Embodiment 1

[0098] Sample Preparation and Testing

[0099] Sample 1-1: (1) 0.096g of HAIP (molecular complex of 1-MCP and α-cyclodextrin; 4.5wt% 1-MCP) was added to 2.500g of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether and 0.814g of PAOS-MEA. Stir the mixture under high-speed mechanical stirring to form a uniform slurry; (2) keep the slurry at 70° C. to form a gel; (3) grind the above gel into powder. The release rate of 1-MCP was measured by direct exposure to liquid water or under high humidity conditions.

[0100] Sample 1-2: The entire process was similar to that described for Sample 1-1, except that the absorbent polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), was also included. The mass of HAIP is 0.095 g; the mass of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether is 2.506 g; the mass of PAOS-MEA is 0.755 g. The content of PVA is about 10% by weight relative to the total gel formulation.

[0101] Sample 1-3: The entire procedure was similar to that described for Sample 1-1, except that tetraethylenepentamine w...

Embodiment 2

[0113] additional control samples

[0114] Control Test 1: HAIP (1-MCP / α-CD Molecular Complex) was obtained from AgroFresh Inc., wherein 1-MCP was 4.5 wt%, based on the total weight of the sample HAIP. Three experiments were repeated to confirm the release of 1-MCP by dissolution in water for HAIP. 20 mg of HAIP was added to each of three 250 ml headspace vials. 2 ml of water was added to the vials via syringe, and the vials were mechanically shaken for 2 hours. The headspace of each of the three vials was analyzed after 2 hours and approximately 250 [mu]l of the headspace volume was sampled for analysis. In each sample, the amount of 1-MCP released from HAIP was quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with cis-2-butene as an internal standard. The data for these three samples are shown in Table 2.

[0115] Control Test 2: A saturated saline solution was used to generate a constant relative humidity in a headspace vial at a constant temperature. For example, sa...

Embodiment 3

[0121] additional test samples

[0122] Sample 3-1 (test sample): 0.096g HAIP was added to 2.500g polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, followed by 0.814g PAOS-MEA (see image 3 ). The mixture was thoroughly blended into a homogeneous slurry by a mechanical stirrer at 1500 rpm. Carefully exclude moisture and water throughout the reaction. The slurry was incubated at 70°C for 2 hours to form a gel. Pass the preparation through A11 base grinder to grind into powder. The average particle size of the powder is about 1 mm.

[0123] Test samples for complete release: 212 mg of sample 3-1 was added to a 250 ml headspace vial. The bottle was sealed with a Minnert diaphragm valve. 3ml of water was syringed into the bottle, which was then placed on a mechanical shaker and mixed vigorously for 24 hours. The headspace concentration of 1-MCP was analyzed at 24 hours and quantified using cis-2-butene as an internal standard. The results are shown in Table 4.

Abstract

The present invention relates to packaging material / matrix and methods of making such packaging material / matrix for slow or extended release of at least one active volatile compound(s). Provided are methods and compositions for a polymer matrix incorporating at least one active volatile compound (for example 1-methylcyclopropene or 1-MCP) and the polymer matrix is synthesized by polycondensation. This polymer matrix can slowly release the active volatile compound after contacting with a solvent (for example moisture). Also provided is the use of such polymer matrix to prolong the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables.

Description

Background technique [0001] Ethylene is an important regulator of plant growth, development, senescence, and environmental stress; primarily affecting processes associated with plant maturation, floral senescence, and leaf abscission. Ethylene is usually produced in large quantities under environmental stress during plant growth, or during plant storage and transportation. As a result, yields of plants such as fruits and crops are reduced by heat or drought before harvest. Since excess ethylene gas accelerates fruit ripening, flower senescence and early abscission of leaves, the commercial value of fresh plants such as vegetables, fruits and flowers will decrease after harvest. [0002] To prevent the negative effects of ethylene, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was used to replace the ethylene receptor and thus inhibit the binding and excitation of ethylene. 1-MCP has a greater affinity for the receptor than ethylene has for the receptor. 1-MC also affects biosynthesis in som...
