How to store fruit, flowers, and cocoa with silica gel

The presence of humidity inside packaging represents one of the main causes of deterioration for natural products such as dried fruit, flowers, and cocoa. Molds, oxidation, loss of aroma or color are just some of the consequences that can compromise product quality and lead to economic losses. For this reason, it is essential to adopt effective humidity control solutions, both during storage and during transport.

Silica gel: a reliable and versatile desiccant

Silica gel is one of the most widely used dehydrating materials at an industrial level due to its high capacity to absorb humidity. Odorless, chemically stable, and safe, it is available in granules or beads and is often enclosed in breathable sachets that can be easily inserted into packaging. Thanks to its effectiveness, it is used in numerous sectors: pharmaceutical, food, electronic, and cosmetic. It is particularly suitable for preserving delicate products, such as dried flowers, dehydrated fruit, and cocoa beans, protecting them from climatic variations and humid environments.

Storage: applications and methods of use

The use of silica gel in the preservation of natural raw materials is simple but requires attention to the quantities and correct positioning within the packaging.

• For dried flowers, silica gel allows aesthetic characteristics to be maintained, preventing yellowing or deformation of the petals.
• In dried fruit, it prevents the reappearance of humidity and prolongs the product's shelf life, maintaining its consistency and taste.
• In the case of cocoa, the use of desiccant sachets inside containers or packaging helps protect beans and powders from condensation and contamination, safeguarding their aroma and integrity.
