Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and additive-free food options. This growing trend has put pressure on manufacturers to find innovative ways to preserve food without relying on artificial preservatives. Oxygen absorbers are emerging as a key technology in this pursuit, offering a natural and highly effective method for preventing oxidation and extending shelf life. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to contribute to this shift towards cleaner food preservation.

Oxidation is a natural chemical process that degrades food quality. It impacts the flavor, color, aroma, and nutritional content of many food items, leading to what consumers perceive as staleness or spoilage. For instance, the fats in nuts and baked goods are particularly susceptible to oxidative rancidity, which creates unpleasant tastes and smells. Preventing this process without artificial antioxidants is a significant challenge.

This is where oxygen absorbers excel. They work through a simple, safe chemical reaction, primarily involving iron powder. When exposed to air within a sealed package, the iron reacts with oxygen and moisture to form iron oxides. This process effectively removes oxygen from the packaging environment, reducing its concentration to minimal levels. The beauty of this method lies in its chemical nature rather than the addition of chemical substances directly into the food. It's a form of 'active packaging' that removes a detrimental element from the atmosphere surrounding the food.

By creating an oxygen-depleted environment, oxygen absorbers do more than just prevent rancidity. They also inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms, such as molds and bacteria, which are common causes of food spoilage. This dual action—preventing chemical degradation and inhibiting microbial growth—provides comprehensive protection for a wide range of food products, from dried fruits and candies to processed meats and baked goods.
