Further studies on packaging and storage of some compounded soup powders

Laminated aluminium foil has been found to the best packaing material for storage of compounded soup powders under tropical conditions. At 25^0 C. shelf life of soup powders with medium moisture(3.5-5.5 per cent)and packed in plain sanitary cans is about 8 months which may be extended to about one year in laminated aluminium foil bags. Shelf life is better in low moisture packs compared with medium or high moisture packs
