superb shelf-life extension
Oxygen Absorbers do not work like typical desiccants – instead of absorbing moisture, it reduces oxygen levels inside the package, effectively slowing down the processes that lead to food spoilage, such as mold growth, bacterial proliferation, and rancidity which is known as oxidation. The removal of oxygen boosts shelf life and preserve quality significantly.
food quality preservation
The process of oxidation can cause a few significant problems in food – causing the loss of aroma/flavor, nutritional value and color changes. By removing oxygen from the equation using oxygen absorbers, we effectively preserve the quality of the food without utilizing other preservatives or chemical intervention as we have created a hostile environment for most bacteria.
Aerobic microorganisms, which require oxygen to survive, cannot thrive in an oxygen-free environment as well. Oxygen absorbers create this environment, preventing mold and bacterial growth.
maintaining nutritional value
When certain perishables start to degrade, their nutritional values drop – or even undergo some chemical reactions that may lead to harmful chemicals. Oxygen absorber prevents this from happening by reducing the chance of oxidation happening inside the sealed packet, protecting not only the product, but also the consumer.
For instance, crucial vitamins like Vitamin A, C and E will degrade when exposed to oxygen. Oxygen absorbers will protect them from harm.
eliminating chemical preservatives
With a natural approach towards preservation, there no longer is a need for chemical preservation to be used in your food. Whilst chemical preservatives are largely deemed to be safe in normal doses, it has caused a significant fear towards preserved products due to its unknown health-related side effects. Oxygen absorbers do not rely on special chemicals, but rather depleting the pack from oxygen, achieving its preservation power. It’s 100% natural and safe.
ease of use
Oxygen absorbers are packed and tightly sealed in their own packaging. To use them, you simply just need to:
- Prepare a clean and dry container that can tightly seal your content.
- Take one oxygen absorber and put it within your container. It should start performing immediately.
- Tightly seal the lid so no extra oxygen can enter the container. Once you find them hard and lumpy? They are through – and you can just easily discard them.
