I am doing research on the effect of packaging on the non-dairy creamer shelf life. Packaging A is LDPE liner with 100 micron thickness, and packaging B is 150 micron in thickness. Powder is kept on the ambient temperature, moisture is measured every 2 months.
Result:
No difference in moisture content and aW during 24 months shelf life, however powder in packaging B showed much improvement in caking.
Can anyone suggest what mechanism lies behind this phenomenon?
Thank you
