Selection of citrus storage and preservation places

The storage and preservation of citrus fruits is an artificial technical measure to delay the aging of the fruit after harvesting or the mature fruit of the hanging tree, and to maintain its inherent quality as much as possible, so as to achieve the tangled fruit season and the annual supply. Means.

First, the mantle storage

The storage of sweet orange in the mantle is a commonly used storage method for fruit farmers in Nanchong, Sichuan Province. The method is simple and the cost is low. The storage of mantle should not be concentrated in large-scale development, mainly based on the dispersion of fruit farmers.
The mantle should store the following essentials:
1 Selection: Whether you are building indoors or outdoors, you must choose a place with high terrain, low groundwater level, and a solid and dry soil. Usually, it takes a long time (such as half a year) to store the sweet orange. It is advisable to choose an indoor building and an optional outdoor building for storage in a short time (2-3 months).
2 Construction: The shape of the triangle is the most common.
3 Preparation before fruit introduction:
a, repair the bottom. If it is old, it should be repaired and replaced at the month before the entrance, and the topsoil contaminated by the bacteria will be removed. Method can be scraped off with a small shovel along the base and bottom of the wall
1 cm Thick topsoil and replaced with clean new soil.
b, irrigation. In order to maintain a high humidity in the sputum, before entering the sputum, the water should be irrigated according to the dry and wet conditions of the sputum.
-150 kg And then the cover.
c. Disinfection. The cellar is different from the warehouse, not only to be sterilized, but also to kill insects. Generally, in the first half of the first half of the sputum, sneeze with 200 times liquid of Dimethoate, seal it, and kill the pests in the sputum; then use 1:1:100 Bordeaux sneeze or 0.1% carbendazim spray to seal Sterilization, if the cellar with the brown rot of the plague is found, it can be sneeze with 1% copper sulfate solution during disinfection.
4 Selection of sorghum fruit: 窖 Tibetan fruit should be harvested at the right time. It is best to harvest sweet orange in mid-November. It is too early, the quality is poor, too late, although the quality is good, but the rate of decay is high. The fruits of the storage should be strictly controlled to the quality of the harvest, so that it can be handled lightly and without injury. The damaged fruit stagnation is more serious.
5 Fruit intake: The fruits stored in the oysters must be carefully selected and treated with 2,4-D plus fungicide, and dried in a cool, ventilated place. Count the fruits before entering the sputum. Usually, a bottom diameter is about
230 cm The mantle can store about 3,000 sweet oranges. When entering the shackles, one person squats in the squat, and one person uses the fruit basket to deliver fruit. The fruit is discharged into a ring along the wall of the scorpion, the large fruit is on the bottom, the small fruit is on the top, and the fruit pedicle is upward. The second layer is placed between the two fruits of the first layer, arranged in order, and placed 3-5 layers. Leave 25 at the fruit junction -40 cm The space, called "pre-mouth", is used for fruit when turning fruit. The center of the bottom of the scorpion is left with an area equal to the size of the sputum, and the fruit is not used for the management to stand up when the fruit is turned (taken). After the fruit is placed, the gargle is covered with slate.
6 Management after entering the country: After the fruit is entered, there must be someone to manage it. In the initial stage of the entrance, it should be checked in time to remove the damaged fruit to reduce the decaying fruit during storage. After every 10-15 days, the fruit will be turned over every 10-15 days. Before each smashing, the open flame (such as oil lamp) must be used to test the concentration of carbon dioxide in the sputum. If the oil lamp is extinguished, it means that there is more carbon dioxide in the sputum. At this time, people can't squat immediately. Apply a fan to the sputum to remove the carbon dioxide, until the oil lamp ignites normally, or it will suffocate. From the beginning of the mouth, the inspection will be carried out one by one, and the fruits that are not durable for storage, such as brown spotted fruit, mildew fruit, oily undergrowth fruit, and foamed fruit, should be taken out in time. When picking the fruit, pay attention to the good fruit in one hand and the fruit in the first place to reduce the mutual spread of the bacteria. If the diseased brown rot disease fruit (steam fruit) is found, it is necessary to pick out the good fruit that is in contact with the diseased fruit at the same time as the fruit is removed to control the spread of the disease.

