Composition of Air
Oxygen makes up approximately 21% of the air in the atmosphere and it is crucial to all creatures. However it can also support the growth of fungi and micro organisms which can made the food unfit to eat

OXYGEN ABSORBER
Oxygen Absorber (iron type) is a specially treated iron powder. When iron rusts, it absorbs oxygen in the process. The result is de-oxygenation of the sealed container or airtight package. They are non-toxic and safe to use.
This process begins once the oxygen absorber packet is exposed, the iron fillings start to oxidize straightaway, which forms rust and starts releasing nitrogen, it helps in keeping food fresher for a more extended period.
Why Oxygen Absorber
Extend Food Shelf Life
Reduce Waste
Extends shelf life
-
Oxygen absorbers absorb oxygen and effectively reduce the aerobic environment to almost 0% oxygen. Therefore aerobic bacteria and fungi are unable to grow in this environment. This will extend the shelf life of a food product drastically.
To eliminate insects and their eggs
-
Oxygen absorber eliminates pests It also works efficiently against eggs of pest
Prevent growth of aerobic pathogens
-
Oxygen absorber prevents the propagation of aerobic bacteria, such as mold, which cannot live without oxygen.
Retain fresh-roasted flavor of coffee and nuts
-
Oxidization has an adverse effect on color and taste. KEEPIT prevents changes of pigment in foods and at the same time protects aromatic elements in foods such as coffee, tea and seaweed, keeping them tasty and fresh.
Prevention of oxidization of fat, vitamins etc
-
When fat contained in foods is in contact with oxygen, it oxidizes and deteriorates. In the case of vitamins E and C in foods, this causes depletion in the strength of the vitamin or change in its quality.

Oxygen Absorber
TRI Type (Anti-oil)
General formula to determine the specific amount of cubic centimetre of oxygen absorption required is as follows:
Container Volume – Food Volume = Residual Air Volume
Residual Air Volume x 0.21 (because air is made up of 21% oxygen) = Oxygen Absorber Size Requirement
