Mangosteens will react a lot with oxygen in the air when they are stored, which can cause mangosteens to deteriorate. When people preserve mangosteens, they should try their best to preserve them in an environment with less oxygen. They can be stored in sealed containers. When storing mangosteen, try to evacuate the air inside, and then place it in a cool place. The outer shell of mangosteen looks very thick, but its texture is very loose, and the moisture inside is easy to evaporate. If you buy too much at once, seal the mangosteens with plastic wrap or food bags, put them in the refrigerator, and finish them within a week.
First of all, when we buy mangosteens, we must choose fresh mangosteens. Remember to choose those with bright green fruit bases and elastic shells, and the colors must be bright and shiny. Put the mangosteen in a fresh-keeping bag, place it in a cool place, tie the bag tightly, and try to isolate it from contact with the air. This way it can be stored for 3-4 days. Remember not to spray water to extend storage! Spraying water for a short time can make the mangosteen look fresh, but the moisture in the outer shell makes it easier for bacteria to breed and cause the mangosteen to rot and deteriorate.
Low temperature refrigeration can reduce the water loss of mangosteen and reduce the activity of enzymes. Mangosteen is very easy to spoil and become moldy. It is best to eat fresh mangosteen the same day you buy it! Store it in a sealed bag, put the mangosteen in a plastic bag, and then put it in a cellar with a lower temperature. Because there is very little oxygen in the cellar, on the one hand, the original oxygen content of the mangosteen can be retained to prevent aging, so that it can be stored longer. Then put the harvested mangosteen directly into the basket and place it in a cool and ventilated place. After three to five days, the mangosteen will be fully mature. After that, we will clean, screen, and package the mangosteen, and then it can be sent to the market for sale.
Specific method: Wrap the mangosteen with plastic wrap, then put it in a plastic bag and put it in the cold room of the refrigerator. Ensure that the air conditioning temperature is 3-7 degrees. It can be stored for about 7-10 days and sealed. Preservation, oxygen is crucial to humans, but for mangosteen, it will cause deterioration and mold.
