What is the shelf-life of the final cake, while using the PentaCake?
The shelf-life of the cake is mainly determined by the following factors: (1) type and quality of the raw materials used (mainly the fat types and quality), (2) baking conditions, (3) sanitary conditions, (4) packaging, (5) storage conditions, (6) amount of added sorbate (in some countries the allowed amount is lower than the 0.2% of the EU/US), (7) modifications in the recommended cake recipes (if done). Generally, while the conditions are optimal, the shelf-life of most of the final cake ranges between 3-6 months, while in some cases the shelf life is even more than one year. On the other hand, in improper conditions (mostly – insufficient baking or poor hygienic conditions) the shelf life may be even less than one month. Thus, every cake factory has to determine the shelf-life of the cakes by itself, according to its own conditions and criterions of shelf-life. As a policy, we do not officially give any guarantee for the final cakes shelf life.
