Natural Beeswax: Food Preservation the Modern Way
Antimicrobial Properties: Natural beeswax contains antimicrobial substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold in food items. Natural beeswax that is coated and applied on such food items prevents microbial infection, thereby increasing the effective storage period and shelf life of such food items.
Moisture Preservation: Food items are blissfully exposed to moisture which is one of the catalyzing substances that facilitates spoilage and these food items become unfit for use. Spoilage of food can be prevented with the use of natural beeswax wraps as it doesn’t permit moisture to penetrate the food. This natural beeswax characteristic is very useful when wrapping cheeses, fruits, or baked goods.
Preservation of Wrapping Items: Natural beeswax, unlike plastic wraps, enables food to breathe, thereby regularly altering the humidity level to the appropriate extent. This characteristic of natural beeswax prevents foods from going stale and ensures that there is no excess moisture to induce auto-decomposition of the food items.
Uses of natural beeswax for food preservation
Wrapping Cheese and Meats: Natural beeswax wrappings work perfectly for both cheese and meats. Thesewrappings help avoid certain factors like dehydration that are known to cause dry meat and cheese, helping these wraps avoid causing cheesiness that often comes with plastic wraps. Natural beeswax's breathability also guarantees that these consumable products do not spoil easily.
Fruit Preservation: The shelf life of fruits like apples, oranges, and avocados can be significantly increased by applying a light layer of natural beeswax. Ripening and decaying processes take longer with the coating of beeswax since natural beeswax decreases the production and intake of ethylene gas that is present in fruits.
Bread and Pastry Preservation: To preserve the texture of bread and pastries, they can be wrapped using natural beeswax coated papers or cloths. Staleness is better achieved with these natural beeswax wraps than with other prevailing options.
