Inerting, blanketing and sparging
Oxidation occurs when the empty headspace around a product contains moisture and oxygen, causing a negative effect on the surrounding product. Inerting, blanketing and sparging are three of the most common ways to combat oxidation by eliminating the atmospheric oxygen around a product. By replacing the oxygen with high-purity nitrogen, the empty headspace is filled with a dry and inert gas.
