In the food industry, packaging and storage are two crucial aspects that also determine the shelf life and effectiveness of a product. dextrose monohydrate falls into the category of sweeteners in the food industry. It has a sweetness level approximately half that of sucrose (table sugar) and similar calorific value. It is widely used in various applications. Now, let’s take a look at the proper storage method for it.
- Choose packaging specifications that are suitable for the unit usage or have smaller production quantities.
- The packaging should have moisture-proof functionality.
- Store the product in a dry and well-ventilated area, and seal the bag after use. Since one-water glucose has good moisture-absorbing properties, it is not recommended to store it in a cold storage facility where there can be significant temperature differences that may cause clumping.
- Avoid stacking the product too high to prevent excessive pressure on the bottom, which can lead to clumping.
- Enhance the dryness of the storage room by placing sawdust or lime to reduce localized humidity. If possible, consider using dehumidifiers or similar devices for humidity control.
