Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What are oxygen absorbers and how do they work? A: Oxygen absorbers are small packets that contain materials that chemically absorb oxygen from the air, creating a low-oxygen environment within sealed packages. This helps to preserve food by preventing oxidation, which can lead to spoilage.
- Q: What is the capacity of these oxygen absorbers? A: These oxygen absorbers have a capacity of 400cc, making them suitable for use in one-gallon Mylar bags and other airtight containers.
- Q: Can these oxygen absorbers be used with oily foods? A: Yes, these absorbers feature an anti-oil film design, allowing them to be safely used with both oil and oil-free foods to help extend their shelf life.
- Q: How quickly do these oxygen absorbers reduce oxygen levels? A: The oxygen concentration in the package can be reduced to below 0.01% in a short period, effectively preserving the freshness of your food.
- Q: What types of food can I store using these oxygen absorbers? A: These oxygen absorbers are ideal for a variety of foods, including nuts, dried meats, cereals, snacks, vegetables, and even pet food.
- Q: Do the bags containing the oxygen absorbers shrink like vacuum bags? A: No, the bags may not shrink like vacuum-sealed bags as the absorbers do not absorb air; they only absorb oxygen, which makes up about 20% of the air.
- Q: Are these oxygen absorbers safe for food storage? A: Yes, the oxygen absorbers are made of food-grade materials and have passed rigorous food safety testing, ensuring they are safe to store with food.
- Q: How are the oxygen absorbers packaged? A: The absorbers are packaged in sets of five and are heat sealed immediately after production to prevent exposure to oxygen and maximize their effectiveness.
- Q: Can I reuse the oxygen absorbers after opening? A: No, once the absorbers are exposed to air, they cannot be reused as they lose their potency, so it is recommended to use them immediately or store them in a sealed environment.
- Q: How should I store these oxygen absorbers before use? A: Store the oxygen absorbers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their effectiveness until you are ready to use them.
