Bread is a food that is highly conducive to the proliferation of microorganisms. Due to its natural ingredients such as sugars, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals, bread is extremely vulnerable to the action of these organisms. Temperature variations and humidity accelerate the natural decomposition process, producing what we know as mold. Mold alters the flavor of products, impairs quality and can even release toxins that are harmful to health.
Most common reasons for mold to appear
- Contamination of the dough during handling.
- Dirty machines and equipment (with remains of dough and/or ready-made products) or poorly sanitized after use.
- Breads packaged while still hot and/or in packaging that allows air to enter.
Tips for preventing mold
To keep your production free from this problem and ensure that the product arrives at the consumer’s table in perfect condition, follow these tips:
- Slice the bread only after it has cooled.
- Clean and sanitize your slicer before using it.
- Store the bread in a dry environment with a stable temperature.
- Before packaging the product, apply an anti-mold solution.
How to apply anti-mold in bread production
The anti-mold product is widely used in the market and is obtained through a chemical process that slows the development of microorganisms. To increase the shelf life of your bread and apply the anti-mold product efficiently, SIGAMAQ has developed some equipment that makes all the difference in the final production. Check it out!
TUNNEL FOR APPLYING ANTI-MILDEW
The Tunnel offers uniform and precise spraying of the anti-mildew product, and its filtering system ensures the reuse of the excess. The machine is also part of SIGAMAQ’s Automatic Set. See the machine in operation here.
ANTI-MILDEW APPLICATOR
The Applicator has a system that regulates the amount of anti-mildew applied, ensuring excellent cost/benefit. Because it is very versatile, it meets the needs of companies of all sizes and different types of products, such as hot dog buns, hamburger buns, pita bread, sliced bread, pancakes and many others, and can be coupled to the SIGAMAQ Semi-Automatic Packaging Machine and others, including vertical or horizontal flow pack.
