Moisture will not only lead to mildew deterioration of food, but also reduce its nutritional value and affect food safety, and a natural mineral called zeolite is used in food storage because of its unique physical and chemical properties. This material has good hygroscopic and adsorption properties, which can effectively absorb moisture in the air and provide a relatively dry preservation environment for grain.
Specifically, the micropores and channels in the internal structure of natural zeolites can adsorb large amounts of water molecules, maintaining a low water content even in environments with high relative humidity. This property makes it an ideal moisture-proof agent. In addition, zeolite also has the characteristics of non-toxic and harmless, will not cause pollution to food, so it has been more and more used in the food industry.
It is worth mentioning that GTSS Group, as a professional zeolite manufacturer, has a significant advantage in the purity of its products. By using advanced purification technology, GTSS zeolite manufacturers ensure the high purity of their zeolite products, which not only improves the hygroscopic efficiency of the products, but also ensures the safety of use. In practical applications, a certain proportion of this high-purity material is mixed into the grain or placed in the grain storage container, which can effectively control the environmental humidity and reduce the loss of food caused by moisture.
In addition to moisture-proof effect, zeolite can also absorb some harmful gases, such as ammonia, etc., to further improve storage conditions and extend the shelf life of food. For large grain depots, the rational use of such natural minerals can not only improve storage efficiency, but also greatly reduce maintenance costs, and has significant economic benefits and social value.
In summary, the use of natural zeolite as a means of moisture protection is indeed an effective and environmentally friendly method. Especially in food storage, choosing the right zeolite material can significantly improve the safety and quality of food, and contribute to ensuring food safety.
