Technical points

①—⑥

(1) material selection. Choose a variety with big kernel and thick skin. Fruits should be harvested in the self-ripening period, and pests and damaged fruits should be removed.

② Grading. Divide the fruits into three grades according to their size.

③ Clean. Wash fresh fruit with clear water.

4. Draw the date. Draw the date with a date marking machine or date marking device. Slice evenly, the spacing is about 1 mm, and each fruit has 50 ~ 80 stripes, up to the pulp thickness of 1/3, and scraping from one end to the other is not allowed. Try to scratch both ends of the jujube.

⑤ Fumigating sulfur. The chopped jujube embryo is put into a sulfur fumigation chamber and fumigated with sulfur accounting for 0.4% of the jujube weight for 2-3 hours until the exocarp turns pale yellow. You can also use 0.5% ~ 0.8% sodium bisulfite solution to soak for 7 ~ 10 hour instead of fumigation.

6. Wash. Wash the sulfur-fumigated jujube blank with clean water 1 time. [ 1]
