There are bad fruits, they will also release a lot of ethylene, need to be taken out of the fruit pile immediately, avoid contact with other fruits.
Don’t wash off the pectin:
The surface of fruit is protected by natural pectin, which prevents water loss as well as microbial infestation. If you store fruits in the refrigerator, you don’t need to wash them before putting them in the refrigerator, as the pectin can easily be washed off during the washing process. Sort the fruit into different categories and put the easily damaged fruits into the crisper to avoid being crushed in the refrigerator.
Exhaust oxygen:
Fruits like mangosteen, grapes as well as raisins can easily oxidize and rot. Therefore, when preserving these fruits, not only do you need to refrigerate them at low temperatures, but also try to expel as much oxygen as possible from them so that they do not oxidize and spoil. After putting fruits such as mangosteen, grapes, and raisins into a plastic bag, take care to gently press the air inside to expel it before placing it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. You also need to be careful to pick out the bad fruit and throw it away to prevent it from affecting other intact fruits.
