The present application relates to the technical field of
plant specimen preservation, and particularly relates to a
plant specimen original color preservation method based on
chemical treatment, comprising the following steps: preparing dry
plant specimens; preparing a premix solution; uniformly mixing mint, clove and
thunder god
vine, crushing, adding into an
ethanol aqueous solution, sealing and standing for soaking, adding
salicylic acid for ultrasonic treatment, filtering, removing
solid matters, recovering
ethanol, adding the dry plant specimens into the
ethanol aqueous solution, soaking at a temperature of 30-40 DEG C, adding
sodium salicylate,
trehalose and a color protection agent for stirring, taking out the treated plant specimens, and obtaining pretreated plant specimens; uniformly spraying the premix solution to the surface of the pretreated plant specimens, placing the plant specimens into a specimen clamp for flattening, low-temperature
cold treatment, then increasing the temperature for heat preservation, decreasing the temperature for
cold treatment again, and freeze-
drying; the present application can basically maintain the original color of the plant specimens, improves the
identification rate for
specimen identification, the preservation method has good
mildew-proof effect, can effectively prevent specimen damage, is convenient for classification and preservation, and has longer durability.
