Storage method of garlic

There are many storage methods of garlic, such as hanging storage, heap storage, cold storage, radiation storage, chemical treatment and storage according to the storage purpose and conditions. Here are three specific methods:

1. when you harvest garlic, you should strictly select the garlic you are going to store, and get rid of those that are too small, rotten stems and leaves, damaged and rainy. Then leave it on the ground to dry for a few days until the leaves become soft and several layers of garlic skin have dried. Finally, 100 braids with the same size of garlic were selected and hung in the cool, ventilated and rainy eaves factory to make them air-dried and stored.

two。 After the garlic is harvested by the stacking method, the loose cloves, worm worms, moldy stalks and injured garlic are removed, and the garlic is first tied into a bundle of 100 heads, which are arranged upright and arranged in a row on the ground to dry the leaves. After the leaves are dried, the garlic roots are dried, and the garlic is dried for 7 weeks. Choose a cool and ventilated place to store. When the garlic is stored, the garlic should be removed from the garlic pile for 5 days to let the garlic dry, no matter whether it is cloudy or sunny. The garlic should be hung in the morning and sealed in the evening so as not to rot in the rain. Every other week or so, there will be a second lookout. Repeat this twice to dry all the garlic, and then transfer it to a cool and ventilated place for storage.

3. Radiation storage radiation treatment is to use the γ-ray lethal dose of cobalt 60 14000 Coulomb / kg to irradiate garlic. When irradiated, the γ-ray passing through the bulb will ionize the water and other substances in the body and produce free radicals or ions, thus inhibiting metabolism. This method has the advantages of simple and high fresh-keeping quality, and can be stored for 2 years at room temperature. For commercial storage, the loss can be greatly reduced.
