dried abalone appearance FAQ
Q: Why is "old abalone" more expensive than "new abalone"?
A: New abalone has a water content of 15–20%, which drops to 5% after five years of storage. One catty of new abalone will only have eight and a half taels left after storage. At the same time, the protein inside aged abalone transforms, forming a "sugar heart" texture. For the same species and head count, the unit price of aged abalone is usually 30%+ higher than new abalone.
Q: There is a layer of white frost on the surface of abalone; is it spoiled?
A: No. The white frost is natural salt frost, a normal phenomenon during the aging process of abalone. But if you see powdery particles, worm holes, or a moldy smell, it indicates insect damage or mold, and you should find an expert for identification as soon as possible.
Q: How to best store dried abalone?
Answer: Use a sealed metal box + food-grade desiccant, place in a cool, dry, and shaded area. Take it out for ventilation for one day every six months. Avoid putting it in the refrigerator (humidity may cause mold).
Question: Will you still accept abalones that have a little worm damage?
Answer: Yes. If the worm damage is only at the edges and the good meat is still intact, there is still a buyback price, just the unit price will decrease by 20–35%. If the whole abalone is eaten by worms inside and out, it's hard to salvage.
Question: How can I get an accurate quotation?
