Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Licorice is generally stored in compressed packing pieces wrapped in linen cloth, each of which is 50kg, stored in a dry and ventilated place, and the safe water content of the goods is 12% 14%. There are more than ten kinds of pests in licorice warehouse, such as coffee bean elephant, domestic antler longicorn beetle, four-star chestnut longicorn beetle, etc., which can be reared with nitrogen or carbon dioxide for 514 hours. all adults and larvae can die, and the endoplasm of licorice has no obvious change.

Licorice storage is generally wrapped in compressed linen packaging, each 50 kg, stored in a dry, ventilated place, the safe moisture content of the commodity 12%~14%. There are more than ten kinds of pests in licorice warehouse, such as coffee bean weevil, domestic antler longicorn, four-star longicorn, etc., which can be treated with nitrogen or carbon dioxide for 514 hours, and all adults and larvae can die. There is no obvious change in licorice endoplasm.

Licorice is easy to mold, if the air humidity is too large, licorice surface is easy to produce mildew spots or white and green hyphae, the following measures can be taken to prevent and control: water content to ensure that 14% below, environmental relative humidity control in 80% below, good packaging seal, the use of pile position and account to wet; chemical fumigation, with 10000:1 ratio of Cubeb volatile oil, sealed fumigation for 6 days, its mold content will be greatly reduced.

The storage life of licorice should not be too long. Some people have studied licorice in different storage periods and found that storage time has a direct effect on the content of licorice, which decreases with the extension of storage time. The storage time of licorice for 1 year is 5.12%, 2 years is 4.24%, and 3 years is 3.08%. It can be seen that the longer licorice is stored, the greater the loss of effective ingredients. Therefore, licorice products should be sold as soon as they are collected, and should not be stored for too long.
