Month cakes frozen in the refrigerator for a year can not be eaten.

The shelf life of mooncakes is usually less than 3 months, and storing them in a freezer in a low-temperature environment can slow down the deterioration of the mooncakes, but they should not be eaten because they have been left for too long.

Mooncakes are generally divided into two types of fillings: soft fillings, which contain more water and can only be stored for about 7 to 10 days, and hard fillings, which can be stored for about 1 month. For boxed mooncakes, the lid should be opened to allow ventilation. In addition, mooncakes contain more fat and should also be stored away from light to prevent oxidation of the oils.

Mooncakes are rich in fat and sugar, and are susceptible to mold and deterioration when exposed to heat and moisture, so be sure to store them in a cool, shaded and ventilated place.

Shelf life of moon cakes

The shelf life of moon cakes varies, the longest preservation period of 90 days, the shortest is only a dozen days, and some are labeled 45 days or 60 days. Industry sources, because after baking the moon cakes still maintain a certain amount of moisture and oil, so the shelf life can not be like cookies and other dehydrated foods have a long time. The length of the shelf life is subject to a variety of factors such as the quality of raw materials, production environment, production equipment and packaging technology, especially the production environment and packaging materials on the shelf life of the impact.

Modern factories are carried out under sterile conditions, eliminating sources of contamination, so mooncakes produced and packaged in this environment have a longer shelf life. The manual production, on the other hand, although it can achieve hygienic conditions, but not to the extent of asepsis, more or less contaminated with bacteria, so even with the same packaging, the shelf life will be shortened.

In addition, because of the moon cakes filled with different fillings, the shelf life is also different, in general, dried fruits for the filling of the moon cakes have a long shelf life, egg yolks, fruits of the short, and the chocolate filling of the best refrigeration.
