1, sealed bag seal
It is suggested that a linen bag or canvas bag should be set first, and then a sealed bag should be set, which can increase the oxygen content in the sealed bag and reduce the permeability of the sealed bag when it is cut by dried tangerine peel. For dried tangerine peel, the aging effect of using sacks and cotton bags is better. Good moisture absorption, strong ventilation and air permeability, rapid water loss, woven bags or plastic bags can also isolate some pests from invasion, have a certain degree of sealing without losing air permeability, and can accelerate the aging of dried tangerine peel. But the storage of sacks and cotton bags needs a relatively dry environment.
2, glass bottle sealing
There are many glass bottles used in daily families, which have the advantages of good ornamental and sealing performance, and are convenient for daily observation of dried tangerine peel, but have the disadvantages of poor air permeability and slow aging. Before putting dried tangerine peel into a glass bottle for storage, carefully observe and make sure that the bottle is dry before putting it into a glass bottle. If the water content in dried tangerine peel is high, the water is not easy to disperse in the sealed environment of glass bottles, which is more likely to cause skin burning and mildew.
3. Tietong or tin can seal
Iron drums and tin cans have good sealing and moisture resistance, as well as good shading and fragrance retention, and are also containers used more in daily families; But also, the aging effect is relatively slow. Make sure the dried tangerine peel is dry before putting it into the metal can. When stored in tin cans, cotton paper (paper towels) can be used to cover the dried tangerine peel and the bottom of the bucket, which has a certain moisture absorption effect.
Misunderstanding of tangerine peel storage
1, it is one of the misunderstandings to seal the freshly dried tangerine peel in bags or cans immediately. Reason: The dried tangerine peel has hot air, so it will sweat when it is bagged and stored immediately, causing the tangerine peel to become moldy and burn.
2. Many people like convenience and put dried tangerine peel in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. This is the second misunderstanding. Reason: Preserving dried tangerine peel in refrigerator prevents the oxidation of dried tangerine peel with air, which will slow down or interrupt its aging process and fail to achieve the effect of keeping it healthy for a long time. In addition, the temperature and humidity change greatly, which will not only make the dried tangerine peel damp, but also cause the odor of dried tangerine peel and other foods.
3. Many people think that fresh orange peel can be preserved for a long time as long as it is dried once and sealed. This is the third misunderstanding. Reason: The first three years are the unstable period of orange peel, and the main purpose of sun-drying is to prevent moisture, insects and mildew, so as to increase the shelf life and quality of orange peel.
4. Put the dried tangerine peel in a bag and store it directly on the ground. This is the fourth misunderstanding. Reason: there is moisture on the ground, and the moisture absorption of dried tangerine peel will cause mildew and moth-eaten.
