Better preservation
Maintains the taste, colour and texture of your products for longer.
D-OX Oxygen Absorbent for Food Preservation.
An oxygen absorber is a small sachet containing a granulate with a mixture of different compounds, including iron, covered by a specialised paper that is water, dust and grease resistant and permeable to oxygen. Iron in contact with moisture and oxygen forms iron oxides, consuming oxygen as a result of the chemical
reaction itself. As a result of this reaction, the environment has an oxygen
concentration of less than 0.1%. The absorption process stops when all the iron dust has been oxidised.
The chemical reaction can be seen below:
3Fe + 4O2 + 6H2O -> 2Fe3O4 + 6H2
We preserve the taste, texture and nutritional properties of your products while extending their shelf life.
