FIELD: food industry.
SUBSTANCE: the present innovation refers to the technology for preparing fresh fruit and vegetables for storage. The inspected citrus fruit should be washed in drinking water to be successively kept in the solutions of potassium permanganate and citric acid and in the suspension of preparation obtained out of Pythium catenulatum micromycete biomass, cover fruit stem and adjacent surface with medicinal glue followed by the impact of ultraviolet irradiation. Then one should pack them by the piece into cigarette paper to put into polymer trays. The innovation provides the chance to deliver citrus fruit to a space object followed by storing them for 45 d and applying in cosmic nutrition.
EFFECT: higher efficiency.
