But the problem is when harvesting the paprika, how does the supplier to propper storage raw material paprika and maintain it is the best quality before the ground. Below are four points it is that have been done to keep paprika fresh.
Keep away from heat and get wet
When a truck raw material paprika ship to Factory and before storing in cold storage. These goods must be kept away from places with high temperatures, such as near the kitchen, next to flammable items, or other sources of high heat.
When storing goods in the open air, be sure to put a pallet underneath to prevent the goods from soaking and when it rains. At the same time placed an iron circle on each layer of goods to separate the bag and prevent the goods from being sultry and with no circulating air, causing the goods to be damaged due to overheating.
Keep it cool and dry
The moisture of paprika is one of the most important things. High moisture may cause goods to become black in color due to overheating after a while of storing, Low moisture may affect the color value of ASTA and the taste of food.
Before storing it in the cold storage warehouse, we will use sunlight natural way to dry the paprika. When meeting the required moisture standards (less than 14%), they will be bagged by weight and stored in the cold storage.
What is the temperature required when stored in cold storage?
From the 2006 years to today, we have built 8 cold storage warehouses to store raw materials. It can store more than 9000 Tons of raw materials and finished food. If put paprika at a temperature of 70F to 80F (21 C to 27 C), will lose about 1% of its color value Asta every 10 days. The higher the temperature, the losses are even more rapid.
In summer, the temperature is basically controlled at 32 F to 45 F (0 C to 7 C), that temperature range could maximum guarantee the quality of paprika. In winter, the temperature outside is relatively low, we need to keep the cold storage clean and air circulation.
Keep away from sunlight
When finished products, such as paprika powder, we will put them in the finished items warehouse. The windows in this warehouse are blocked by sun visors to prevent sunlight from shining on the product bags and causing the products to lose color
