Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fresh-keeping materials, and particularly relates to an echinocarpus antibacterial fresh-keeping film and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards and increasing attention to health issues, people have put forward higher requirements on the safety of food additives such as preservatives. Consumers tend to choose natural products as preservatives and antibacterial agents, and scientific and technological workers are also cautious about the use of chemical synthetic preservatives.
[0003] Water chestnut is a typical food raw material with pharmacological effects. It has the effect of medicinal and dietary homology and is highly safe. Patients with upper gastrointestinal infections have good results by eating some raw water chestnuts. In the epidemic seasons of influenza and whooping cough, eating more water chestnuts can not only prevent them, but also play an auxiliary therapeutic role. Many people peel water chestnuts very cleanly when eating them, leaving only the innermost white meat. Water chestnut skin is a waste product in the processing process. Most of it is used as feed in life in industrial production, and its utilization value is low. Little do people know that this "overly clean" step leads to the waste of water chestnut. The "Chinese Medicine Dictionary" believes that water chestnut is the main active substance in water chestnut, also known as horse hoof yellow, which refers to the yellow part between the water chestnut skin and the flesh, and has antibacterial effects. Studies have shown that water chestnut extract has an inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, etc., among which the inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus is the strongest and more sustainable. Water chestnut extract can effectively prevent the decay of colored fruit tomatoes caused by Rhizopus and Alternaria during storage. 3+ The antibacterial activity of the crude extract of water chestnut treated with Na + , K + , Ca 2+ The antibacterial activity of the crude extract of water chestnut treated with , remained basically unchanged.
[0004] Through research, it was found that when water chestnut extract is directly used as an auxiliary material for plastic wrap, the compatibility of water chestnut extract with other ingredients in the plastic wrap is poor. The prepared plastic wrap containing water chestnut extract has poor antibacterial effect, and water chestnut will fall off during use or processing, affecting its antibacterial properties. In addition, the mechanical properties (tensile strength) of the plastic wrap are poor, and it is easily damaged by external forces. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the problems in the prior art that water chestnut peels are seriously wasted, and the prepared cling film has poor antibacterial effect and low tensile strength, the present invention provides a water chestnut antibacterial cling film and a preparation method and application thereof. The water chestnut extract is processed so that the water chestnut extract can be dissolved in water. The prepared cling film has good antibacterial effect and good mechanical properties, and has good application in the field of food preservation.
[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing an antibacterial fresh-keeping film made of water chestnut, comprising the following steps: (1) Crush the water chestnut peel, extract it with ethanol solution at 40-50°C to obtain a crude extract of water chestnut, concentrate it, wash it with water until there is no alcohol taste, freeze-dry it, and ultrafine grind it to obtain water chestnut powder; (2) Dissolve the water chestnut syrup powder in step (1) in ethanol, add an aqueous solution of iron salt and an aqueous solution of amino acids, and stir to react for 0.5 to 2 hours. After the reaction is completed, filter and evaporate the filtrate to remove the solvent to obtain a water chestnut syrup-amino acid reactant; (3) mixing the water chestnut-amino acid reactant in step (2), pullulan, konjac gum, glycerin, and water, mixing well, and homogenizing under high pressure for 3-5 times to obtain a mixed solution; (4) The mixed solution after high pressure homogenization in step (3) is heated to 40-50°C and kept warm for 10-15 minutes until it becomes homogeneous and transparent; (5) Degassing: ultrasonic degassing; (6) Pre-drying: Spread the degassed mixture on a glass plate and pre-dry at 50-60°C for 15-20 minutes; (7) Drying: vacuum drying for 24 to 36 hours to form a film; (8) Softening: After softening, remove the film to obtain the water chestnut antibacterial preservative film.
[0007] Furthermore, the ethanol in step (1) is 95% ethanol, and the water chestnut superfine powder is an ultrafine powder passed through a 120-mesh sieve.
[0008] Furthermore, the iron salt in step (2) is ferric chloride or ferric nitrate, the amino acid is glycine, the mass ratio of water chestnut superfine powder to amino acid is 1:0.2-0.5, and the molar ratio of amino acid to iron salt is 1:0.5-1.
[0009] Furthermore, in step (2), the ratio of ethanol to water is 1:1-2, and the concentration of the aqueous solution of iron salt is 0.5-1 mol / L.
[0010] Furthermore, the mixed solution in step (3) is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 10-20 parts of water chestnut-amino acid reactant, 3-5 parts of pullulan, 1-2 parts of konjac gum, 3-5 parts of glycerol, and 60-70 parts of water.
[0011] Furthermore, in step (5), the ultrasonic degassing time is 2 to 3 hours.
[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the film in step (6) is 0.3-0.6 mm.
[0013] Furthermore, the softening temperature in step (7) is 25-30°C.
[0014] In the present invention, the water chestnut antibacterial fresh-keeping film prepared by the preparation method is obtained.
[0015] In the present invention, the water chestnut antibacterial fresh-keeping film is used in food preservation.
[0016] In the present invention, water chestnut, iron ions and amino acids form a chelate: (1) metal ions and water chestnut extracts themselves have certain antibacterial activity; (2) after the metal ions, amino acids and water chestnut are chelated, the antibacterial activity is enhanced; (3) after the amino acids and water chestnut extract are chelated, the water solubility of water chestnut is enhanced, and it can be fully integrated with other components in the plastic wrap, thereby enhancing its antibacterial activity, and enhancing the mechanical properties of the plastic wrap, and enhancing the tensile strength.
[0017] Beneficial Effects The present invention extracts water chestnut from water chestnut peel, and after water chestnut is chelated with iron ions and amino acids, its water solubility is increased, and its antibacterial effect is significantly enhanced. Moreover, by being fully integrated with other components in the cling film, the antibacterial activity of the cling film is strengthened, and the mechanical properties and tensile strength of the cling film are enhanced, so the cling film has good application in the field of food preservation.
