Oxygen and carbon dioxide is the key point to headspace gas analysis.
Oxygen can not only damage the nutritional content of food (for example oxygen can oxidize oils and fats, it smells bad. Sometimes it is toxic). Under most circumstances, it is the conditions for the growth of bacteria (bacteria growth in food is the main reason for deterioration). But when the oxygen content is less than 2%, carbon dioxide levels in more than 7%, food and bacteria are in a state of hibernation, which can effectively extend the shelf life of food. Many drugs, such as low-cost iron salt, iodide, nitrite, unsaturated carbon chain and other types of organic drugs, can be slowly oxidized. Discoloration, smell, decomposition and deterioration will occur. Sometimes it is also toxic. Most of cosmetics contain fat ingredients. Non-saturated fat can easily cause oxidation and deterioration (rancidity), and oxygen is the most important external cause to rancidity.
Carbon dioxide gas is an important component to CAP packaging and MAP packaging. Its content is closely related to product shelf life length, and carbon dioxide content of the package is directly influencing carbonated drinks taste and quality. Drugs packaging also needs attention to the impact of carbon dioxide, because some drugs can combine with carbon dioxide in the air, resulting in deterioration. Examples are some hydroxide, oxide and the class of calcium drugs. They can absorb carbon dioxide and produce carbonate.
