What is Effects of Storage Temperature and Packaging Material on Physico-chemical, Microbial and Sensory Properties and Shelf Life of Extruded Composite Baby Food Flour about?
## Background The storability and eventual quality of flour is influenced by the optimality of the storage conditions. The present study assessed the effect of storage temperature on extruded composite flour packed in different packages. ## Methods Oats, soybean, linseed and premix (sugar, salt, Moringa & fenugreek) were blended and extruded. The extruded flour was packed in paper, polyethene and woven polypropylene bags and stored at -18, 25, 35, 45 °C. Moisture content, fat content, water activity, bulk density, aroma, color and microbial load were measured fortnightly for three months. ## Results The physico-chemical and sensory properties of the flour samples were significantly (p < 0.05) affected by the storage temperature and packaging material along the storage period. The highest moisture content (4.02 g/100g) was recorded on the 90^th^ day of storage for flour stored in polypropylene bag at -18 °C. The highest water activity (0.68) was recorded from flour packed in woven polypropylene bags stored at 25 °C for 45 days and flour packed in paper bags at days 15 and 45 at 35 °C, whereas the lowest aw (0.18) was recorded for samples stored for 90 days at 45 °C packed in polypro
