Storage conditions needed for Flour

 o   Clean environment which reduce the breeding of pests and the reproduction of microorganisms. This reduces the chance of contamination of flour and damage to packaging.

o   The storage temperature of flour processing equipment will affect the maturation time of flour. The higher the temperature, the faster the maturation and therefore shortened shelf life. The ideal temperature for storing flour is 18℃-24℃.

o   Good ventilation must be ensured since flour has a respiration effect, so air must be circulated so that the flour has air to be used.

o   Flour is a material that absorbs and stores odours in the air, so there should be no peculiar smell in the surrounding environment where the flour is stored.

o   Flour will change its own moisture content according to the temperature and humidity of the environment. The higher the humidity, the higher the moisture content of the flour vice versa. The ideal humidity is between 60% and 70%.

o   First-in, first-out: Ensure the stability of flour in flour processing equipment and reduce the expiration of flour caused by man-made.

o   Away from the wall and the ground which aids to have good ventilation, reduce moisture and reduce pest pollution.

Cross-contamination in Food processing Plants

Cross-contamination in food processing facilities can occur in ways that may not even be visible as  there are many unexpected ways in which bacteria can travel. Awareness of these potential causes of cross-contamination will aid in the maintenance of a sanitary food processing environment . Post-Harvest Contamination Workers that go from the area of sorting the raw material upon arrival to processing zones are susceptible to spreading bacteria from unclean hands touching food or food-contact surfaces. Cross-Contamination from Storage Bins Stacking storage bins directly onto soil or areas outside the processing facility and then bringing the containers into the facility can also bring bacteria into a clean environment.   Contamination from Footwear When employees walk in fields, compost sites, or other areas outside of clean zones, they can bring bacteria into a processing facility on their feet.    Contamination from Mobile Equipment The same challenge a...
