WEIGHT LOSSES WERE AS FOLLOWS: 8% WITH UNWRAPPED HEADS, 0.2% WITH HEADS PLACED IN AIRTIGHT BAGS AND 1.2% WITH THOSE IN PERFORATED BAGS. MICHIHLI WILL KEEP WELL FOR 55 DAYS IF THEY ARE WRAPPED.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE STORAGE DURATION, FOR BOTH VARIETIES, SHOULD NOT EXCEED 80 DAYS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN GOOD MARKET QUALITY.
