Key Points

Oxygen exposure accelerates spoilage in packaged foods, indicating the need for effective preservation methods.
Non-iron oxygen scavengers improve food safety and recyclability compared to traditional methods.
Green alternatives provide a sustainable option for packaging, addressing both consumer concerns and environmental impact.
The shift towards safer materials reflects growing demands for sustainability in food packaging practices.

Implication

Analysis reveals the mechanisms of non-iron oxygen scavengers, highlighting their applications and environmental benefits.

Abstract

Oxygen exposure in packaged foods accelerates oxidative spoilage, microbial growth, and sensory degradation. While iron-based oxygen scavengers are widely used, concerns over safety, recyclability, and consumer perception have led to...
