When it comes to spice grinders, flavour preservation is essential. For spice producers, the quality of seasoning is affected directly by the flavours themselves, as well as how well these flavours are preserved. Spices that are high in aroma and flavour initially, only to lose their flavour within a short space of time, can have an impact on customer perception and brand reputation. Choosing the right spice grinders and bottles is, therefore, crucial to ensure that flavours and freshness are both preserved.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the role grinders play in preserving seasoning flavours, to help you choose the best grinders and bottles to optimise the lifespan of flavours.
Choosing the Best Spice Grinders for Seasoning Flavour Preservation
Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind when choosing wholesale spice grinders.
Grinder Mechanisms
Different spices require different grinding mechanisms to release their flavours. Global Grinders offers a range of options that are designed for various spice types. In-line adjustable grinders are ideal for course seasoning such as salt and pepper, allowing the choice between coarse or fine grind. Grinders like EcoClassic, on the other hand, deliver a smooth, consistent grind. Choosing grinders that are made specifically for seasoning types ensures that spices are ground to the perfect consistency, maximising flavour release as spices are ground.
Bottles
The material of the bottle plays a significant role in flavour preservation. Glass bottles are excellent for storing spices as they do not release any unwanted flavours. They also protect contents from UV light, which can degrade the quality of spices over time. Global Grinders also offers high-quality PET bottles, which are known for their durability and barrier properties. These bottles ensure that the spices are kept safe from physical damage as well as air and moisture, which can dilute flavours and reduce shelf life.
Sprinklers Flip-top sprinklers also need to be made from material that does not affect the flavour longevity of spices. Used alongside bottles and liners, closures should be made from high-quality, durable material that is not prone to cracks or damage. Poor-quality plastic can have an effect on flavour, especially if closures are not designed to fit bottles properly. Failing to use protective measures such as liners can affect flavour and freshness even further.
Induction Liners
To seal in freshness and extend the shelf life of spices, induction liners are essential. These liners help to create an airtight seal once the grinder or bottle is closed, preventing air entry and moisture exchange. This technology is particularly important for spices that are sensitive to environmental changes, as well as very fine spices, as it helps maintain their potency and flavour for longer periods.
