how come mandarin orange and lokam from china can last for so long?

I wouldn't eat too much of it. Anything from China is questionable.

Some citrus farmers apply a thin coating of wax on the skin of the citrus, which helps preserve the moisture of both the inside and the skin of the fruit.

First attempt, below a 2d. interior of three tries I have been given previous a minute. i will completely see how that's used for fighter pilot screening attempting out as i all started training with the Royal Canadian Air stress some years in the past. did not complete the selection technique effectively, even with the indisputable fact that it grew to become into an somewhat cool discovering adventure.

even the apples that you buy from the markets have been stored in vacuum for at least 9 months before export, i would not be surprised if these fruits have preservatives.

even local fruits have preservatives...

i do not know..uh huh..i'm eating mandarin orange now..all the way from Fujian, China. You see, the printed date is 2007 but the importer simply corrected it with 2008 with blue ink pen..

must be some chemical preservative

limau lokam aku ley abehkan skotak tu sorg2..ngah5..sape xdpt abehkan tu meh anta umah ak gune pos laju =P

Same answer to why all Chinese girls are fair skinned and age slower, 4 seasons......XD

edit - Beans "Cheating the Customer".

In China they use a process known locally as:

'Che ting de kas tu ma'

support our local fruits lah :)
