General description

Method: photometric 0.020 - 0.500 mg/l DEHA 0.027 - 0.667 mg/l Carbohy 0.053 - 1.315 mg/l Hydro 0.078 - 1.950 mg/l ISA 0.087 - 2.170 mg/l MEKO Spectroquant®

This Spectroquant® Oxygen Scavengers Reagent Test allows the accurate quantification of the oxygen scavengers content in aqueous samples.


Method applied: In the presence of oxygen scavengers iron(III) ions are reduced to iron(II) ions. These react with a triazine derivative (FerroZine) to form a violet complex which is determined photometrically.


The Spectroquant® Reagent Test Kits contain highly stable, ready-to-use reagent mixtures to perform the analysis according to the procedure described in the accompanying instruction leaflet.


All our Cell and Reagent Test Kits are equipped with the unique Live ID (2D barcode) which allows seamless method recognition and contains essential information such as lot number, expiry date, and automatic calibration updates.

Application


  • Food Packaging and Shelf Life Extension: Oxygen scavengers are extensively used in food packaging to extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation. Recent research has demonstrated the application of oxygen scavengers in gel electromembrane extraction for the simultaneous determination of nitrate and nitrite in sausage samples. This green methodology enhances the accuracy of food quality assessments and ensures the safety of packaged foods (Samkumpim et al., Food Chemistry, 2023).

  • Advanced Material Science: Oxygen scavengers are used in the development and characterization of advanced materials, including biodegradable films for active packaging. Recent research has explored the fabrication of ultraviolet light-driven green oxygen scavenging composites made of PVA/NRL for food packaging, providing an alternative to traditional metallic oxygen scavengers. This application demonstrates the potential for creating sustainable and efficient oxygen-scavenging materials (Ramakanth et al., Green Chemistry, 2024).
