Types of 3-sided seal bags for probiotics in aquaculture

Probiotics for farmed fish and shrimp are beneficial bacteria commonly added to aquaculture systems to help support health, performance, and growth. Therefore, packaging to protect probiotics used in aquaculture is a matter of concern.

What are probiotics used in aquaculture?

The term probiotics are generally defined as bacteria that are beneficial to the host. According to Fuller (1989), a probiotic is a live microbial feed supplement that has a beneficial effect on the host by improving the microbial balance in the host’s intestinal tract. In aquaculture, probiotics are often used as a means of disease control, supplementing with antibacterial agents, etc.

Benefits of using complex packaging for probiotics

Flexible packaging was developed to meet the high requirements of consumers, connected among other things with an extension of shelf life of products, improvement of its organoleptic attributes, and protection.
The oxygen level throughout the storage of the product should be as low as possible to avoid toxicity and death of the microorganism and consequent loss of functionality of the product.
Active packages with incorporated oxygen barrier materials or films with selective permeability properties also have potential applications in the packaging of probiotic products. Oxygen toxicity is considered a significant factor influencing the viability of probiotic bacteria.

3-side-seal bags are an excellent option for probiotic products because they are manufactured with multiple laminated layers, they have many benefits, such as:

• Shipping friendly: Flexible packaging is lightweight, making it affordable to distribute domestically and internationally. A rigid counterpart could weigh up to 70% more, a costly option especially for small product runs.
• Less wasteful: Flexible packaging uses significantly less plastic than rigid containers on average, providing an economical alternative that contains less waste.
• Appealing to consumers: Flexible packaging attracts consumers because it has great shelf appeal and often an eye-catching billboard effect. A stand-up pouch, for example, draws immediate attention and engages shoppers.
• Product protection: Flexible packaging often incorporates barrier material that blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, moisture, grease, contamination, and oxygen.
