Fresh and Dried Packaging Testing Instruments

Dried foods are more prone to insect contamination and moisture reabsorption and must be properly packaged and stored in safe place. Warm food causes sweating which could provide enough moisture for mould to grow. Packing of food must be done in dry insect-proof containers as tightly as possible without crushing. Vegetables should be dried and packaged properly as vegetables shatter if hit with a hammer. Because they are so dry, they do not need conditioning like fruits. Great efforts were made to maintain the quality of fresh fruits at an optimum level during their entire storage period. When shipping fresh produce, it is important to consider the temperature range that each product requires for transport.

Packaging of fresh and dry products ensures that the products remain dry. Fresh produce should be heavily bubble-wrapped and padded and must be surrounded by cooling packs and insulated pads. Bags, crates, hampers, baskets, cartons, bulk bins and so forth are better containers for handling, transporting, and marketing fresh produce. Fresh and Dried Packaging Testing Instruments must be used to test the quality of packaging to retain the freshness and dryness of food products.
