A fruit and vegetable preservative solution with strong wetting and ethylene-inhibiting effects, its preparation method and application method.
By encapsulating 1-methylcyclopropene with cellulose nanoparticles, a fruit and vegetable preservation liquid was prepared, which solved the problems of wettability and ethylene inhibition of cellulose nanoparticle-based coatings. This resulted in modified atmosphere preservation and improved mechanical strength of fruits and vegetables, extended shelf life, and easy cleaning.

AI Technical Summary
Existing nanocellulose-based coating solutions cannot effectively wet the peels of fruits and vegetables, resulting in poor coating uniformity and integrity, and failing to effectively inhibit ethylene, thus affecting the preservation effect of fruits and vegetables.
By encapsulating 1-methylcyclopropene with cyclodextrin and compounding it with nanocellulose, film-forming agents, plasticizers, and biosurfactants, a fruit and vegetable preservation liquid with strong wetting and ethylene inhibition effects was prepared, forming a uniform and dense preservation coating. The three-dimensional network structure of nanocellulose and the slow-release effect of cyclodextrin reduced the oxygen concentration and moisture loss on the surface of fruits and vegetables.
It achieves modified atmosphere preservation of fruits and vegetables, extends shelf life, reduces the loss of moisture and nutrients, enhances the mechanical strength and stability of the coating, is easy to clean, and has no toxic side effects on the human body.
