Benefits of Packed Sugar!

Benefits of Packed Sugar!

Sugar acts as a tenderizing and texturing agent in frozen foods and baked foods. For e.g. it increases the effectiveness of yeast providing an immediate and more utilized source of nourishment for its growth. Adding sugar to ice-cream provides body and texture which is perceived as smoothness. It is therefore important to retain the goodness of sugar while packing it to be sent to the retail market.

Loose sugar in gunny bags or jute bags is exposed to atmospheric air and temperature thus reducing its inherent goodness. This sugar when added to food or beverages is likely to ruin its taste and nutrition value. Manufacturers have therefore switched to packed sugar as it is easily preferred by reasonably aware consumers residing in cities and semi-urban areas. Packed sugar is in vogue as it is easy to pick and carry. Sugar Packaging requires accurate filling and packaging solutions that keep the goodness of sugar intact and improve its shelf life. Versatile pouch packaging also defines the solution and its scalability. . Various pouch formats, like Four Side Seal, Re-Sealable Pouches, Pillow Pouch, Pouches with Zippers, etc., are available for sugar packaging that enhance its aesthetics lending a unique identity for the brand.
