How to store drone homogenate
Depending on the type of preservation of the drone homogenate, the method of its storage is also determined. It should immediately be noted that drone homogenate is a perishable product, and the rules for storing drone homogenate must be strictly observed. Let's look at how to store drone homogenate at home.
At what temperature is drone homogenate stored?
How to store drone homogenate? Due to the presence of a large number of “live” components (enzymes, hormones) in the homogenate, it is very critical to the conditions of production and, especially, storage. So, in particular, natural drone homogenate loses its properties when exposed to direct sunlight, as well as if stored at room temperature for more than 1 hour. Therefore, the pressing question is how to preserve drone homogenate for a long time.
How long can drone homogenate be stored in the refrigerator?
Native homogenate can be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of +2–5°C for no more than 24 hours, and at a temperature of -5–8°C for up to 30 days. As you can see, fresh homogenate cannot be stored in the refrigerator for a long time. For longer storage periods, drone homogenate must be preserved in a special way.
How long can drone homogenate be stored in the freezer?
As already mentioned, drone homogenate cannot be kept at temperatures above 0°C for a long time. The native product, without treatment with preservatives or freezing, drone homogenate is stored at stable low temperatures in a freezer or in a Dewar container.
Storing drone homogenate with honey
Drone homogenate shelf life. Drone homogenate preserved with honey, alcohol or powdered sugar in a ratio of 1 to 1 at temperatures around 0 C will not be stored for a long time. Such drone homogenate must be stored at temperatures from -15-20 C. If drone homogenate is stored at higher temperatures, the product quickly (several months) deteriorates.
Where to store drone homogenate
Where to store drone homogenate? When preserving drone homogenate with honey in a ratio of 1:50, or when preserving 40% alcohol in a ratio of 1:50, drone homogenates are stored in a household refrigerator for 30 months.
Adsorbed with a mixture of lactose and glucose, after drying, the drone homogenate is stored in a household refrigerator for up to 36 months.
So, storing drone homogenate for a long period in a household refrigerator is possible if it is mixed with honey, alcohol in a certain proportion or adsorbed.
