How to store nectarines in the refrigerator

Refrigeration

The suitable refrigeration temperature is -0.5℃-0℃, and the relative humidity is 90%. If it is to be stored for a long time, the temperature of the cold storage must be strictly controlled, and the storage temperature cannot fluctuate. It is possible to freeze below -1℃. In the early stage of nectarine storage, proper ventilation can be carried out. Under low temperature conditions, chilling damage symptoms will appear after 2 weeks. When moved to a high temperature environment for ripening, the flesh will become dry, cottony, and soft, and the flesh around the core will obviously turn brown. In severe cases, patterns can be seen on the outer skin, and the skin color is dull and matte, and the flavor changes. Nectarines stored at 2℃-5℃ are more likely to deteriorate than nectarines stored below 0℃.

The more storable varieties can be stored for 4 weeks under stable conditions of -0.5℃-0℃ with good quality.

Warm reminder: If nectarines are refrigerated for too long, they will become bland, so their storage period should not be too long.
