Eliminating Oxygen From Pharma Packaging
Multisorb Technologies has introduced its StabilOx specialty oxygen absorber.
To further improve the product, the new Freshmax employs a proprietary structure that assures seal adhesion and dispensing integrity.
The structure allows for effective and reliable insertion in to the package, which helps maintain maximum efficiency in food packaging operations, said Multisorb.
John Solomon, business development leader at Multisorb, said: "Freshmax has an advanced structure that helps packagers eliminate downtime and streamline their operations.
To complement the new technology, our technical services division is capable of recommending a complete dispensing solution." Freshmax products are claimed to extend freshness and protect against spoilage, mould growth and other damage.
The oxygen absorbers retain food taste and colour in packaged foods, including sliced delicatessen and processed meats, nuts, baked goods, snack foods and dairy products.
Through the use of oxygen scavenger technology, Freshmax prevents the growth of aerobic pathogens and organisms and controls the oxidative chemical and biochemical spoilage reactions that occur in products within a sealed package.
By reducing and maintaining the oxygen content within packaging to below 0.01 per cent, Freshmax assists food products to retain their nutritional value and eliminates the need for BHA, BHT, sulphur dioxide, sorbates, benzoates and other food additives, claimed the company.
A self-adhesive oxygen absorber, Freshmax is applied to the interior surface of almost any package using conventional labelling equipment, or insertion machines.
Freshmax products range in capacity from 5cc to 25cc and are available in spools or fan-folded for automatic dispensing.
