1. A filter for use in a vacuum food processor, the filter comprising:
a first filter part adapted to direct a suction airflow generated by a vacuum module of the vacuum food processor into the filter via an inlet channel; and
a second filter part adapted to coaxially fit with the first filter part and comprising a cavity, an inner surface of the cavity adapted to maintain non-gaseous substance that is moving along with the suction airflow inside the filter, wherein the first filter part and the second filter part jointly define an outlet channel at a bottom of the first filter part based on at least an associated meshing among a plurality of ribs from the first filter part and the second filter part, the outlet channel adapted to direct the suction airflow outside the filter.
