What is a “Diabsorber”; Simply put, a diabsorber absorbs Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
How can this achieve better results with respect to shelf life?
Anaeorbic and Facultative Anaeorbic Microbes can grow without Oxygen, but in most instances not carbon dixoide. Diabsorbers may be better suited for fermented or
