CULTIVATION AND PROCESSING VANILLI(PART 6)

-
agricultural SELECTION OF FRESH FRUITS
Picked fruits are collected in a room and selected again before being processed.Fruits are grouped by size. And in [poke between the old and the young. If there is a defective fruit, or less good should also be separated separately.Fruits are grouped by size, ie large, medium and small. The purpose is to facilitate processing. Because the time required to wipe or dry the large fruit is not the same as the small ones.
 PROCESSING VANILLA
Vanilla can be sold in the form of fresh or processed. If do not want to bother generally farmers sell it in the form of fresh (



still green).
 And if you want to process it, the price can reach several times more than fresh vanilla.There are various ways to process vanilla, usually each region is different. But the principle is the same, that is through the stages of withered, extortion (fermentation), drying and storage.

Withered

The first stage after vanilla is picked is wilting. The goal is to kill live cells or stop vegetative growth, and encourage the working of enzymes for the formation of vanillin and aroma.Without the wilted aroma typical vanilla will not be formed.wilting is done by dipping vanilla fruit into hot water 65c. The duration of dyeing depends on its grade. Large fruit (length 18-22 cm) dipped for 2.5 minutes. Whereas small and medium fruits (length less than 18 cm)
dyed for 2 minutes. Foraging at high and too long temperatures can damage the enzyme in the vanilla fruit.

To dip the vanilla fruit in hot water is usually used bamboo basket. Fresh vanilla fruit is put into a bamboo basket, then put in a container of hot water for 2-2.5 minutes.and than lifted and drained until the water does not drip.

D RYING 1 AND MATURATION This drying and ripening is done alternately for 5-7 days.   The wilted vanilla was drained, then dried in an oven at 60-65c for 3 hours. This drying can also be done with drying under the sun for 3 hours. After three hours of drying, as soon as vanilla is inserted into the maturation box. The goal, to stimulate the creation of a distinctive aroma of vanilla.In this cure will occur enzymatic reactions, changes glukovanillin into glucose and vanillin so arise typical. Vanilla is still hot when put into a ripening box. which is closed and insulated, and left for one day. The next day it was dried again for 3 hours, then again. The drying and maturation was done alternately for 5-7 days.   Drying 2 Drying 2 aims to decrease moisture content up to a maximum limit of 35% as per the quality standard.When too dry vanilli will break easily.There are three ways of drying that can be applied at this stage. The first way, the drying is not done under the h

PHILODENDRON GOLD FINGER

Image
The shape of the leaf is like the fingers of the hand. The color is bright yellow with a protruding leaf bone. That's why he was nicknamed the Philodendrom Gold Finger, the golden finger. The number of fingers is 4-6 pairs, with the pointed end. The surface is slippery with a slightly protruding leaf bone. The length of the golden finger leaves is foam up to 40 cm. with a width of 20-25 cm. The leaves appear from the tip of the stem, covered with white shades. The young leaves are slightly white, heart shaped and not yet spotted. The leaf stalks are yellow too, cylindrical. With a length of up to 40 cm. These stems are arranged cross-sectionally and originate on the stem sections. There is the base of the lower leaf stalk usually interspersed with the emergence of roots that are yellow and white. These roots will immediately redeem the planting medium and are useful for strengthening the stem. If the body is quite porous and not too wet, the new roots will not appear on t

THINNING FRUIT If the fruit is too much in a bunch, the size is small until it can not enter in the category of quality 1 which requires a minimum fruit size of 11 cm.In addition, with too many fruits, the plant becomes terforsir, weak, susceptible to pest / disease and productive age.   The fruit is too much in a bunch as well as reduced, so that the remaining 10-12 pieces . also less good fruit, defects, small, and pain should be removed. With thinning fruit is expected to use nutrients focused for the development of selected fruits, so the fruit becomes better and bigger.   CONTROL OF PEST AND DISEASE Known pests often attack the vanilla plants are grasshoppers, snails, caterpillars, or some types of lice. Although not many, the pests should be quickly overcome so as not to multiply and harm the plants. The most annoying when the vanilla affected by the fungus, especially fusarium fungus sp. Infection fungus is very detrimental, because it can reduce production, e
