Supermarket shelves are often sold with a large number of products, so their shelf life needs to be guaranteed so that when reaching consumers, the quality does not decline. Therefore, farms or manufacturers have packaged the product to create a vacuum environment that is less susceptible to air penetration so that the shelf life of the sauce is longer and does not lose its taste when it reaches customers. row.

3.2. Refrigerate at the right temperature


The products sold in the supermarket have a long shelf life and because the refrigerator in the supermarket always maintains a stable temperature, the sauces are always well preserved. Besides, keeping the product with low vibration stable on the shelf with air conditioning makes the surrounding environment unable to affect the quality of the sauce.

3.3. Store spices at low temperature


Low temperatures are often chosen to protect fresh foods from decay and odors, and can also be used to preserve sauces. Especially the sauce, after opening the lid, used 1-2 times, the more it needs to be refrigerated. However, all canned or sealed products, once opened, will not be able to extend the shelf life as provided by the manufacturer.
Therefore, even if refrigerated, the risk of mold growth cannot be completely prevented. Users who want to preserve it well need to pay attention to using a separate tool to take the sauce and wrap it tightly, then put it in the refrigerator to limit the spoilage to the highest degree.

3.4. Not all is good if stored in the refrigerator


Some condiments such as wine, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar... do not require too low a temperature to preserve. Therefore, you can put them in the bottom compartment of the refrigerator or even leave them outside if the ambient temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius they will not spoil. In fact, some spices will lose their inherent physical properties if refrigerated, so they only need to be stored in a cool, dry place. Honey has a relatively low moisture content and exists in a paste form, so if put in the refrigerator, it is easy to freeze into pieces, making it difficult to use.
With some spices, you can split into a bag or box for each serving. The sauce will be difficult to preserve if you leave the large box intact each time you take it out or unfortunately the children use spoons and chopsticks to scoop it directly.
In order to minimize the moss and the delicious taste of the sauce, you can divide them into small portions to suit your needs each time, which is both convenient and easy to keep as fresh as new.
There have been cases where, no matter how carefully you store sauces or preserve spices, it is not guaranteed that they will last for a long time. Therefore, to prevent the spread of bacteria, remove the damaged area and carefully store the rest for future use.
Preserving sauces is not easy, because they depend on the characteristics of each type, so you need to pay attention and learn carefully when preserving. Don't let an unnecessary mistake make the dish lose its delicious taste or put you and your family at risk of food poisoning.
