Increase Food Items Shelf Life With Oxygen Scavengers From: http://www.oxygen-absorbers.com /


What are Oxygen Absorbers/Scavengers? • Oxygen absorbers have wide usage in the food and beverage industry where it is employed to remove excess oxygen from food packages. • The presence of oxygen in packages/containers holding food items does not bode well for the latter.



Function of the Oxygen Absorber • The oxygen absorber sachet contains iron particles, which will react with the absorbed oxygen to form iron oxide. • Ideally, one needs at least 65% relative humidity in the atmosphere for the oxidation process to begin. • As the oxidation process continues, all the oxygen in the packages will be removed and come down to below 0.01%. • When all the oxygen has been taken in, the sachet gets “saturated” and will not be able to take in any more oxygen.


The Right Way of Using Oxygen Absorbers • First, one must keep all the jars/vacuum sealing bags in the table. • Next, with the help of gloves place all the food items, which are to be preserved, in the jars and vacuum bags. • The usage of gloves is recommended as it protects the food items against the illeffects of moisture and oils.
