Jaggery is a particular sugar popular in India derived from sugarcane juice. A practice was executed to estimate the quality of jaggery by packing it with different materials. The results exhibited that the most suitable packaging material for storing jaggery, lessening sugar content, moisture content, porosity, and microbial load in jaggery was to be very minimum in jaggery packaged under vacuum in three-layer material.
During the packaging of jaggery or the jaggery powder, excess oxygen can be stored with it and spoil the shape, taste and colour of the food. Here the oxygen absorbers take charge. Oxygen absorbers for jaggery powder storage avoid damaging it. The absorber is certified and will never react or spoil the jaggery powder.
There is not much variation in the packaging material of jaggery. Glass jars, LDPE (Low-Density Polythene) packets, and PET (Poly-Ethylene Terephthalate) jars are majorly used for the packaging of jaggery. But using these types of materials is not enough to prevent jaggery from mold growth. We need to take precautions to give it an anaerobic environment. Oxygen absorbers can be the best solution for jaggery storage, which vanishes all our worries.
