josie bought some frozen meat in a vacuum - sealed package. what is one of the main reasons the manufacturer used this packaging?
a. the sealing helps prevent oxidation from occurring.
b. the packaging helps preserve the flavor of the meat.
c. this type of packaging is more biodegradable than other packaging techniques.
d. this packaging helps keep more of the nutrients in the meat.

Explanation:

Vacuum - sealed packaging removes air from the package. Oxygen in the air can cause oxidation of the meat, leading to spoilage and a change in flavor and quality. By preventing air (and thus oxygen) from reaching the meat, oxidation is inhibited.

Answer:

A. The sealing helps prevent oxidation from occurring.
