In a dry refrigerator, the sweetness of peaches will be constantly volatilized, so peaches should be stored at room temperature. The source of sweetness of peaches is not fructose, so unlike other fruits, the more frozen the sweetness, the more sucrose will be produced at around 30℃. The sour taste will also increase with the temperature, so it can inhibit the sour taste when it is stored at15℃ ~ 20℃, but fructose will still act and have the taste of sucrose, so the most appropriate method is to put it in ice water 10-20 minutes.
