Abstract

The invention discloses a storing and fresh keeping method of fresh cut lettuces. The storing and fresh keeping method comprises the following steps of processing raw materials: impregnating processed lettuces in test compound fresh-keeping liquid for 3-9 minutes, wherein the test compound fresh-keeping liquid is prepared from the following components in compounding ratio: 0.01%-0.08%w / v of glucose oxidases, 0.03%-0.12%w / v of ascorbic acid, 0.01%-0.05%w / v of calcium chloride, and 0.03%-0.1%w / v of cysteine; taking out the processed lettuces, drying the taken lettuces at normal atmospheric temperature, and loading the dried lettuces in a fresh-keeping bag; and placing the processed lettuces in environment that the temperature is 0-4 DEG C and the relative humidity is 70%-85%, and performing refrigeration. According to the fresh keeping method disclosed by the invention, the reddish-brown degree of the fresh cut lettuces is greatly reduced, the quality is good, the rotting rate is low, original texture, nutrition and flavor of the fresh cut lettuces can be well maintained, and the storing and fresh keeping period is greatly prolonged. The storing and fresh keeping method is simple and quick to operate, and high in reliability, and the fresh keeping period of the fresh cut lettuces is greatly prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of storage and preservation of agricultural products, in particular to a method for storage and preservation of fresh-cut lettuce. Background technique [0002] Lettuce is native to the Mediterranean coast of Europe and has a long history of being introduced to China. In recent years, the demand for fresh-cut lettuce has increased sharply in the central kitchens of enterprises, schools, government agencies, and fast food industries. At present, the preservation time of lettuce in cold storage is controlled at about 3-4 days. Fresh-cut lettuce has a shorter storage time because the cut is prone to russet. At present, the fresh-keeping methods for fresh-cut lettuce include refrigeration, controlled atmosphere, irradiation, heat treatment, 1-MCP treatment, and chemical preservative treatment. The circulation and application of lettuce products, therefore, the development of green, safe, efficient and fast fre...
