The function and storage method of cake cold room

Cake is not only a delicious dessert, but also endowed with a lot of emotional meaning by people, so people's consumption demand for cakes is constantly increasing. However, while cakes are delicious, they are also difficult to store. The application of cold room can improve this problem, extend the shelf life of cakes and maintain the original taste. In this article, we will discuss the cake cold room, explore the role of the cake cold room, understand how the cake is stored in the cold room and the precautions.

The role of cake cold room

1. Because the cake has been fermented and the bacteria are active, it is difficult to preserve it in hot and humid weather, especially at 25-30°C, it will quickly turn sour, resulting in the loss of nutrients and water. After the cake is frozen, the shelf life can be effectively extended.

2. In terms of transportation, after the cake is frozen, it is not easy to deform and can be transported over long distances to meet people's needs for cake delivery.

3. More importantly, the taste of frozen cakes is not worse than that of freshly made cakes, and some tastes are even better.

4. The cake cold room can not only refrigerate freshly made cakes that are sold directly to end consumers, but in more cases, the frozen cakes are mainly used to sell to coffee shops, western restaurants, bars and other places, extending the supply chain.

How cakes are stored in the freezer

The growth and reproduction speed of microorganisms in the cake directly depends on the moisture content and storage temperature of the cake. Under normal circumstances, for cake cold room, the temperature is 0-5°C and the humidity is 85%-95%. Among them, about 3°C is the ideal refrigeration temperature, which can provide the most suitable storage environment for the cake. Under such conditions, the moisture of the cake itself can be maintained, and at the same time, it will not deteriorate, so that the deliciousness of the cake can be kept at its best.

Depending on the type of cake, the storage temperature is also slightly different. For example, a cream cake must be stored at 0-4°C and eaten within 3 hours; if it is a fruit cake (the fruit has not been baked), because fruits are prone to oxidize and deteriorate, so it is recommended to eat it on the same day.

Precautions for storage

1. The cake is best to be completely sealed and properly packaged before being put into the freezer.

2. The packaging is required to be clean, dry, complete, strong, and free from peculiar smell, so as to prevent the cake from getting moldy due to contamination.

3. During the process of putting into the cold storage, due to the delicate and soft characteristics of the cake, it needs to be loaded and unloaded lightly to avoid bumps.
