This Example Demonstrates Oxygen Absorption with Trona / Citric Acid Mixtures
[0085]In order to test the oxygen removing capacity of the present invention, an oxygen permeable packet containing trona with citric acid powder, at a weight ratio of 9:1, was placed in a one inch diameter by three inch long test tube. In an identical tube a one-gram sample of a commercial iron / iron oxide powder, also in an oxygen permeable packet, was tested to compare the oxygen absorbing results of the present invention to a product that is presently used commercially. These tubes were sealed for 20 minutes after the introduction of the packets. A gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) was used to analyze the oxygen content of the air in the tube. Ambient air contains greater than 200,000 ppm (parts per million) by weight oxygen. After twenty minutes exposure of the air in the respective tubes, the tube containing the trona / citric acid sample registered 11.06 ppm of oxygen and tube containing the iro...

This Example Confirms the Results of Example 1
[0086]It was calculated that 11.6 mg of the trona / citric acid product of Example 1 would be comparable, on a w / v basis, to a two gram packet of the same product in a #10 tin can used for food storage. To further compare the oxygen removing capacity of the present invention with the commercial oxygen absorbing iron / iron oxide product, 11.6 mg of each of these products, in a sealed oxygen permeable packet, were placed in a one inch by three inch tube as in Example 1. When the 11.6 mg trona / citric acid packet was placed in the tube and analyzed after the tube was sealed for 20 minutes as in Example 1, the GC-MS analysis showed the oxygen content in the tube had been lowered to 43.7 ppm. When the 11.6 mg of iron / iron oxide packet was sealed in the tube for 20 minutes, it had reduced the oxygen content to 43.1 ppm. As in Example 1, these tubes were exposed to air for 30 minutes and after the tubes were again sealed for 20 minutes, the trona / c...

This Example Shows Lengthened Shelf Life of Packaged Jerky at Ambient Temperatures
[0087]To demonstrate how well the present invention inhibits bacterial growth, an accelerated 12 month test was conducted on a 4 oz. packet of beef jerky. To this sample of beef jerky a one-gram packet of trona / citric acid (9:1 w / w) was added. The beef jerky was contained in a moisture and gas impermeable plastic envelope, and at the conclusion of the accelerated test, the jerky was removed and analyzed using the AOAC 966.23 method and the standard plate count was less than 10 CFU / g. The coliform count was determined using the AOAC 991.14 method, and it was also found to be less than 10 CFU / g. When the E. Coli count was determined using the same method, it was also found to be less than 10 CFU / g. Using AOAC 2003.07 method the Staphylococcus count was also found to be less than 10 CFU / g. To analyze for Salmonella a modified AOAC 998.09 method was used and it was negative in a 25 gram sample. The yeast a...
