[0042] Comparison of the antibacterial effects of the natural preservatives described in the present invention
[0043] Mango Anthracnose ( Colletotrichum acutatum ), Lychee fruit anthracnose ( Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz Saec), Colletotrichum frutescens ( Colletotrichum fragariae ) was provided by the Institute of Environment and Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences. Each pathogen was cultured on PDA medium until mycelium covered the entire plate and then set aside.
[0044] Referring to the material composition and preparation methods in Table 1, prepare different natural preservatives and add sterile water to a solution at a concentration of 5g / 100mL. Use a 5mm aperture punch to punch out bacterial clumps on a plate. Take one cake, mycelium side down, and inoculate it in the center of a new PDA plate. Place pretreated filter paper pieces, sterilized and dried, 20mm above, to the left, and right of the cake. Add 30µl of the natural preservative solution. Set up three replicates for each pathogen to be tested. A plate inoculated only with the pathogen to be tested served as a control. The culture plates were incubated at 28°C. Once the control plates were fully covered with mycelium, the relative inhibition rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0045] Relative inhibition rate (%) = (control colony diameter - treated colony diameter) / (control colony diameter - 5) × 100%.
[0046] In the formula, the unit of each colony diameter is "mm"; "5" is the initial diameter of the treated colony. Table 1 Composition and preparation method of different natural preservatives
[0047] Serial number Material composition Preparation method 1 10 parts of palm leaf extract, 10 parts of purslane extract, 15 parts of sunflower discs, 10 parts of betel leaves, 5 parts of mint leaves, 10 parts of camellia oleifera cakes, 5 parts of barley, 1 part of Lactobacillus plantarum Same as Example 1 2 15 parts of palm leaf extract, 13 parts of purslane extract, 20 parts of sunflower discs, 15 parts of betel leaves, 7 parts of mint leaves, 8 parts of oil-tea camellia cakes, 6 parts of barley, 2 parts of plant lactobacillus Same as Example 2 3 20 parts of palm leaf extract, 15 parts of purslane extract, 25 parts of sunflower discs, 20 parts of betel leaves, 10 parts of mint leaves, 15 parts of oil-tea camellia cakes, 7 parts of barley, 3 parts of plant lactobacillus Same as Example 3 4 The palm leaf extract was removed from the components, and the remaining components were the same as those in Example 2. Same as Example 2 5 The remaining components are the same as those in Example 2 except for the purslane extract. Same as Example 2 6 The sunflower disc is removed from the components, and the remaining components are the same as in Example 2 Same as Example 2 7 Remove betel leaf from the components, and the remaining components are the same as in Example 2 Same as Example 2 8 Remove the oil-tea cake from the ingredients, and the remaining ingredients are the same as in Example 2 Same as Example 2 9 Remove Lactobacillus plantarum from the components, and the remaining components are the same as those in Example 2 The mixed material is directly fermented without adding Lactobacillus plantarum 10 The components are the same as those in Example 2 All materials were added to the mixed fermentation at the same time, then centrifuged, the supernatant was sterilized, and vacuum freeze-dried 11 The components are the same as those in Example 2 The fermentation broth was not sterilized, and palm leaf extract and purslane extract were directly added, mixed, centrifuged, and the supernatant was vacuum freeze-dried.
[0048] Table 2 Comparison of the antibacterial rates of different natural preservatives against different pathogens (%)
[0049] Serial number Mango Anthracnose Lychee fruit anthracnose Strawberry Anthrax 1 95.13 94.12 90.87 2 96.25 95.27 91.08 3 96.01 95.38 91.13 4 38.91 40.21 31.20 5 47.68 51.32 42.59 6 51.27 42.67 67.48 7 50.23 60.15 39.87 8 52.78 54.55 50.18 9 38.94 42.88 41.09 10 40.24 39.87 37.98 11 71.89 65.74 66.75
[0050] From the data in Table 2, it can be seen that the three embodiments of the present invention have significant inhibitory effects on the three pathogens, with the inhibition rate reaching more than 90%.
[0051] Treatment groups 3-9, which omitted palm leaf extract, purslane extract, sunflower disc, betel nut leaf, camellia oil cake, and Lactobacillus plantarum, showed varying degrees of reduction in antibacterial activity against the three pathogens, all significantly lower than those in the three example groups. This suggests that the rational combination of the components of the natural preservative of the present invention can synergize and significantly enhance the antibacterial activity against the three pathogens, with the antibacterial rate significantly increased compared to treatment groups 3-9.
[0052] In treatments 10-11, the added materials are the same as those in Example 2, with the difference being that all materials in treatment 10 are added to the fermentation process at once. Although the subsequent treatment method is the same as that of the example group, the antibacterial rates for the three pathogens are not only significantly lower than those of the three example groups, but also decrease to varying degrees relative to the individual treatment groups in treatment groups 4-9. This indicates that although the added materials in treatment 10 are the same as those in Example 2, due to the preparation method of adding all materials to the fermentation process at once, the antibacterial rate not only does not increase, but is actually decreased relative to the individual treatment groups in treatment groups 4-9. This shows that the preparation method described in the present invention can significantly increase the antibacterial rate of natural preservatives.
[0053] The fermentation liquid of treatment group 11 was not sterilized and palm leaf extract and purslane extract were directly added. No sterilization was performed in the later stage. The inhibition rate was only slightly lower than that of strawberry anthracnose in treatment 6. However, it was improved to varying degrees compared with the other treatment groups in treatment groups 4-10, but it was still significantly lower than that of the three embodiment groups.
[0054] The above experimental data show that the natural preservative and preparation method thereof described in the present invention can significantly improve the antibacterial rate against three pathogens.
[0055] Effect of the natural preservatives of the present invention on the shelf life of fruits
[0056] Freshly picked mangoes (Xiaotai Nong), lychees (Feizixiao), and strawberries (Milk Strawberry) were collected. Bad and deformed fruit were removed, cleaned, and dried. 80 fruit of each type were randomly divided into four groups of 20 each and placed in transparent fresh-keeping containers. The experimental groups took the natural preservative prepared in Example 2 of the present invention, added water to make a 5g / 100mL solution, and atomized the fruit in a sealed container for 40 minutes. The dosage of the natural preservative was 3g, 5g, and 7g per kilogram of fruit, respectively. The control group received no treatment. The fresh-keeping containers were then tightly sealed and maintained at 20°C. All fruit was stored in cardboard boxes in the dark. The condition of each fruit was observed daily, and one fruit was cut open to examine the flesh. The earliest day of rot or deterioration was recorded for each fruit. The standard for mangoes is the appearance of black or brown spots on the skin, discoloration and softening of the flesh, and an abnormal odor; the standard for strawberries is the appearance of water-soaked gray-brown necrosis on the surface, darkening of the color, softening or color change of the flesh, and an abnormal odor; the standard for lychees is the appearance of softness when pressed, black spots on the shell, milky white flesh or a layer of black lumps near the core, and the smell of wine or other unpleasant odors.
[0057] Table 3 Effects of natural preservatives on the shelf life of fruits (days)
[0058]
[0059] As can be seen in Table 3, fumigation with the natural preservative described in Example 2 significantly increased the shelf life of strawberries, lychees, and mangoes at various dosages, demonstrating that the natural preservative described in this invention can significantly extend the shelf life of fruit. The most significant shelf life extension for strawberries and mangoes was achieved at dosages of 5g / kg and 7g / kg, with little difference in the effects between the two treatment concentrations. The most significant shelf life extension for lychees was achieved at a dosage of 7g / kg.
[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