Second, ventilation storage

The ventilation library is also called the normal temperature library or the natural ventilation library. It can be built specially, or it can be improved by using a house or cave with a suitable structure. The ventilation storage mainly utilizes the difference between day and night temperature difference and the temperature between the top of the reservoir and the bottom of the reservoir. By adjusting the temperature and humidity of the reservoir, the temperature of the reservoir is kept low and stable. Ventilation storage is the most common storage place in China. It can store all kinds of citrus fruits, and the place of production and sales are applicable.
1 The library should be selected according to the temperature of the winter. Where the winter is warm, the focus of storage fruit management is to reduce the temperature inside the storehouse. Therefore, the storehouse should extend to the east-west direction, and the hillside forests cover the sun in the south, and the northward open space is suitable.
Winter temperature is at
0°C Below, the heat preservation of the warehouse is the key point, so the warehouse should extend to the north and south.
The warehouse requires good insulation and ventilation. In order to adjust the temperature inside the library, make it as small as possible (preferably the daily variation is less than 0.5)
-1.0 °C )
The ventilation storehouse should be built in a convenient place with wide open areas, dry terrain and no irritating smell factory (mine) nearby. The size of the library depends on the amount of fruit stored, but should not be too wide to 7
-10 m Suitable, length is not limited, height (floor to ceiling) 3.5 -4.5 m . Larger libraries can be divided into small rooms, each 30 square meters Therefore, the warehouses in such small rooms can not only be stored separately according to the varieties, but also the temperature and humidity are kept relatively stable, which is beneficial to fruit storage.
Treasury structure. Using double-walled brick walls, the total thickness of the wall
70 cm Left and right, stay in the middle 20 cm Air layer or filled with insulation, such as dry slag; ceiling with ceiling, upper bunk 30 cm Thick dry grass or dry clam shell; buffer room on the side of the warehouse entrance or on the side of the library to avoid direct entry of hot air into the storage room when opening the door; the warehouse usually has double-layered doors facing east. Another feature of the warehouse structure is that it has good ventilation facilities. The top of the warehouse has a suction duct, the eaves have ventilation windows, and the underground has an air inlet duct to form a warehouse ventilation and circulation system. The direction of the underground air duct crossing is to reduce the temperature of the main ventilation, and the crossing is facing north to facilitate the introduction of cooler air. A plug-in damper is installed at the inlet duct to control the air intake and superheated and supercooled air to enter the warehouse, which affects the stability of the storage temperature. The inlet duct of each warehouse is preferably located under the shelves on both sides, and the distribution of the ground air inlets should be even. Air inlet area can be per 10 square meters Warehouse opened 0.14 -0.25 square meters arrangement.
2 Fruit storage fruit storage 2-3 weeks before storage, the warehouse should be disinfected, commonly used sulfur fumigation. Sulfur powder usage in cubic meters per cubic meter
10 grams meter. Since the sulfur powder is not easy to ignite, a small amount of potassium chlorate may be added as a combustion improver. When fumigation, it can be divided into several places according to the size of the warehouse, and the door and window are sealed. After fumigation for 24 hours, open the doors and windows to ventilate, and then close the library door after the library has no sulfur smell.
There are two forms of fruit storage in the storage: storage or storage.
* Heap storage: Available fruit boxes or preserves, the fruit should not be too full, it is appropriate to pack 90%, otherwise the fruit will be crushed. When stacking, whether it is a fruit box or a fruit, the finished glyphs are piled up. The lowest layer applies wood or brick
10 cm Left and right, box and box, set between 2 and 篓 -3 cm Space, in order to facilitate the circulation of air inside the heap. Stacking height of 8-12 boxes or 6-8 inches is appropriate, leaving 0.6 between each pile -1.0 m Aisle to facilitate operation.
* Shelf storage: Install bamboo frame, iron frame and cement frame in the warehouse. The width of the frame is suitable for the relative operation of two people, the number of layers is variable, but the highest layer is at least from the ceiling.
1 meter Above, to facilitate air circulation.
3 The change of temperature and humidity in the management and control warehouse after fruit storage is an important part of the management of the warehouse. After the fruit is put into storage, you should grab both ends and manage the middle.
*In the initial stage of storage (1-2 weeks after storage): The management of the warehouse should be based on cooling and dehumidification. In addition to rain and fog, all ventilation windows will be opened day and night, and the storage room with exhaust fans will be opened at night to enhance ventilation. The temperature and humidity in the library dropped rapidly. Temperature is best controlled
10 ° C Below, the relative humidity is maintained at 85%-90% to facilitate the healing of new injuries. At the same time, the fruit should be turned over in time to take out the damaged fruit for sale.
*In the middle of storage: usually refers to the period from December to the next Spring Festival. The warehouse needs only proper ventilation, for example, in areas where the temperature is below zero in winter, the warehouse needs to take cold protection measures to prevent the fruit from being frozen.
* Late storage: Treasury management is mainly to cool down, and keep the storage temperature as stable as possible. Through the night window ventilation, the exhaust fan warehouse opens the exhaust fan at the same time, strengthens the ventilation, and makes full use of the cold air at night to reduce the temperature of the warehouse. Close the doors and windows and the exhaust window before sunrise to prevent external hot air from entering the warehouse. If the humidity in the warehouse is too low, ground water can be used to increase the humidity in the warehouse. The rot, anthrax and dry water are prone to occur in the later stages of fruit storage and should be noted. The dry stalk is a precursor to the rot; the dry stalk is easily converted into anthrax; the thick rind is easy to dry. Therefore, in the later stage of storage, it is necessary to dilute the fruit, and timely take out dried hazelnuts, dried kiwi fruit and thick skin fruit for sale to reduce fruit loss.
When the citrus fruit is stored and kept fresh, the warehouse should be cleaned in time, and the fruit box, preserved fruit and film should be cleaned and disinfected, and stored in the sun after exposure.

