The invention relates to a waxdip based walnut freshness retaining method. The waxdip based walnut freshness retaining method includes the following steps of husking mature walnuts after picking, timely rinsing and air-
drying the walnut kernels, sterilizing the rinsed and air-dried walnut kernels according to a
flame method, controlling the material feeding speed, and rolling the walnut kernels topass through a
flame region quickly, wherein the sterilization temperature in the
flame region is controlled at 800-900 DEG C, and the sterilization time is 3-6 seconds; after sterilization, allowingthe walnut kernels to enter a
wax tank for
wax dipping, and performing
air cooling. Complete equipment for walnut freshness retaining based on waxdip comprises a walnut husking
machine, an
aeration tank, a spraying facility, a flame sterilization device and the
wax tank. After husking, the newly-picked mature walnuts are fed into the
aeration tank to be soaked; the soaked walnut kernels are cleaned through spray by the spraying facility, and then fed into an air-
drying device; the air-dried and cooled walnut kernels are fed into the flame sterilization device to be sterilized; an outlet of the flame sterilization device is connected with the wax tank. The waxdip based walnut freshness retaining method has the advantages of
environmental protection, no
pollution, high speed, easy operation, good sterilization effect, and capability of storing the fresh walnuts for 180 days or more.
