The invention belongs to the technical field of
food processing, and relates to a melon rind source stabilizer, an extraction method thereof and application of the melon rind source stabilizer in watermelon juice. The extraction method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing watermelon peel pulp: taking inner peels of watermelons, adding water, and crushing into the watermelon peel pulp; step S2,
alkaline hydrolysis ester removal: regulating and controlling a water medium microenvironment to enable the pH value of the melon rind pulp to be 10-13, and reacting at
room temperature to remove methyl ester groups; then filtering and washing in sequence to obtain watermelon peel residues; and S3, low-temperature high-pressure homogenization and vacuum
freeze drying are combined. The watermelon peel source stabilizer is extracted from watermelon inner peel pulp through
alkaline hydrolysis ester removal and low-temperature high-pressure homogenization combined with vacuum
freeze drying treatment, has a good network framework, and is not prone to molecular chain breakage, charge shielding or
dehydration shrinkage in ultrahigh-pressure sterilization, so that the stability of watermelon juice is improved, and the stability of the watermelon juice is improved. Particularly, the double-effect stability of
lycopene and juice in the watermelon juice can be regulated and controlled.
