“Iron absorbs oxygen when it rusts.” “Prevent oxidation by eliminating oxygen.” Just by implementing a combination of such simple ideas, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical was able to develop AGELESS the world’s fi rst oxygen absorber. AGELESS absorbs oxygen in a sealed container and creates a deoxidized environment, where the concentration of oxygen is 0.1% or less. This way, it is possible to preserve foods by eliminating the ill eff ects of oxygen. AGELESS preserves both the taste and freshness of food. This outstanding feature of AGELESS also expands its application to pharmaceutical products, clothing, and cosmetics. AGELESS is also used widely to ward off mold as well as mites from clothing and bedding.
