How to wash and store dragon fruits?

2022-08-08

The color change of dragon fruit is the main indicator of ripeness. In principle, the pitaya peel can be harvested after it has completely turned red. If the maturity is too high, the scales will be aged and wilted, and if the maturity is too low, the sugar content of the fruit will be low, which will affect the taste. We recommend "picking when the content of soluble solids is 16-19%. After picking, dragon fruit usually needs to be cleaned by Colead Fruit Washing Machine and selected with a Fruit Sorting Machine and Fruit Sterilization Machine to kill harmful bacteria and microorganisms to the greatest extent."

"The washed and sorted dragon fruit is usually put into the transfer basket and quickly transferred to the cold storage for pre-cooling." It is worth noting that the temperature of cold pre-cooling is recommended to be set at 5-8 °C, the pre-cooling time is controlled within 24 hours, and the incision is healed without visible moisture. Because the pre-cooling time is too long, the water will be lost, and the scale peel will lose water."

In the packing process, dragon fruit usually undergoes fresh-keeping treatment. "Customers can put a fresh-keeping card or a fresh-keeping bag in the packaging. The function of the fresh-keeping product is to reduce the respiration rate of the fruit, delay the aging of the fruit, and can inhibit the aging of the scales and maintain the firmness of the fruit.
