Field microwave processing device and method for harvested muskmelons

Abstract

The invention discloses a field microwave treatment device for harvested muskmelons. The device comprises a bottom plate, a microwave cavity cover and microwave generators; the bottom plate is used for placing the harvested muskmelons; the microwave cavity cover is buckled on the bottom plate and forms a closed cavity with the bottom plate; a plurality of microwave generators are arranged on eachinner surface of the microwave cavity cover; each microwave generator is used to emit microwaves and apply microwaves to the muskmelons; each microwave generator is made to work intermittently; and the microwave treatment is completed when the temperature inside a 0 to 10 mm thick outer skin layer of the muskmelons reaches 45 to 50 DEG C. The invention further discloses a field microwave treatmentmethod using the field microwave treatment device for the harvested muskmelons; the field microwave treatment device and method for the harvested muskmelons are capable of suppressing pathogenic microorganisms hidden and infiltrated on the muskmelon surface and skin layer, reducing the rot and deterioration of the muskmelons during storage and transportation, and extending the storage and shelf life of the muskmelons.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of storage and preservation of fresh melons and fruits, in particular to a field microwave processing device and method for melons after harvest. Background technique [0002] Cucumis melon (Cucumis melon L.) belongs to Cucurbitaceae (Cucurbitaceae) Cucumis (Cucumic Linn) annual trailing herb. Xinjiang has abundant light and heat resources, large temperature difference between day and night, and low rainfall. It is extremely suitable for the cultivation of melons. It is one of the secondary origin centers of thick-skinned melons. It has rich germplasm resources and large planting areas. [0003] Melon is a respiration type fruit, it ripens and senes quickly after harvest, and its disease resistance is reduced, and it is very susceptible to pathogen infection. The main outlet of Xinjiang melons is to quickly transport them to the domestic and foreign markets after harvesting for fresh sale. Because they are far awa...

Problems solved by technology

However, after the melon is stored for a certain period of time, or stored and transported under unfavorable environmental conditions, the antibacterial effect of the melon itself is weakened, and the pathogenic bacteria of the latent infecting bacteria turn from a dormant state to an active state, grow and reproduce rapidly, and obvious spots appear on the surface of the melon. sick shift and decay quickly
