How does an Oxygen Absorber work?

Oxygen Absorbers trigger an oxidation reaction when exposed to air, causing the iron powder inside to rust and trap oxygen. They function like sponges but for oxygen instead of moisture. Once full, they must be replaced to maintain an oxygen-free environment. Unlike desiccants, which absorb moisture, Oxygen Absorbers specifically remove oxygen.

What is an Oxygen Absorber?

Oxygen Absorbers (or scavengers) are small packets containing iron powder and other ingredients that react with oxygen to form iron oxide, effectively removing oxygen at a molecular level. Available in various sizes, they absorb oxygen until full. By eliminating oxygen, they extend food shelf life, preventing spoilage, mold growth, and oxidation—ideal for storing grains, dried ...

Why should I use Oxygen Absorbers in food storage?

Oxygen Absorbers help preserve food by: • Preventing mold and bacterial growth by removing oxygen. • Extending the shelf life of dried foods, grains, and powders. • Maintaining freshness, flavor, and texture by preventing oxidation. • Protecting against insect infestations (bugs cannot survive without oxygen). Using Oxygen Absorbers in Mylar bags, mason jars, and vacuum-sealed ... Read more
