Why are bags of chips flushed with nitrogen gas?

Answered by admin @



Nitrogen is flushed in bags full of chips as it restricts the chips from oxidizing i.e. the part which makes the chips go stale.

Unlike oxygen which is quite reactive and combines with other molecules causing the chemical change, Nitrogen is nonreactive and quite stable.

So, nitrogen is good for storing foods.
