“…As reported by different authors (Tewari, Jayas, Jeremiah, & Holley, 2001;Venturini, ContrerasCastillo, Sarantopoulos, & Villanueva, 2006;Limbo et al, 2013), oxygen scavengers are an essential part of master bag solutions, providing a rapid reduction of the residual oxygen concentration and allowing the establishment of the optimal low oxygen level necessary for the reduction of myoglobin to obtain deoxymyoglobin (DMb). This conversion can occur at extremely low oxygen partial pressures through the reversible formation of metmyoglobin (MMb) , and the rate of absorption of the gas is key to reaching the appropriate gas partial pressure in the shortest time.…”
