Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/18/2018 -- Oxygen scavengers are also called oxygen absorbers. They are generally used in packaging to help remove or decrease the level of oxygen in packages. Oxygen scavengers help maintain the quality of the product by ensuring its safety and extending its life. A number of oxygen scavengers are used in applications such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, power, oil & gas, chemicals, etc.. Organic and inorganic are the two common grades of oxygen scavengers that help reduce the level of oxygen in water. This aids in decreasing the accelerated corrosion caused by the presence of oxygen in a high heat environment. Grades of oxygen scavengers differ based on effectiveness, temperature ranges, cost, reaction time, and type of application. Initially, sulfite and hydrazine were principal materials used to protect boiler systems from oxygen. However, hydrazine was identified as a suspected carcinogen in many countries. Therefore, manufacturers adopted oxygen scavengers as a substitute for hydrazine. Oxygen scavenger chemicals are added to boilers or condensate to remove residual dissolved oxygen.

Oxygen scavengers play an important role in food preservation. Many foods are sensitive to oxygen. Oxygen is responsible for the deterioration of many food products either directly or indirectly. Food deterioration is caused by oxidation reactions or by the presence of spoilage aerobic microorganisms. Therefore, in order to preserve these products, oxygen is often removed. The presence of oxygen in food packages is primarily due to failures in the packaging process such as presence of a mixture of gases containing oxygen residues or inefficient vacuuming. Vacuum packaging has been widely used to eliminate oxygen in packages prior to sealing. However, the oxygen that permeates from the outside environment into packages through the packaging material cannot be removed with the help of oxygen scavengers. The demand for oxygen scavengers in food and beverage industry is witnessing a rise as they provide protection from various microorganisms, spoilage, color & nutrient loss, and rancidity of food. Oxygen scavenger technology is based on oxidation or a combination of components such as iron powder, ascorbic acid, photosensitive polymers, enzymes, etc. These compounds are able to reduce the levels of oxygen to below 0.01%, which is lower than the levels typically found in conventional systems of modified atmosphere, vacuums, or substitution of internal atmosphere for inert gas.
