Can the mooncake deoxidizer be put with the mooncake? No, not together.
When packaging moon cakes, it is best to separate the deoxidizer from the moon cake holder. The moon cake holder is smooth around, and there can be no burr or corner to puncture the bag and leak.
Generally, deoxidizers are packaged in breathable plastic film (perforated film) or paper, and then packed into food packaging bags. In addition to iron powder, its components also include calcium chloride, salt, activated carbon, diatomite and other auxiliary components, each of which has a specific role. The deoxidizer is safe, but it is not edible.
Friendly reminder: the words "deoxidizer" should be marked on the package of mooncake deoxidizer, and the words "deoxidizer is inedible" should be added to the product label text.
Can deoxidizer directly contact moon cakes? Never touched moon cakes.
According to national regulations, deoxidizers can't contact food directly. For example, we eat moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be a plastic bracket under the moon cake to separate the deoxidizer. Therefore, the deoxidizer must not be in direct contact with food, and the packaging of the mooncake deoxidizer must meet the food requirements.
The mooncake deoxidizer belongs to non-food category and can't be in direct contact with food. They are packed in food packaging. The only contact with food is the outer packaging. Whether the small package of mooncake deoxidizer can contact with food depends on the packaging material and ink.
How to save moon cakes 1 Refrigerator refrigeration
Soft-skinned moon cakes are easy to deteriorate because of their high moisture content. It's best to put the moon cakes together with the packaging box in the refrigerator and take them out one hour before eating to ensure their taste. Other moon cakes can also be boxed and put in the refrigerator. In this environment, the shelf life of moon cakes will be longer.
Although for some kinds of moon cakes, putting them in the refrigerator can prolong the shelf life, it will still affect the taste. This is because the starch in the raw materials of moon cakes will soften after baking. At low temperature, cooked starch will precipitate moisture and age, making moon cakes hard and taste worse.
2. Not suitable for sealing
Moon cakes are rich in oil and sugar. When heated and humid, it is easy to be moldy and deteriorated. Therefore, moon cakes must be stored in a low temperature, cool and ventilated place. For those families who have never used the refrigerator, moon cakes are not suitable for long-term storage in sealed containers. It is best to put moon cakes in bamboo baskets, cover them with clean paper, then hang them in a cool and ventilated place and turn them up and down the next day. Boxed moon cakes should be ventilated by opening the box cover.
protect form light
Moon cakes contain a lot of fat, so we should avoid exposure to the sun to prevent oil from oxidation and rancidity.
tread lightly
Moon cakes should be handled with care, especially Su-style moon cakes, because their skins are brittle and easily broken. If the crust falls off, it will not only affect the appearance, but also affect the taste and quality, and it is easy to get wet and deteriorate.
Prevent odor
Moon cakes should not be stored with other foods and sundries, so as not to affect the flavor and lose their proper taste and characteristics. Pay attention to prevent cockroaches, ants and mice from invading food during storage to prevent infectious diseases.
