Market data indicates that 73% of consumers are willing to pay a premium price for "additive-free" and "100% pure" juice. This trend is driving the juice market's transition from "flavored beverages" toward "authentic fruit juice."

However, the absence of additives means losing its protective shield. When oxygen slowly permeates through the bottle walls or cap, it leads to quality degradation：

• Color Deterioration: Enzymatic browning caused by polyphenol oxidase upon oxygen exposure, leading to juice discoloration.

• Nutrient Loss: Vitamin C content can degrade by up to 10% daily.

• Flavor Deterioration: Oxidation of volatile aromatic compounds results in loss of fresh taste.

• Quality Decline: Compromised consumer experience significantly erodes brand competitiveness.

Even high-quality plastic packaging materials like PET and PP struggle to completely block oxygen permeation.

Fortunately, this challenge is not without a solution. The innovative application of oxygen absorber technology offers a new approach to juice beverage packaging.

Dual Oxygen Barrier Freshness Technology

York Oxygen Absorbers deliver comprehensive protection through two primary mechanisms:

1、Internal Oxygen Scavenging

The active ingredients undergo a chemical reaction to actively absorb residual oxygen inside the package.

2、External Oxygen Barrier

Through co-blown blow molding technology, high-concentration oxygen absorber masterbatch is uniformly dispersed and stretched within the bottle wall, forming a dense barrier that prevents direct oxygen penetration and delays external oxygen ingress.

Tests demonstrate that compared to untreated PET bottles, packaging with integrated oxygen absorbers shows a significant drop in internal oxygen concentration: maintaining 0% oxygen level throughout a 200-day observation period, and reducing long-term oxygen content by 50%-75%.

Under the dual oxygen barrier protection of oxygen absorbers, juice better preserves its natural color, flavor, and vitamin content throughout the shelf life, achieving "long-lasting freshness even without additives."

Dual Assurance of Quality & Safety

On safety, York Oxygen Absorbers are certified by China's GB 4806.7 food contact material safety standard and the U.S. FDA, ensuring full compliance with food safety regulations while maintaining high oxygen absorption efficiency. They are safe for use in various food and beverage packaging applications.

Ready-to-Integrate Production Lines，Low-Cost Upgrade

Oxygen absorbers can be directly and evenly blended with PET/PP chips, compatible with existing injection molding and extrusion processes without equipment modification, significantly reducing the cost of technological upgrades for enterprises.

Beyond juice beverages, oxygen absorbers also hold significant application value in other oxygen-sensitive products such as tea drinks, dairy products, beer, pharmaceuticals, and nut snacks, providing comprehensive preservation solutions for businesses.
