The invention discloses a fragrant pomelo peel
essential oil compound
preservative capable of improving the storage quality of
prunus salicina, and belongs to the technical field of fruit preservation. The
preservative is prepared from the following components in percentage by
mass: 0.1 to 1.0 percent of fragrant pomelo peel
essential oil, 0.5 to 2.0 percent of
chitosan, 0.3 to 1.5 percent of modified white
carbon black, 0.05 to 0.2 percent of
antioxidant, 0.2 to 1.0 percent of
glycerol, 0.1 to 0.5 percent of film-forming agent and the balance of deionized water. The modified white
carbon black is prepared by step-by-step modification of a
silane coupling agent,
guar gum hydroxypropyl trimethyl
ammonium chloride and
sodium lignin sulfonate, can efficiently adsorb and slowly release
essential oil, and enhances the compatibility with
chitosan and the mechanical properties of a film layer. According to the
preservative disclosed by the invention, a
composite coating film is formed by dip-
coating, so that water loss,
browning and microbial decay after the
prunus salicina is picked can be remarkably inhibited, the
shelf life of the
prunus salicina is prolonged to 12-15 days at normal temperature, and the preservative is suitable for large-scale storage and preservation of the
prunus salicina.
