First of all, dry sea cucumber should try to choose products without external packaging and additives to ensure their purity and quality. Then, put the dry sea cucumber into a sealed bag, and ensure that the air in the bag is removed as much as possible, which can reduce the oxidation reaction in the freezing process.
Freezing is to slow down the growth of microorganisms by lowering the temperature of goods below freezing point, thus maintaining the freshness of food. Dry sea cucumber can be preserved for a long time under proper freezing conditions. Generally speaking, dry sea cucumber can be preserved in the frozen state for about 6 months to 1 year.
However, too long freezing time or improper storage conditions may lead to the quality decline of dry sea cucumber. Dry sea cucumber may have some problems such as hard texture and poor taste during cryopreservation. Therefore, when freezing dry sea cucumber, pay attention to the following points to help extend the shelf life:
1. Use high-quality sealed bags and try to remove air from the bags.
2. Keep it in a constant temperature refrigerator to avoid repeated thawing and freezing.
3. Try to divide dry sea cucumber into small pieces, which is more convenient for freezing and thawing, and also helps to maintain the quality.
4. Try to avoid being exposed to room temperature for a long time, especially when thawing.
In a word, dry sea cucumber can be stored in the frozen state for 6 months to 1 year, but the storage quality is closely related to the storage conditions. In order to ensure the freshness and quality of food, it is suggested to eat freeze-dried sea cucumber as soon as possible, and not to prolong the storage time excessively.
