Is the bread bought in this weather suitable for storage in the refrigerator or outside?

Recent research shows that bread stored in refrigerator is easier to dry, harden and fall off, so it is better to store nutrition and taste at room temperature.

The reason why bread is hard and scum is because the starch in it has aged. In the process of bread making, starch will absorb water and swell; When baking, starch will gelatinize and its structure will change, thus making bread soft and elastic; In the process of storage, the volume of starch is shrinking, and the gas inside escapes, which makes the bread hard and dry, which is also commonly known as aging.

There are many factors that lead to bread aging, and temperature is one of them, which will directly affect the hardening speed of bread. Studies show that bread hardens quickly when stored at low temperature. When stored at higher temperature, the hardening speed of bread is slow; If it exceeds 35℃, it will affect the color and flavor of bread. Therefore, 2 1℃-35℃ is the most suitable storage temperature of bread, while the temperature of freezer is about 2℃-6℃, which will accelerate the aging of bread.

However, cryopreservation is not without its merits. Its most important function is to prevent bread from going bad. Whether a bread is suitable for storage at room temperature or low temperature should be judged from the following aspects: first, whether the bread is added with mildew inhibitor and whether the packaging material used is waterproof. If these two points are consistent, it can be stored at room temperature and is not easy to deteriorate; Second, there is not much sugar and oil in the bread. If it is fresh milk bread or bread with stuffing such as meat and eggs, it is best to keep it in the refrigerator, otherwise it will go bad easily.
