|Causes of astringency
Persimmons contain a lot of soluble tannic acid (that is, tannins, when we say wines with high tannins are astringent, we also mean it).
Tannins stimulate nerve endings in the oral mucosa. Persimmons that are not fully “ripe” are especially high in tannins, which may be a risk for people with fragile stomachs.
Especially when the fruit goes into the market, it needs to go through the process of transportation and storage. So some persimmons are actually picked before they are fully ripe, so special attention should be paid to them.
In addition, there is a special type of persimmon, which cannot dissolve excessive tannins on the tree itself. It must be artificially removed to become a “ripe” persimmon in our eyes.
The amount of tannin in persimmons can basically be judged by the taste. Although astringent persimmons are definitely not soft, crisp persimmons may also be sweet. So buy persimmons After that, you can try it experimentally. If you buy a sweet persimmon, you can start to taste its sweetness slowly, but if you buy a persimmon that is astringent, you may wish to further de-astringency.

If there are a lot of persimmons and you plan to deastring them in batches, you can immerse the persimmons in warm water to completely isolate them from the air, moderately high temperature and anaerobic Conditions can promote the conversion of tannins into other insolubles, generally 40 degrees Celsius warm water sealed bubbles at 20-30 degrees Celsius. Of course, if you have other technologies to achieve a vacuum environment, it is not impossible.
Persimmons after deastringency should be eaten as soon as possible. Persimmons that have lost tannins will be very easy to spoil.
