As mentioned in the previous section, in order to keep the contents of tangerine peel well for subsequent transformation, soTangerine peel should not be exposed to the sun often, nor should it be often blown in strong winds or in the open air for a long time. Why does Xinhui tangerine peel have to be dried, but it can't be exposed to the sun often?
Drying is a means of drying, not the normal storage of tangerine peel.
As the saying goes: ". .New skins are dried every year, and old skins are less served”。Xinhui people and Xinhui Chen Pi have been dealing with each other for many years, and they have long figured out the "secrets" of management. Different batches of tangerine peel in different years have their own characteristics and different care methodsNot all tangerine peels have to be dried.
Citrus peels and tangerine peels in low years have high water content and high sugar content, so they need to be dried more often, and proper "drying of the peel" can reduce the possibility of mold and insect damage.
Affected by light, temperature, oxygen and other factors, the volatile oil and other components of tangerine peel will also change.
Therefore, it is necessary to "dry new skins every year".
The tangerine peel of the high vintage has a lower water content and is more well transformed, and it is already relatively dryThe traits are also relatively stable and less affected by the external environmentEven if exposed to humid air, it is not easy to soften by moisture, so there is not much need for sunFor old tangerine peel, it is more important to "seal" and "retain incense (polyfragrance)".
If there are no problems such as insects and mold, you don't need to care about the old tangerine peel and let it be transformed naturallyTouching it less will reduce the chance of breakageis a better way to deal with it.
Therefore, it is necessary to "take care of the old skin less".
The daily care of tangerine peel needs to be differentiated according to different years.
The characteristics of citrus peel are the most unstable, susceptible to environmental influences, and are easily softened by moisture, mold and moths.
This period is a critical period for the transformation of tangerine peel, which is more susceptible to environmental influences, and is prone to softening by moisture in humid weather. The aging effect of tangerine peel with different aging conditions will vary greatly.
The management methods of the above two are basically similar:
Check it regularly and dry it at the right timeBreathable drying can well help the tangerine peel of low years to "color", speed up the aging process, at least once a year, more can be dried two to three times, if there are mold, moths and other problems, four or five times a year for insect and mildew prevention, no problem. The higher the vintage, the less often it can be dried.
2.Dry warehouse aging toPay attention to ventilationKeep the storage environment ventilated and dry, and use breathable materials such as sacks and woven bags for storage, and the aging effect is good.
Pay attention to moistureIn case of humid weather, it is necessary to add a container with good sealing to seal, and if possible, a dehumidifier and hygrometer can be placed in the room where the citrus peel is stored, and the relative humidity can be kept below 70% to effectively reduce mildew and insect moth.
4.The key to care is to maintain a balance between breathability and tightness to ensure the aging effect.
1.Generally, the tangerine peel of more than ten years has low water content and relatively stable propertiesIt can be sunburned once a year, or it doesn't have much impact if it is not sunburnedIn humid weather, the inspection can be strengthened, and it can be found that the moisture becomes soft or there are insects and mildew.
2.Ensure that the leather body is dry, and can be put into glass jars, metal cans, etcThe container with good sealing has incense inside, and it can be opened for ventilation when it is dry.
1.The old tangerine peel with a particularly high vintage is dry, hard, light, thin and brittle as a wholeIt is easy to break, so be sure to use a rigid container that can withstand external pressure for storage to reduce fragmentation, metal cans, glass bottles, ceramic cans are acceptable.
2.The old tangerine peel does not need to be breathable frequently, and the sealed storage can better retain the fragrance and gather fragranceThere is no need to turn or care for it without special circumstances.

I am a tangerine peel family, and I believe that old tangerine peel can tell stories.
Focus on the dissemination of Xinhui tangerine peel culture, welcome to pay attention.
