Oxy Absorbers For Cheeses and Dairy Products

What are Oxygen Absorbers?

Oxygen Absorbers removes oxygen from sealed environment, and creates a nitrogen environment for long-term food storage. Oxygen absorber is usually a formulated chemical packaged that is obtainable in exact sealed and sized space eliminating important amount of oxygen when applied in a given function. They are extremely capable materials that are used to absorb the oxygen from the distinctive air also extend the lifespan of the food products.


 

How do oxygen absorbers work?

Oxygen absorbers carry out their action through a reaction of chemical. They have iron powder that mixes and reacts with the oxygen in the air making the iron powder to rust. When all the iron powder has corroded, the oxygen absorbers are full and the absorbing steps are stopped.

Four reasons that causes food storage

• Temperature
• Moisture Content
• Container Atmosphere
• Storage Container

Oxygen absorbers extends shelf life

Designed mainly to extend the shelf life of food with oxy absorbers helps to prevent the change and modify of color in food products it also stop oils in foods from becoming stale, and stops the growth of oxygen-using aerobic bacteria like fungi. Thus the oxygen in the packaging is very much minimized. The oxygen level goes down reliably to .01% or less than this. In this way it extends the shelf life of food and dairy products.

About Dairy products storage life

Dehydrated Dairy Products usually store very nicely if they are stored dry in hermetically sealed containers along with the oxygen when it is removed. Plan on a storage life of fifteen years if they are stored at a steady temperature of 60 or 70 degrees F. They must be kept proportionately for a longer time if stored at cool temperatures.

 

Advantages

• It helps in extending shelf life

• It also prevents growth of spoilage organisms and aerobic pathogens including molds

• Eliminates the requirements for additives such as BHT, BHA, sulfur dioxide, benzoates, sorbates and many more.

• It can be used with or without vacuum or gas flushing packaging to soak up almost all oxygen and soak up any oxygen that may infuse the package

• It is obtainable in fan-folded or spool for automatic dispensing

• Oxygen Absorbers increases constancy in oxygen responsive compounds

• however, these oxygen absorbers are available in many sizes that fit a large number of  storage containers with unsteadiness capacities.

• These are the packets which are manufactured and designed in such a way that it tends to change its color.
