DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] An embodiment provided by the present invention: a preparation process of low-VOC environmentally friendly antibacterial pectin, comprising the following steps: S1, preparing a work area, ensuring that the work area is clean and tidy, and preparing the required materials and utensils; S2, material proportioning, accurately measuring the required materials according to the proportion of the following formula, special plant glue: 100 grams, reflective ultraviolet ceramic powder: 5 grams, calcium carbonate powder: 10 grams, antibacterial agent: 2 grams, vitamin C: 2 grams; S3, mixing materials, pouring 100 grams of special plant glue into a stirring container, adding 5 grams of reflective ultraviolet ceramic powder, 10 grams of calcium carbonate powder, 2 grams of antibacterial agent and 2 grams of vitamin C one by one, and using a mixer with appropriate Speed ​​stirring: the stirring time and speed should be sufficient to ensure that the materials are fully mixed and evenly mixed; S4, adjust the viscosity: gradually add a small amount of water to adjust the viscosity of the pectin, ensure even stirring when adjusting the viscosity, use a pH meter to check the pH value of the pectin to ensure that it is within the appropriate range; S5, check the quality: perform a quality check on the prepared pectin to ensure that there are no visible particles or separation; S6, filling: pour the prepared pectin into the canning equipment, and ensure that the canning equipment is clean; S7: packaging and storage: package the canned pectin, ensure that it is well sealed to prevent contamination, and then store the prepared pectin under appropriate conditions to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature.

[0015] When special plant gum and other materials are stirred, the speed of the mixer is moderate, and the stirring time is controlled between ten and twenty minutes. During the stirring process, it is necessary to observe whether the mixing is uniform and ensure that the speed of the mixer is moderate, not too fast to avoid violent liquid stirring, and not too slow to ensure sufficient mixing. Moderate speed helps to evenly mix the various raw materials and ensure that they are fully integrated. The stirring time is usually between ten and twenty minutes. This is to ensure uniform mixing and sufficient reaction. The continuous stirring time is long enough to allow the various ingredients to be thoroughly integrated, thereby improving the stability and quality of pectin. During the stirring process, it is necessary to closely observe whether the mixing is uniform. This can be evaluated by observing the characteristics of the mixture such as color, texture and viscosity. If unevenness is found, the stirring conditions can be appropriately adjusted or manual intervention can be made to ensure the consistency of the mixture.

[0016] When special plant gum is mixed with other materials, the working environment temperature needs to be controlled between 25 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius. The mixing of special plant gum and other raw materials is a key step to ensure the quality of the final product. The uniformity of mixing has a direct impact on the stability, appearance and performance of pectin. Therefore, during the mixing process, it is particularly important to closely observe whether the mixing is uniform. Observing the color, texture and viscosity of the mixture can provide key information. A uniform mixture usually has a consistent color, uniform texture and stable viscosity. If signs of unevenness are found, it may manifest as inconsistent color, stratification or obvious granular matter, and appropriate measures need to be taken to correct it. Adjusting the mixing conditions includes adjusting the speed, mixing time and design of the mixer. Based on the observation results, these parameters can be gradually optimized to achieve the best mixing effect. In addition, manual intervention can also be considered, such as gently stirring or scraping uneven areas with tools to ensure the consistency of the mix. The uniformity of the mix is ​​not only related to the quality of the product, but also to the smooth progress of subsequent processing and use. Calcium carbonate is abundant on the earth and exists in many forms in rocks, minerals and organisms, such as aragonite, calcite, chalk, limestone, marble, travertine, and is also the main component of animal bones or shells (such as reptiles and bivalves). Calcium carbonate is also the main component of scale, usually generated by the combination of calcium ions and carbonate ions in water, and often occurs in areas with high water hardness. Calcium carbonate is also one of the active ingredients in agricultural lime and can be used to neutralize soil acidity, but excessive use also has the risk of causing soil salinization. In medical applications, calcium carbonate is also a commonly used source of calcium and is often used as one of the active ingredients in acid inhibitors.

[0017] When special plant gum is mixed with other materials, the working humidity is controlled between 50% and 60%. When special plant gum is mixed with other materials, the control of working humidity is one of the key factors to ensure the preparation process of pectin. Maintaining an appropriate working humidity range helps to ensure a smooth mixing process of plant gum and other raw materials. A humidity range of 50% to 60% is an ideal choice because the humidity within this range helps to maintain the proper viscosity and fluidity of the material, thereby promoting the uniformity of mixing. Too low humidity may cause the mixture to be too dry, which will make the material sticky and difficult to stir, and may cause uneven mixing. In addition, dry conditions may also cause static electricity, making particulate matter more easily adhere to the container wall or agitator, reducing the mixing efficiency. Too high humidity may cause the material to become too diluted, which will make the mixture too fluid and difficult to maintain uniformity. High humidity conditions may also cause the raw materials to absorb water, affecting the quality and stability of the mixing.

[0018] After the pectin is mixed, the pH value should be controlled between three and four. If the pH value is too high, lower the pH value by adding food-grade acidic substances such as citric acid or lemon juice. If it is too low, add alkaline substances such as baking soda and sodium bicarbonate to increase the pH value. Controlling the pH value of pectin is an important step in the pectin preparation process and is crucial to the quality and stability of the final product. The importance of pH value: pH value is an indicator of the acidity and alkalinity of pectin, which has an important influence on the texture, viscosity and stability of pectin. Controlling the pH value between three and four helps ensure that the pectin has a proper acid-base balance, so that it performs well in different applications. Too high value: If the pH value of the pectin after mixing is too high, the pectin will be too acidic, which will affect its taste and texture. In this case, you can add food-grade acidic substances such as citric acid or lemon juice to lower the pH value. These acidic substances can neutralize the alkaline components in the pectin and gradually lower the pH value to the ideal range. The pH value is too low: If the pH value of the pectin after mixing is too low, it means that the pectin is too alkaline, which will also affect the performance of the product. In this case, you can consider adding alkaline substances such as baking soda and sodium bicarbonate to increase the pH value. These substances help neutralize the acidic components in the pectin and gradually increase the pH value to an appropriate level.

[0019] The preparation steps of special pectin include:

[0020] Step 1: Prepare fruit pulp, peel, juice or other applicable fruit parts, ensuring that the raw materials are clean, fresh, and properly processed (peeled, deseeded, etc.);

[0021] Step 2: Pectin raw material, water and sugar, the ratio of ingredients is: pectin raw material: water: sugar = 1:1:1, which can be fine-tuned according to taste and product requirements;

[0022] Step 3: Pour the pectin raw materials, water and sugar into a mixing pot. Gradually heat and stir to ensure that the sugar is completely dissolved, then boil, stirring the pectin constantly during the boiling process, the time is between 30 minutes to an hour;

[0023] Step 4: Pour the prepared pectin into the canning equipment, make sure the canning equipment is clean, seal the jars to prevent external contamination, let the canned pectin cool to room temperature, and then store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

[0024] Working Principle: Current citrus preservation methods have problems such as limited shelf life and difficulty in preventing insects and sun exposure. The corresponding pectin designed by this technology uses low-VOC environmentally friendly antibacterial pectin containing special plant gum, reflective UV ceramic powder, calcium carbonate powder, antibacterial agent and vitamin C. This technology brings multiple benefits to citrus preservation. The antibacterial agent enhances the antibacterial performance, inhibits the growth of microorganisms, and extends the shelf life. Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant with the ability to resist oxidation. The pectin layer attached to the surface of citrus reduces pests through the physical insect-proof effect.
