Moon cakes are rich in oil and sugar, and they are easily mildewed and deteriorated when heated and damp, so they must be stored in a cool and ventilated place at low temperature. Generally speaking, moon cakes are soft, moist and easy to deteriorate. It is best to put them in the refrigerator and take them out one hour before eating to ensure their taste. In the temperature environment of 25 degrees Celsius, mooncakes with almond and mango stuffing can be stored for about 15 days. The storage time of moon cakes with stuffing such as bean paste, lotus seed paste and jujube paste should not exceed 10 day; If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the storage time of moon cakes should be shortened appropriately, generally not more than 7 days; As for fresh meat, shredded chicken, ham and other moon cakes, you should eat them as you buy them.
When storing moon cakes, it is not advisable to put them together with other foods and sundries, so as to avoid cross-talk and lose their proper taste and characteristics. During storage, we should also pay attention to prevent cockroaches, ants, mice and so on from eating to prevent infectious diseases. In order to ensure the fresh quality of moon cakes, when buying boxed moon cakes or bulk moon cakes, the production date or factory date should be clearly seen so as to grasp the shelf life.
