Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization of palm leaves, and particularly relates to a natural preservative containing palm leaf extract, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Technique

[0002] Palms are common tropical plants and are widely used in the medicinal and food fields. The roots, fruits, leaves, and stems of palms all have pharmacological effects. The palm leaf is nearly round and fan-shaped, with a diameter of up to 60 - 100 cm. During the growth process of the palm, the leaves will continuously fall off, and the leaves are huge. The existing development and utilization of palm leaves are relatively single. Without an effective resource development approach, the redundant and unused leaves can only be treated as garbage, which not only increases the huge workload of daily management but also fails to achieve the full utilization of resources. Therefore, the development of palm leaf-related products is of great significance for realizing the comprehensive utilization of palm resources. Summary of the Invention

The dosage of the natural preservative is 3 - 7 g per kilogram of fruits. The fruits are litchi, mango, strawberry, etc.

[0025] The Lactobacillus plantarum described in the above examples was purchased from Shanghai Yangkong Industrial Co., Ltd., and the viable count ≥ 2.0×10 11 CFU / g.

[0026] Comparison of antibacterial effects of the natural preservative of the present invention Colletotrichum gloeosporioides ( Colletotrichum acutatum ), Colletotrichum litchii ( Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz Saec), Colletotrichum fragariae ( Colletotrichum fragariae ) were provided by the Institute of Environment and Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences. Take each pathogenic bacterium and culture it on PDA medium until the mycelium covers the entire plate, and set aside.

[0027] Refer to the material composition and preparation method in Table 1, and prepare different natural preservatives respectively. Add sterile water to make a solution with a concentration of 5 g / 100 mL for standby. Use a hole punch with a 5 mm aperture to punch out bacterial blocks on the plate. Take a bacterial cake, place the mycelium side down, and inoculate it in the center of a new PDA plate. Place pre-treated filter papers at equal distances (20 mm) above, to the left, and to the right of the bacterial cake. The filter papers are sterilized and dried, and then 30 μL of the natural preservative solution is added. Set three replicates for each pathogen to be tested. The plate inoculated only with the pathogen to be tested is used as a control. Place the petri dish at 28°C. After the control petri dish is covered with mycelium, calculate the relative inhibition rate. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0028] Relative inhibition rate (%) = (control colony diameter - treated colony diameter) / (control colony diameter - 5) × 100%.

[0029] In the formula, the unit of each colony diameter is "mm"; "5" is the initial diameter of the treated colony.

[0031] In treatment groups 3 - 9, the palm leaf extract, purslane extract, sunflower flower disc, betel leaf, camellia seed cake, and Lactobacillus plantarum were removed respectively, and the antibacterial activities against the three pathogens were reduced to varying degrees, and were significantly lower than those of the three example groups. This shows that the natural preservative described in the present invention can play a synergistic role through reasonable compatibility of each component, significantly improving the antibacterial activity against the three pathogens, and the inhibition rate is significantly increased compared with treatment groups 3 - 9.

[0032] In treatments 10 - 11, the added materials are the same as those in Example 2. The difference is that in treatment 10, all the materials are added at one time for fermentation treatment. Although the subsequent treatment methods are the same as those in the example group, the inhibition rates against the three pathogens are not only significantly lower than those of the three example groups, but also decreased to varying degrees compared with some of the treatment groups in treatment groups 4 - 9. This shows that although the added materials in treatment 10 are the same as those in Example 2, due to the preparation method of adding all the materials at one time for fermentation treatment, the inhibition rate not only does not increase, but also decreases compared with some of the treatment groups in treatment groups 4 - 9. Thus, it can be seen that the preparation method described in the present invention can significantly improve the inhibition rate of the natural preservative.

[0033] The fermentation broth of treatment group 11 was directly added with palm leaf extract and purslane extract without sterilization treatment, and no sterilization treatment was carried out later. The antibacterial rate was only slightly lower than that of Colletotrichum fragariae in treatment 6, but it was improved to varying degrees compared with other treatment groups in treatment groups 4 - 10. However, it was still significantly lower than the three example groups.

[0034] The above experimental data show that the natural preservative and its preparation method of the present invention can significantly improve the antibacterial rate against three kinds of pathogenic bacteria.

[0035] Effect of the natural preservative of the present invention on the shelf life of fruits Freshly picked mangoes (Xiaotainong), lychees (Feizixiao) and strawberries (Milk Strawberry) were taken respectively, and the bad fruits and deformed fruits were removed, washed clean, and the surface moisture was dried. 80 fruits of each kind were taken as test samples, randomly divided into 4 groups, with 20 in each group, and placed in a transparent fresh-keeping box. In the experimental group, the natural preservative prepared in Example 2 of the present invention was taken and made into a 5 g / 100 mL solution by adding water, and the fruits were atomized and fumigated in a sealed box for 40 min. The dosage of the natural preservative was 3, 5, and 7 g per kilogram of fruit respectively. The control group was not treated. Then each fresh-keeping box was tightly sealed, the room temperature was kept at 20 °C, and all the fruits were placed in a cardboard box and stored away from light. The state of each fruit was observed every day, and 1 fruit was cut open to observe the internal pulp, and the number of days when each fruit first showed rot or deterioration was recorded respectively. For mangoes, the criteria were that the epidermis showed black or brown spots, the pulp changed color and softened, and the smell was abnormal; for strawberries, the criteria were that the surface showed water-soaked grayish-brown necrosis, the color became darker, the pulp softened or the color changed, and the smell was abnormal; for lychees, the criteria were that it was soft when pressed, black spots appeared on the shell, milky white appeared in the pulp or a layer of black hard lumps appeared near the fruit core, and there was a smell of wine or other unpleasant smells.

[0036] Table 3 Effect of natural preservative on the storage days of fruits (days)

[0037] As can be seen from Table 3, by fumigation treatment with the natural preservative described in Example 2, under different dosage conditions, the storage days of strawberries, lychees and mangoes were significantly increased, indicating that the natural preservative of the present invention can significantly improve the shelf life of fruits. Among them, the shelf life of strawberries and mangoes was most significantly extended at dosages of 5 g / kg and 7 g / kg, and the effects of the two treatment concentrations were not very different. The shelf life of lychees was most significantly extended at a dosage of 7 g / kg.

[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
