<p>An anti-oxidation device [36] for retarding oxidation of an oxidizable liquid [16] after opening a liquid container [18]. The device includes an antioxidant [28] for scavenging oxygen and a membrane [30] for containing the antioxidant. The membrane is a gas permeable/liquid impermeable membrane. The device is adapted for positioning itself in the container, substantially at the gas-liquid interface within the container, where the device scavenges oxygen which has entered the opened container. A method for scavenging oxygen in open containers using an anti-oxidation device constructed as described above. Particularly important is the application of the device and method described herein to retarding oxidation and spoilage in beverages and other comestibles.</p> |
