2. Oxygen scavenger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_scavenger

   There are many types of oxygen absorbers available to cover a wide array of applications. [2] [3] The components of an oxygen absorber vary according to intended use, the water activity of the product being preserved, and other factors. Often the oxygen absorber or scavenger is enclosed in a porous sachet or packet but it can also be part of ...

3. Scavenger (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenger_(chemistry)

   Oxygen scavengers or oxygen absorbers are small sachets or self adhesive labels that are placed inside modified atmosphere packs to help extend product life (notably cooked meats) and help improve product appearance. They work by absorbing any oxygen left in the pack by oxidation of the iron powder contained in the sachet/label. [1]

4. Active packaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_packaging

   Oxygen scavengers or oxygen absorbers help remove oxygen from a closed package. Oxygen causes acceleration of product degradation and oxidation of e.g. vitamins and fats by stimulating microbial activity. [7] As a result, poor taste, bad odor, discoloration and nutrient degradation may be the consequences.

5. Desiccant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiccant

   Canisters are commonly filled with silica gel and other molecular sieves used as desiccant in drug containers to keep contents dry. Silica gel in a sachet or porous packet. A desiccant is a hygroscopic substance that is used to induce or sustain a state of dryness (desiccation) in its vicinity; it is the opposite of a humectant.

6. Modified atmosphere - Wikipedia

   Oxygen also helps maintain high respiration rates of fresh produce, which contribute to shortened shelf life. [3] From a microbiological aspect, oxygen encourages the growth of aerobic spoilage microorganisms. [2] Therefore, the reduction of oxygen and its replacement with other gases can reduce or delay oxidation reactions and microbiological ...

7. Rebreather - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather

   A store of oxygen, usually as compressed gas in a high pressure cylinder, but sometimes as liquid oxygen, that feeds gaseous oxygen into the ambient pressure breathing volume, either continuously, or when the user operates the oxygen addition valve, or via a demand valve in an oxygen rebreather, when the volume of gas in the breathing circuit ...
