Dehydrated
Food and Drug are among the moisture sensitive
products. The moisture from inside and outside
the package can easily deteriorate the quality
of dehydrated food and drug both physically
and chemically. The selection of package
for dehydrated food and drug is very important
as it can effectively prevent the penetration
of moisture from outside. If, however, the
transparency or other characteristics of
package is needed for the product, it hardly
avoids the attack of moisture from outside.
Furthermore, the moisture within the package
or within the product itself typically calls
for an appropriated desiccant to preserve
the quality of product by reducing and controlling
the moisture within such package.
The desiccant
is an effective and efficient solution to
get rid of moisture damage to dehydrated
food and drug. The desiccant adsorbs and
retains the moisture of the surrounding
air; as a result, the moisture within the
package is reduced and controlled at such
level that is harmless to the product. At
the same time, the cost of desiccant is
infinitesimal compared to the commercial
value of dehydrated food and drug.
The selection
of appropriated desiccant for the product
largely depends upon the types of desiccant,
correct quantity of desiccant, and type
of desiccant packaging (desiccant bag).
The types of desiccant determine the overall
performance of desiccant (adsorption capacity
and adsorption rate). Desiccants perform
differently under certain circumstances.
The correct quantity of desiccant brings
in the capacity for desiccant to reduce
and control the undesired moisture and normally
calculated by package dimension, moisture
residue of the content, tightness of package,
and shelf life of product. The type of desiccant
packaging should, if applicable, be certified
by such relevant authorities as Food and
Drug Agency (FDA). The desiccant bag allows
the desiccant inside to perform flawlessly;
still, it could damage the product if the
desiccant is leaked from the bag. As a matter
of fact, the desiccant bag is more than
the bag for the desiccant. It also represents
the image of product for, in fact, it is
placed together with the product and easily
recognized by the customer. The hygiene
product could be virtually damaged by the
poor character of desiccant bag without
doubt.
