Winter Melon Filling For Cantonese Mooncake Features
1. Improve water activity and increase shelf life
The water activity of winter melon filling For Cantonese Mooncake is regulated between 0.78 and 0.82. Through precise dehydration and sugar-oil balance technology, it effectively inhibits the reproduction of microorganisms, making the shelf life at room temperature up to 90 days. The formula uses maltose and a small amount of glycerin to replace part of the water, taking into account both flavor and storage safety, especially suitable for Mid-Autumn mooncake orders that need to be exported remotely.
2. Fiber texture, balanced multiple taste structures
winter melon filling For Cantonese Mooncake uses 2.0mm winter melon shreds to retain the original plant fiber, with a layered taste. When paired with hard or delicate ingredients such as bean paste, nuts, and salted egg yolks, there will be no taste conflict. The refreshing texture of winter melon shreds can also balance the greasiness of nut ingredients, enhance the overall chewing experience, and improve the repurchase rate and consumer impression of the finished product.
