukususa i-oksijini kwisitya sokwandisa ubomi beshelufu yokutya kunye, kunye neefom zephakheji eziguquguqukayo, ukunciphisa umthamo wezinto eziqulethweyo kunye nephakheji.
Ukupakishwa kwevacuum kunciphisa ioksijini yomoya, kuthintela ukukhula kwebhaktiriya ye-aerobic okanye umngundo, kwaye kuthintele ukuphuma komphunga kwezinto eziguqukayo.Ikwasetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo ukugcina ukutya okomileyo ixesha elide, okufana neecereals, amandongomane, inyama ephekiweyo, itshizi, intlanzi etshayiweyo, ikofu, kunye neechips zetapile (crisps).Kwisiseko sexesha elifutshane ngakumbi, ukupakishwa kwevacuum kungasetyenziselwa ukugcina ukutya okutsha, okufana nemifuno, inyama, kunye nolwelo, kuba kuthintela ukukhula kwebhaktiriya.
