Keeping Fruits Fresh as the day one

Oxygen Absorber Sachet

Oxygen is often recognized as one of the main factors contributing to the spoilage of food products such as dried fruits and vegetables, medicines, vitamins, and even non-food items. It can directly and indirectly affect the quality of products. For example, oxygen creates favorable conditions for the growth of a wide range of bacteria, molds, insects, and pests. Additionally, this gas can have detrimental effects on various chemical processes, from the degradation of pigments to the reduction of nutritional value, ultimately leading to a significant decline in product quality. Oxygen also accelerates the oxidation process in products containing a significant amount of oil, resulting in a bitter taste, rancidity, and unpleasant odor. Oilseeds such as peanuts, walnuts, and almonds are examples of such products.

Our oxygen absorber sachet, utilizes atmosphere modification technology to optimize oxygen absorption within the packaging. This extends the shelf life and preserves the freshness and nutritional value of the products until consumption. The oxygen absorber sachet is suitable for use in processing units, medical packaging facilities, exporters, sorting centers, grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, and household applications.

This product is known globally as an Oxygen Absorber and is available in sachet form in various dimensions and weights for customer convenience.

Applications

To calculate the required amount of oxygen absorber in a packet or container, you need to know the volume of the packet or container, the type of product being packaged, and the desired oxygen level inside the packaging. Follow the steps below: 1. Determine the volume of the packet or container in cubic centimeters. You can measure the length, width, and height of the containers and multiply them together. 2. If the packaging does not have specific dimensions, weigh the empty package first, then place it in a water-filled container and weigh the displaced water. Use the following formula to calculate the amount of oxygen: Oxygen (cc) = Volume of packaging (cc) x (Desired oxygen level - Ambient oxygen level) / (100 - Ambient oxygen level) Note that the ambient oxygen level is approximately 21%
