Oxygen Absorbers for Food Storage
Our oxygen absorbers consist of an air proof package holding either 100ea 100cc oxygen absorber packets or 300ea 300cc oxygen
absorber packets or 30ea 2000cc (For 5- Gal Pails & 20 x 30 Mylar Bags).
Once it is opened, the unused packets must be resealed immediately or put in another air tight package. (.See our KF-150CST Sealer )
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 Oxygen Absorbers ?
•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.
•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
•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 sauces
Typical Applications for Oxygen Absorbers:
•Breads, cookies, cakes, pastries
•Nuts and snacks
•Candies and confectioneries
•Coffee and tea
•Whole fat dry foods
•Processed, smoked and cured meats Cheeses and dairy products
•Dried fruits and vegetable
•Spices and seasonings
•Flour and grain items
•Fresh and precooked pasta and noodles
•Pharmaceuticals and vitamins
•Medical diagnostic kits and devices
What is the difference between Oxygen Absorbers & Desiccants :
Oxygen Absorbers absorb Oxygen from dry foods such as wheat,rice, dry beans:
Desiccants absorb MOISTURE from sealed bags where corrosion or moisture is a problem: ie: Pharmaceutical
Products, Electronics

Q - What is a mylar ? A - "Mylar" is a trade name for BoPET (Biaxially-oriented polyethylene
terephthalatea). Mylar or BoPET is simply a polyester film material that looks like foil.
Q - What are Mylar bags used for? A - Mylar bags are used to protect food against oxidation and
aroma loss, achieving long shelf life.
Q - How and why is an Oxygen Absorber used? A - An oxygen absorber is used in mylar bags to
prolong the shelf life. They prevent food color change, stop oils in foods from becoming rancid, and
also retard the growth of oxygen-using aerobic microorganisms such as fungi..
