# Cold storage of HFCS: does temperature control really prevent crystallisation?

Fructose syrups can crystallise or thicken in cold weather, and handling practices vary a lot between plants.

- What storage temperature do you target, and do you heat before use?
- Have you ever had a tank crystallise, and how did you recover it?
- Does the DE or fructose level change your storage rules?

Would like to hear what actually works in colder regions and during winter shipping.
