Oxygen Absorber

Oxy-guard tm
oxygen scavengers prolong , shelf life and maintain freshness
oxy-guard™ packets maintain taste, texture and freshness while helping prevent the conditions that may cause mold, microbial growth and rancidity in packaged foods.
A method of active packaging, oxy-guard™ oxygen scavenging packets, also known as oxygen absorbers, absorb available oxygen inside food packaging to prolong shelf life, maintain product quality and reduce food waste.
Antioxidant preservatives are often added to food products to inhibit oxidation. Consumers, however, are demanding more organic, preservative-free foods, thus driving the need to address oxidation in the packaging rather than chemically within the food itself.
oxy-guardtm packets, have a high capacity for oxygen absorption. Oxy-guard can maintain an oxygen level of less than 0.01% inside a sealed package during the intended shelf life. This level is reached within 24 hours at normal temperature.
typical applications include:
‒ baked goods, breads, tortillas ‒ nuts
‒ dried grains ‒ pastas, beans and rice
‒ processed and dried meats ‒ coffee and tea
‒ chocolates and confectionery ‒ meals ready to eat (mres)
‒ cheeses and dairy products ‒ powdered proteinsbeverages
‒ pet foods and treats ‒ frozen pizzas and meals.
