Reddit reviews Oxy-Sorb Oxygen Absorbers for Food Storage, 100cc, 100-Pack

1-2 weeks seems really, really fast for rancidity. I've never messed with dehydrated ground beef or anything, but most meats I've used (tuna, shrimp, chicken) last quite a bit longer.

Rancidity is the interaction between fat and oxygen, so ways to preserve meats from going rancid are 1) low fat and 2) low oxygen. Using only lean meat and trying to reduce excess grease is step 1. After that, yes, a vacuum sealer will help. These might also be worth it if you're really worried.

If you're serious about preserving and storing, I'd suggest getting a FoodSaver, a pair of jar sealers and a package of oxygen absorbers.

This will enable you to store nuts, grains, coffee and tea with very little loss of flavor.

Oh, ok. I use my Foodsaver for lots of other stuff.

Unless you're trying to store a huge amount of tea, the size of those bags might be overkill. But, assuming they don't leak or lose their seal, that'd probably work fine. Also, depending on how fluffy or brittle the tea leaves are, the pressure may cause some breakage. I would recommend adding a few packets of oxygen absorber like this to each bag of tea to help keep them fresh longer.

Hey _mycelia, do you ever put oxygen absorbers in your vacuum sealed bags? I haven't vacuumed any but I'm thinking about it. Here is a link to some I found on Amazon, plus check out the mason jar sealer that under "Frequeny Bought Together" items on that link.

Dude you know dedicated food-safe oxygen absorbers are a thing right? Also use a metal foil to block oxygen, that's why MRE packets are always silvery inside.

Cannabinoids degrade in three main ways: Oxidative, UV, and Heat. If you buy some oxygen absorbent on amazon, as well as some desiccant packs, https://www.amazon.com/Oxy-Sorb-Oxygen-Absorbers-Storage-100-Pack/dp/B0028AG8RO
and store the product in the freezer, the product will stay amazingly fresh for a VERY long time. I use the desiccants to keep water from condensing out in the pyrex storage jars I use.

I buy a 100 pack on Amazon. Make sure you keep them in an airtight container.

Acid free paper will definitely help a lot.

The reason dyes fade with time is mainly because of a process called photooxidation. This basically means that when the dyes absorb light energy they can transfer that energy to oxygen making it more reactive. The elimination of light and oxygen will therefore do a lot to conserve the print. A way you can do this is to obviously use an airtight container but also to use some sachets of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or iron powder which will scavenge the oxygen left in the container after it is sealed. They do this all the time in the food industry. Keeping everything really dry will also help to reduce oxygen permeation into the ink so maybe chuck in some silica sachets as well (desiccant).

EDIT: O2 absorbers and desiccant.
