Subject: O2 Absorbent
I’m thinking seriously about buying some O2 absorbing sachets, which seem to be based on powdered Fe, to try to increase the package/bottle life of foods and wines.
Anyone here played around with them much?
The advertisements claim:
What Do Oxygen Absorbers Do?
When used with proper packaging and sealing, the oxygen in the packaging is greatly reduced. Our absorbers bring the oxygen level down reliably to .01% or less.
What Are The Benefits Of Using Them?
Extends shelf life Prevents growth of aerobic pathogens and spoilage organisms, including molds Eliminates the need for additives such as BHA, BHT, sulfur dioxide, sorbates, benzoates, etc Use with gas flushing / vacuum packaging to absorb virtually all oxygen and absorb any oxygen that may permeate the package.Benefits:
Significantly improves keeping qualities of polyunsaturated fats and oils Helps retain fresh-roasted flavor of coffee and nuts Prevents oxidation of spice oleoresins present in spices themselves and in seasoned foods Prevents oxidation of vitamins A, C and E Extends life of pharmaceuticals Inhibits mold in natural cheeses and other fermented dairy products Delays non-enzymatic browning of fruits and some vegetables Inhibits oxidation and condensation of red pigment of most berries and saucesTypical Applications:
