CONCLUSION
Oxygen scavengers is active packaging which have two types and mechanisms of action Iron-Based Systems Oxygen Scavenging Polymer Materials. They are mainly used for food and pharmaceutical applications They are the most patented of all active packaging technologies (with at least 50 patents through 1989 and 20 issued from 1990 to 1994) They are important for our life The economics
