  • Publication number: 20250058955
    Abstract: A liquid-filled combination container includes a container having oxygen permeability and containing liquid in a containing portion, a barrier container having oxygen barrier properties and accommodating the container, at least one oxygen reactant that can react with oxygen in the barrier container, and a fluorescent material that varies in fluorescence time or fluorescence intensity according to a surrounding oxygen concentration. The oxygen reactant is fixed to at least any one of an outer surface of the container and an inner surface of the barrier container. The fluorescent material is provided on an inner surface of the container at a fluorescent material installation location apart from the containing portion of the container.
