Liquid in an oxygen permeable container can be stored with Zero in an oxygen barrier outer packaging. Even Dissolved Oxygen can be absorbed by Zero through the container material after a while.
Note: Zero is designed to be in direct contact with the liquid.
Low temperatures slow oxygen absorption rates. However, slower oxygen absorption is not a problem, since at low temperatures, product degradation generally slows down and the activity of microorganisms slows down. We also offer our special Zero type SS type for frozen foods.
Since the amount of air is already reduced in a vacuum pack, a smaller size Zero can be selected. However, in case of a strong vacuum ratio, place the Zero in free air flow with some distance between the product and the packaging film.
It can be used with the zero nitrogen gas exchange system. However, this combination will result in a slow rate of oxygen absorption due to the low initial oxygen concentration; therefore, choose a larger Zero size to compensate for the delay in oxygen absorption. Additionally, gas exchange will tend to result in an unstable exchange rate; therefore, when using with Zero gas purge, please use a size of Zero larger than the calculated size. Carbon dioxide gas exchange and mixed carbon dioxide-nitrogen gas exchange are not recommended for use with Zero, as carbon dioxide will prevent Zero from absorbing oxygen.
If Zero is used in boiling or autoclave sterilization with high humidity products, the Zero sachet may rupture depending on food characteristics, packaging style and heating conditions. Please do a test with the actual packaging material to evaluate the use applicability.
Yes. In general, Zero removes oxygen faster when placed directly on the product. Even with the self-reactive Zero types, deoxygenation takes longer when placed under the product tray than when placed on top of the product; therefore, practice tests should be performed under real conditions by placing Zero at the selected location.
If the main bag containing a self-reacting Zero type is left open, or if individual packs are taken from the main bag one by one, the heat generated from the Zero reactions may accumulate in the bag, making the bag to feel Warm. Always spread packages on a tray to avoid degraded performance. Roller and tape variants may become hot during use, but this will not affect performance as long as they are used within the specified operating time.
Repeated opening and closing of the main bag is undesirable as this will cause the Zero to come into contact with air repeatedly. To reduce the frequency of contact between Zero and the atmosphere, we recommend breaking Zero into small pieces and placing them in bags made of high gas barrier material.
In winter, the air temperature is low and the air is dry; as a result, the ability of microorganisms to multiply is reduced. The amount of microorganisms in the production environment and the number of live bacteria at the beginning are reduced and the growth of microorganisms is suppressed during storage; so that food can be stored efficiently. However, when the weather gets warmer, microorganisms such as yeast and facultative anaerobes that can grow under anaerobic conditions will multiply rapidly and may cause food to spoil earlier.
In general, when Zero is used with foods prone to mold growth and food spoilage, a winter storage test alone is not sufficient. Please re-test the actual packaging material during high temperature seasons, reassess the Zero type and size used, and adjust the expiration date accordingly. Please note that the behavior of Zero and other oxygen absorbers is not effective in preventing deterioration. due to anaerobic microorganisms. You should always carefully test your product to determine if you have a problem with these organisms.
The material in the Zero packaging is made of plastic film containing paper. It should be disposed of in accordance with local community regulations.
Zero's main ingredients include iron powder and vitamin C, while Zero's main ingredients include inorganic salts and colorants. The safety of these ingredients has been approved by official institutions in acute toxicity tests. The packaging materials used in Zero are produced with the permission of the Ministry of Health for food containers, plates and packaging.
What happens if the dust inside Zero comes into contact with my eyes?
This can cause eye scarring. Wash with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice from a doctor.
What happens if zero filler is swallowed whole?
This can damage the esophagus and digestive organs. Get medical advice from a doctor.
What happens if the dust inside Zero comes into contact with our skin?
Wash with soap.
What if the powder inside Zero accidentally gets into my mouth?
Rinse your mouth with water.
What happens if Zero is boiled (with noodles, etc.)?
Although there is no harm in terms of health, iron powder and other ingredients can adversely affect the flavor of foods. If the Zero seal is torn open, the iron powder may mix with the food. In this case, it is not recommended to eat the food.
Zero must be removed before a lunch box containing Zero can be heated in the microwave oven. If left at zero and heated, the product may spark and burn the container, possibly catching fire. Sterilized rice and similar products may use microwaveable containers. See the notes on the packaging for more information.
When opening the food packaging, oxidation can cause the Zero to heat up. The amount of heat released is small and should not cause burns. Also, no fire worries. The amount of heat released and its duration vary depending on the Zero's type and packaging.
Zero cannot be reused. Once the food item is opened, remove and discard the Zero.
