OxySorb™ Oxygen Absorbers Australia – Food Preservation, Mylar Bags and Commercial Packaging
OxySorb™ oxygen absorbers are supplied in Australia by Wholesale Group International Pty Ltd for food storage, Mylar bags, jars, pouches, tubs, retail packaging and commercial food manufacturing. Oxygen absorbers are also known as oxygen scavengers, O2 absorbers, oxygen absorber packets and oxygen absorber sachets. They are used inside sealed oxygen-barrier packaging to help remove residual oxygen and protect oxygen-sensitive foods from oxidation, rancidity, colour loss, flavour deterioration, mould and microbial spoilage.
Oxygen is one of the main causes of food deterioration during storage. When oxygen remains inside a sealed pack, it can accelerate oxidation, reduce shelf life, affect aroma and flavour, and create conditions that may contribute to mould growth in suitable products. OxySorb™ oxygen absorber packets are designed to reduce oxygen inside properly sealed packaging, assisting with longer shelf life and better product stability.
OxySorb™ oxygen absorbers can be used for a wide range of food and packaging applications, including dried foods, grains, rice, flour, nuts, dried fruit, jerky, biltong, pizza bases, bakery products, tea, coffee, pet food, nutraceuticals, vitamin packaging and other oxygen-sensitive products. They are suitable for both small-scale food storage and larger commercial food packaging operations.
Wholesale Group International supplies oxygen absorbers in multiple sizes, including 20cc, 30cc, 50cc, 100cc, 200cc, 300cc, 500cc, 1000cc and 2000cc oxygen absorber sachets. Smaller sachets are commonly used for small pouches, jars and retail packs, while larger oxygen absorbers are used for bigger Mylar bags, tubs, bulk packs and commercial packaging. Correct sizing depends on the package volume, residual air space, food type, oxygen barrier properties and sealing method.
When using oxygen absorbers, the packaging must be airtight and have suitable oxygen-barrier properties. Oxygen absorbers should only be opened when ready for use, and unused sachets should be resealed promptly in an airtight container. They should not be confused with silica gel desiccants. Silica gel absorbs moisture, whereas oxygen absorbers remove oxygen. In some packaging systems, oxygen absorbers and desiccants may be used for different purposes, depending on the product and packaging requirements.
OxySorb™ oxygen absorbers are suitable for retail customers, home food storage users, preppers, food businesses, exporters, packaging companies and Australian food manufacturers seeking reliable oxygen absorber supply. For commercial applications, customers should validate the absorber size, packaging system, sealing process and shelf-life requirements for their specific product.
