one of mandarin and juicy, but the others appear to be gortdroog. There is no one you can rely on is what you will find after you peel off of your mandarin chinese. Or is it? And you’ll be a dried-up tangerine to recognize, or, better still, prevent it?

the Mandarin oranges come in many shapes and sizes. This makes it difficult to give a true answer to this question is to indicate, according to Ernst Woltering, professor of productfysiologie and the quality of the Wageningen University and Research.

finally, there are the mandarins, such as satsuma, which is a bit of loose skin and have. “They are easy to peel off and that is what we would like,” says Woltering. “A single shell could also be an indication of a mandarin orange, it is too dry, but it doesn’t.”

Dehydration occurs due to aging
When drying out plays a maturation, or aging, is a major role in this. “This may be due to the fact they only leave when they reach the consumer, but it could also have to do with the time of harvest,” explains Woltering from it.

Not a single farmer would, of course, have to wait for a long time with a pick, because that means the risk of a lost harvest. Woltering: “the Mandarins, however, need to have a certain ratio of sugar and acid before they are allowed to be sold. As long as they are on the tree, the sweet and the sour finish.”

now, If the weather conditions are less favourable – for example, for a period of time, with a little sun – then they need to be for that reason for a longer part of the tree to remain. “As a result, it is possible that the mandarin oranges are already pretty mature at the moment they are in the store.”

Dehydration occurs due to excessive temperature < / p> Tangerines as well as dry out because they are too long, at too high a temperature,” explains Woltering from it. “Most of the time they are harvested when they are green. Frequently the colors they’re naturally orange, but sometimes they need a little help.”

you will be in a warm environment is preserved and treated with ethylene, which is a natural rijpingshormoon. “Production of ethylene causes the green chlorophyll is broken down, and the orange pigments are produced. In this process, at the same time, with a loose skin, and dryness can cause.”

“the Mandarins come from Spain, Morocco, and Turkey, as well as from Brazil, china, and New Zealand.”

Jacco, the Long beginning, the market trader

at beginning, the market trader Jacco de Lange sold the entire year by the mandarins in his mind. “From October to February is the high point. We are now in the middle of the best. Mandarin oranges come primarily from Spain, Morocco, and Turkey, as well as from Brazil, china, and New Zealand.”

He sees a regular customer who is complaining of a dry mandarin oranges from the grocery store. “In order to avoid the dry mandarins to sell, we will stop at the time, and with some breeds. So stop with the clemenules from Spain. In their place, the mandarins of France. In February, we are again Spanish, mandarin oranges, but of a different breed in that period of time shall be made.” it is Difficult to see the status of the mandarin, to appreciate,

Consumers will be able to, according to The Long and Woltering so, unfortunately, is not a good idea of how moist the mandarin is going to be. “Mandarin oranges with a clean skin, you can feel free to buy it. If you take them when the skin is loosened. But don’t let them get too long, you can dry them too much.”

now, the shell already in the shop, this is known as ‘puffy’ as they are called, there is a good chance that the pulp has dried out.

to Prevent the mandarins dry out, it is not possible. You can stop the process or slow it down they just put in the refrigerator to preserve it.
