The method of distinguishing whether brown sugar has gone bad;
1, appearance: brown sugar with granular appearance is required not to agglomerate; Square brown sugar must not be scattered, which is the method to judge whether brown sugar is damp, and once brown sugar is damp, it is easy to be attacked by harmful bacteria, molds and other microorganisms, leading to its deterioration. Brown sugar is mainly moldy, and there will be a lot of mold on the surface of brown sugar after it is moldy, so if there is a layer of mold on the surface of brown sugar, it may not be edible anymore. Deterioration of brown sugar can cause gastrointestinal discomfort after eating. In addition, see if there are other impurities in brown sugar, such as mouse excrement, white worms and mildew. ?
2, taste: taste is divided into two aspects, one is smell, the other is taste. Good brown sugar should have the sweetness of sucrose and the smell of molasses. If there are other strange smells, it may be bad, but some materials such as ginger and roses are added to brown sugar, which may have the smell of these ingredients, so pay attention to distinguish them. ?
Correct storage method of brown sugar:
1, brown sugar is generally stored in a dry and ventilated place for no more than two or three months. If the storage time is too long, it will probably affect the quality of brown sugar because it is not in place, which will make it difficult for brown sugar to play its due role. ?
2. Pay attention to the temperature when storing brown sugar. This is because if the brown sugar itself accidentally absorbs a lot of water, once it is placed in a very dry environment, the temperature changes, and the water in the brown sugar itself will evaporate when it is heated, thus making the brown sugar become a solid block. ?
3. The cans that need to be sealed for storing brown sugar can be tin cans, glass cans and plastic cans. It is easy to find such cans in real life, such as some milk powder cans, pickles cans or some snacks cans.
