The food and beverage industry is essential for providing safe and enjoyable products to consumers. However, it faces significant challenges related to moisture control, which can affect food quality and shelf life, especially during long durations of product packaging, storage, and transportation. Excess moisture oxygen levels can greatly lead to spoilage, growth of mold, microorganisms, fungi, and also changes in texture, taste, quality, and potency. This can lead to spoilage of edible food and beverage products. making them less edible, or safe to eat. Additionally, changes in moisture can cause clumping in powdered foods, making them difficult to use and store.
To help fight these issues, premium-quality absorbents and desiccants are vital. These materials effectively absorb moisture from the air and food products, helping to keep items fresh and prolong their shelf life. They help maintain the right texture of foods, prevent caking in powdered products, and keep liquids clear by removing excess humidity. Absorbents can also help in removing unwanted odors and impurities from food items.
