Oxygen Absorbers in food storage

Unlike desiccants, Oxygen absorbers have not been around forever, but like desiccants they are now widely recognized by industry and the military as the best way to maintain shelf life stability in food and for long periods of time.

The chart below illustrates the efficacy of the three most widely used methods of food preservation.

Packaging Method        Results Benefits
Oxygen Absorbers Reduces and maintains oxygen content in          packaging to below 0.01%

Eliminates aerobics microbial growth and     oxidative chemical  reactions in packaging

Vacuum & Back Flush Achieves as little as 0.1% residual oxygen Controls aerobic microbial growth                  temporarily*
Gas Flushing Achieves approximately 0.5% to 5% residual oxygen Provides some control of aerobic microbial growth*  

*Mold has been shown to grow in 20 days at 25 deg C at 0.2% residual oxygen (From "Techniques for the preservation of food by employment of an oxygen absorber," Nakamura and Hoshino, 1983)

Use the chart below to determine which Oxygen Absorber is best for your application.
