【Properties and Tastes】

【Nutritional Value】

Peach gum is rich in natural plant polysaccharides (including galactose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid), which form its unique gelatinous texture. It contains abundant dietary fiber, which is beneficial for intestinal peristalsis and digestive health. Additionally, peach gum is a source of minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium. Calcium supports bone health, iron helps in blood formation, and magnesium participates in multiple enzymatic reactions. It is low in protein and fat, with hydrophilic components that help lock in moisture for skin nourishment.

【Storage Methods】

• Store peach gum in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid high-humidity environments to prevent mold growth and clumping. Direct sunlight should also be avoided to prevent color darkening and texture deterioration.
• Keep them in airtight containers, such as sealed glass jars or heavy-duty plastic bags. This helps prevent moisture absorption, oxidation, and pest infestation. Properly stored dried peach gum can be preserved for an extended period.
• Regularly check the stored peach gum for signs of spoilage, such as mold, abnormal discoloration, or off-odors. Remove any spoiled pieces immediately to avoid contamination of the entire batch.
