Composed of food-grade materials, FreshPax protects packaged foods
against spoilage, rancidity, and mold growth while maintaining color,
flavor, and texture. FreshPax reduces and maintainins oxygen levels
inside sealed packaging at less than 0.01% to extend product shelf life
and reduce the use of artificial preservatives. The packets are
dispensed from Multisorb’s Active-Pak Automation equipment which
features a packet spool supply system offering automated nitrogen purge
with nitrogen supply and oxygen level monitoring/alarming. This option
ensures that scavengers will deliver their full capacity at the point
of insertion. FreshPax oxygen scavenging technology can be used with
gas flushing and vacuum packaging to absorb virtually all oxygen that
may permeate the package. FreshPax has been found to be effective when
used with many kinds of packaging materials including EVOH and PVDC and
can be adjusted to fit specific packaging needs.
