Sugar itself will not be moldy. If it is moldy, there must be a lot of water. Sugar itself is very soluble in water. It is also very easy to enter microorganisms, causing microbial cells to lose water and die, so pure sugar will not be moldy. why do homemade gummies mold? Mold is caused by mold reproduction, and mold reproduction needs water. Candy has a low moisture content in a well-packaged state, will not mold. And even if there is some water, the osmotic pressure is not resistant to any microorganisms.

The main components of gummies are disaccharides and glucose, but also some protein and fat. Only drying does not work, and it will still absorb moisture when you put it in other places. Mold is caused by nutrition, temperature, humidity, and ubiquitous mold, so gummy is best kept in a dry place at low temperatures. A small amount can be refrigerated.

In summer and autumn, when the average temperature is above 30℃ and humidity is high, the shelf life of all kinds of gel gummy is not more than twelve months, and the shelf life of hard candy is not more than twelve months. The shelf life of pressed/polished candies is mainly affected by humidity and can reach eighteen to twenty-four months when the package is well sealed.

Candy is not edible when it expires. Candy is made of syrup, and expired candy syrup will deteriorate; syrup deterioration will produce harmful bacteria, harmful bacteria in the sweet taste will grow faster. The growth of bacteria will destroy the original taste of candy, and candy contains bacteria harmful to human consumption. So how should candy be preserved?

Candy preservation methods.

1, ensure that in a sealed state

The sugar content of candy is high, and sugar is sensitive to humidity. If the environmental humidity is greater than 50%, it will be easy to make the candy moisture melting. The moisture content in the air is large, so when preserving candy, candy should be stored in sealed containers to avoid direct contact between candy and air.

2、Avoid being in a high-temperature environment

Can not be exposed to the long-term preservation of candy in the sun. Sunlight for a long time will make the temperature of the candy suddenly rise so that the phenomenon of melting. Then there is the candy that can not be placed in the heater, small sun, and air conditioning near the mouth because the temperature of these positions is relatively high, and easy to melt the candy.

3, pay attention to the shelf life of the candy

Under normal circumstances, the shelf life of candies will not exceed half a year, so we do not buy many candies at one time to not exceed the shelf life of candies.

4, activated carbon can be used to absorb moisture

When preserving candy, we can put a piece of activated charcoal near the candy because the activated charcoal can absorb the surrounding moisture to avoid the candy moisture.

5、Smell before consumption

Before you are ready to eat candies, you should smell the candies to see if they are sour. If so, don’t eat them because the candies have deteriorated.

The gummy we usually bought is processed by the gummy making machine. In fact, whether it is homemade gummy or purchased gummy, over time, there will be a moldy phenomenon, so if you want to make gummy at home, you can make it when you want to eat it, or a little less to do some refrigeration. Candy processing plants make gummy through gummy machine, and certain preservation measures are carried out after production to extend their shelf life.

Sugar is a necessary appetizer snack after a meal, especially after eating greasy food just after a meal. You can properly contain a few candies. This can achieve the effect of promoting appetizers, which is also of great benefit to the human body. However, I suggest that everyone should pay attention here. Although candy can serve as an appetizer, you can’t make or buy too much candy at one time. If you don’t recognize it for a long time, it will exceed the shelf life and affect the taste.
