Orange fresh keeping fruit wax and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses orange fresh keeping fruit wax and a preparation method thereof. The fruit wax is prepared from lemon peel, thyme seeds, herba menthae, herba citronellae, almonds, wild chrysanthemum flowers, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, tamarind gum, medium chain triglycerides, locust bean gum, colloidal silicon dioxide and Tween-80. The fresh keeping fruit wax has the advantages that the ingredients are natural; the use is safe; the film forming performance is good; good moisture resistance, ventilation performance and water retaining performance are realized; the drying speed is high; the mechanical intensity is high; the viscosity is proper; falling cannot easily occur; the orange fruit has vivid color and attractive appearance; the fresh keeping effect is durable; the preparation method of the fruit wax is simple; the equipment requirement is not high; the operation is simple and convenient; the cost is low.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of preservation of fruits and vegetables, and more specifically, to a citrus preservation fruit wax and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Citrus, a subordinate plant of the Rutaceae family, is the general term for tangerine, tangerine, orange, kumquat, pomelo, and trifoliate. Tropical and subtropical evergreen fruit trees are rich in nutrients, including vitamins, flavonoids, carotenoids, etc., eating can reconcile the gastrointestinal tract, stimulate gastrointestinal motility, increase appetite, and stimulate appetite. It can also be used to make jam or jelly and other foods. [0003] After citrus is picked, it is difficult to store under normal temperature conditions, the fruit loses water rapidly, the peel shrinks, the quality decreases, the shelf life is short, and the nutrient loss is serious. Spraying film-coated fruit wax on citrus is a commonly used method to keep fresh, but beca...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] It is difficult to store citrus at room temperature after picking, the fruit loses moisture rapidly, the peel shrinks, the quality declines, the shelf life is short, and the nutrition loss is serious

Spraying and coating fruit wax on citrus is a commonly used fresh-keeping method. However, due to the high lipid content of citrus epidermis, the wettability of traditional wax liquid is poor, and the fruit coating effect is not good, and it is easy to fall off during storage and transportation. Existing fruit wax usually contains chemical additives such as morpholine, such as fatty acid morpholine hydrogen bond salt and fatty acid morpholine amide, which have potential safety hazards to human health, while fruit wax made of other natural ingredients, the color of the fruit after coating is dull, It is white, not beautiful enough, and the smell is not good, and the freshness is not long enough, which affects consumers' consumption
