In the food production industry, some ingredients are more susceptible to temperature than others, and fast food snacks are one of them.
Snacks have four very important aspects in controlling humidity.
1. Tighten
Tightening food enhances the size of food materials, which usually decreases due to the presence of moisture. If the environmental humidity is not controlled during the production and packaging process, from the processing plant to the customer, it may become increasingly humid and lose the expected materials.
2. Deterioration
Snacks are generally made from edible oil, and oleic acid generally reacts with O2, often referred to as a "bad change" phenomenon, which can also produce a bad taste. Although dehumidifiers cannot remove the alkalization of environmental humidity because the important process is air oxidation rather than internal moisture, the operation of environmental humidity can weaken the alkalization process.
3.Bacterial dissolution.
This is also the only main reason why dehumidifiers are used in the food industry. All kinds of food are made from protein, protein, and fat. If exposed to water in the body, they will begin to hydrolyze reactive components, forming bacteria/bacteria that grow and develop slowly on top. During the shelf life of the product, even without oxygen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa will continue to grow and develop. This food safety risk not only poses serious harm to manufacturers (such as revoking their approval), but also harms the physical and mental health of customers.
4.Agglomerate.
Water can also cause components to adhere to each other. If a new packaging is opened, all the sugar blocks like crystals are stuck, which is unacceptable from the user's perspective. In addition, some flavor enhancers and raw materials should control air humidity to ensure that they do not agglomerate due to agglomeration, thereby improving efficiency. Ensure product quality.
The application of dehumidifiers to maintain a clean environment in the production and packaging fields refers to recognized methods for reducing this risk. To maintain the air humidity within the optimal range of 40% RH to 60% RH, it is also necessary to control and maintain a constant temperature. A controllable natural environment for CO2, ventilation, and sterility testing is essential. The integration of quality management and packaging design can ensure the safety and health of products.
SIAL
Industrial dehumidifier is a multifunctional large capacity professional dehumidifier. In terms of the appearance of the product design, it has the high-end design of digital panel control, and has the great advantage of not occupying space for the storage of the whole machine. In terms of function, the built-in hygrometer can monitor the humidity in the air in real time; The water full alarm system can automatically turn off the alarm when the water is full, so as to prevent large areas of moisture caused by water overflow. During drainage, three drainage methods such as water tank, water pump and drainage pipe can be selected, and high-quality functions such as removing condensate with water hose can be used; It can also be started at a low temperature of 0 ℃. The operating temperature range is 0-35 ℃, and it has the function of automatic defrosting of hot gas to ensure that it can operate even in low temperature weather.
