How to preserve white sugar best in summer? How to avoid caking of sugar

How to preserve white sugar best in summer? How is sugar too hot and cold? Sugar is more afraid of being too cold and hot. How to make sugar not agglomerate in hot summer?

Improper storage or long storage time of white sugar is prone to the following problems: first, it is affected by moisture, melting, pulping and caking; second, the color value changes and the color turns yellow; third, pollution, physical and chemical indicators and health indicators exceed the standard.

In order to prevent this phenomenon, white sugar should be kept in a place with low humidity, rather than in a place with higher humidity such as the kitchen. If the sugar has agglomerated, it can be placed in a place with high humidity and covered with a wet cloth soaked in water and wrung dry. In this way, after a period of time, sugar again absorb moisture, will slowly become loose. You can also put a few cabbage leaves in the sugar jar to soften the lumped sugar. How to keep sugar from caking in summer and winter

Sugar is the condiment that people eat directly. It not only tastes good but also has high nutritional value. Sugar is easily soluble in water and has strong hygroscopicity. Therefore, when the moisture content of sugar increases, it will produce deliquescence or dissolution phenomenon, and it is easy to agglomerate after drying. It is not damp sugar, when the sugar itself has a lot of water, even in dry and cold winter climate can also agglomerate.

Because when the moist sugar is air dried, a hard syrup film is formed on the crystal surface of the sugar, which makes the sugar stick into hard lumps. The caking sugar is easy to be infected by microorganism, which makes the sucrose transform and ferment into acid. Therefore, it is not suitable to ventilate the sugar during storage, so that the humidity in the air and the moisture of the sugar can reach the balance state, so that the sugar will not increase the moisture, so that its quality can be maintained unchanged.
