What is an oxygen absorber?

Oxygen absorbers are typically a combination of powders packaged in capsules or packets and are used to absorb oxygen from the surrounding environment.

How do oxygen absorbers work?

Most oxygen absorbers tend to combine iron powder with various other substances, like activated carbon. In these mixtures, the iron powder will react with the oxygen in a space to create iron oxide (rust) in the absorber package, effectively trapping oxygen molecules. Oxygen absorbers do not release any harmful gases or toxic elements and FDA approved.

Benefits Of Using Oxygen Absorbers

Oxygen absorbers help prevent oxidation and degradation to products or items due to oxygen. As a result, oxygen absorbers are useful for:

  • Extending product shelf life
  • Retaining flavors of ingredients and freshness in foods
  • Delaying browning of fruits and vegetables
  • Preventing oxidation of vitamins