Third, underground storage

The underground warehouse can store all kinds of citrus fruits. It has the advantages of mantle and ground ventilation storage: cold in winter and cool in summer, stable in storage temperature, low gas flow rate, low carbon dioxide concentration, small weight loss, less dryness, good flavor, fresh and full appearance, large storage capacity, good effect, management Convenient and low cost. The underground storage can use the ventilation equipment to introduce the natural cold air outside the warehouse; after the spring, when the outdoor temperature rises, the underground reservoir will accumulate a large amount of cold air due to the surrounding deep soil layer, so that the reservoir temperature will remain low and stable.
1 Site selection and construction of the reservoir site must be selected with high terrain, thick soil, solid soil and good water retention. The top of the library must have
1 meter Above thick insulation layer.
Method of building a library: first fill the soil on the outside of the arched ceiling and squash it to the top of the vault, then lay it
10 cm Thick slag, filled with soil and tightly flattened, then layered with asphalt, and finally covered with dirt or cement to form a thermal insulation layer to reduce the radiant heat of the sun. The mouth of the reservoir faces north, which is conducive to the introduction of natural cold winds in winter. Drainage deep trenches need to be dug around the warehouse and coated with cement slurry to prevent rainwater from seeping into the warehouse. The size of each room in the storeroom should not be too large, with a length of 20 -30 meters ,width 2.4 meters Preferably, the top of the library is arched with bricks. The warehouse and the reservoir wall should not be painted with lime water or mud, so that the bricks maintain their original hygroscopicity and avoid dripping water from the top of the reservoir. The ventilation method of the underground storage can be selected according to the local conditions.
2 The management of the fruit after storage is similar to that of the ventilation library. The difference is that the underground storage has the characteristics of warm winter and cool summer. Therefore, the temperature of the storage is higher than the temperature outside the storage. Therefore, before the storage, the doors and windows of the warehouse should be opened first, and the library should be open for 1-3 days. Store in the warehouse when it is close to the temperature outside the library. Otherwise, the fruit is affected by the higher storage temperature, which will increase the respiration and reduce the storability of the fruit. In addition, the underground reservoir generally has a relatively high humidity, and the fruit is prone to dry water, especially wide-skin citrus. Therefore, the storage of oranges in the underground storage should be pre-stored for 2-3 days in a cool and ventilated place, and the rind should be stored in the warehouse after a slight wilting. To inhibit or reduce the dry water of stored fruits.

Fourth, cold air storage storage Cold air storage can store all kinds of citrus fruits. Its storage is different from normal temperature storage. The warehouse needs to have insulation and refrigeration equipment. It is necessary to manually adjust the temperature requirements according to the storage citrus varieties, so that the temperature inside the storage is suitable for long-term storage of the fruit. The construction of the cold air storage is large and the process is complicated. Currently limited to citrus fruit storage in large and medium cities. However, it is also suitable for local conditions. Because it is simple, it uses a small amount of ventilation, underground storage and air-raid shelters, and is equipped with refrigeration equipment to become a simple cold storage.
