Durian with a hard shell, no matter how the seller emphasizes, will not affect the quality of the flesh, so be careful when buying, the hard shell indicates that the durian is old.From a scientific point of view, durian's shell is a complete fruit peel, which is the same as the "skin and flesh" of the apple we usually refer to.

And the edible "flesh" of durian is actually some attached buds (false seeds).

When the durian is on the tree, the shell and flesh receive the water supply from the tree, once it is taken off the tree, it is like two brothers separated, each taking care of themselves.Durian's shell may seem thick, but its texture is loose, and the pores between them quickly release water.

More importantly, the combination between the shell and flesh is not very tight, when the shell loses water (the most obvious feature is that the shell becomes hard), the flesh is still indifferent.

However, it's better to be safe than sorry, even if the dehydrated shell is no longerLikePeach

Shell can protect the inside.Air from the above pores rushes in, and durian is also a fruit that loves to breathe (respiration, consumes sugar, and produces acid and aldehydes that affect the taste), so it spoils very quickly.In addition, the enzyme in durian flesh will destroy the pectin that maintains the shape of the flesh.After harvesting, the enzyme starts to work, and its activity gradually increases.Added external oxygen, until the flesh turns yellow and rusty, which is inedible.To keep durian fresh for a longer time, refrigeration is essential: at low temperatures, it can reduce the loss of water in the shell, and also reduce the activity of the fruit, and can also reduce the activity of the enzyme.In addition, try to seal it to avoid the invasion of oxygen, which is also a key to preservation.In summary, putting durian in a sealed bag and putting it in the refrigerator can extend the enjoyment time.After harvesting, the pectinase begins to work, and its activity gradually increases.Adding external oxygen, until the flesh turns yellow and rusty red, making it inedible.

To keep the durian fresh for a few more days, low temperature is essential: At low temperatures, it can reduce the loss of water from the peel, while also reducing the respiration of the fruit, and can also reduce the activity of pectinase.In addition, try to seal it to avoid the invasion of oxygen, which is also a key to preservation.Overall, putting the durian in a sealed bag and then putting it in the refrigerator can extend the consumption time.
