Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fruit storage, and in particular relates to a low-carbon fresh-keeping litchi room-temperature storage and transportation packaging method. Background Art

[0002] Litchi is a representative tropical and subtropical fruit, rich in vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates. It is nutritious, beautiful, and sweet, and is deeply loved by consumers. However, litchi is easy to rot, brown, and invaded by pathogens after harvest, which seriously affects its shelf life and market value. E-commerce logistics is the most important sales model. It reduces the intermediate links by connecting supply and demand, and has the advantages of wide sales range and high profits. At present, only about 10% of litchis adopt the e-commerce logistics model. The main problems are: 1) Litchi is concentrated in the market period, easy to rot and brown, and difficult to sell over long distances. 2) The cold chain infrastructure is poor, "chain breaks" occur frequently, the cost of cold chain express delivery is high, and the income is difficult to guarantee. 3) The current refrigerated transportation equipment is mainly mechanical refrigerated trucks. In today's high oil prices, it is not only economical and not environmentally friendly, but also may have the phenomenon of "big trucks delivering small goods". Therefore, it is particularly important to maintain the storage temperature of food during transportation through other means. At present, the transportation method adopted by litchi e-commerce logistics is mainly foam boxes with ice, but there are also the following problems: 1) The use of ice or ice bags (cooling agents) is not standardized, and the fruits near the ice bags are frozen and rotten; 2) The weight of the ice bags squeezes the actual transportation weight and transportation space of the fruits, increasing the transportation cost. In view of the above problems, taking into account the actual transportation environment, using composite preservation technology, combined with the development of litchi e-commerce logistics coolers with high latent heat, excellent thermal conductivity, no corrosion and excellent circulation performance, long-term cold storage and environmental protection requirements, the room temperature e-commerce logistics of litchi can be achieved. Long-distance sales, effectively reduce freight costs, improve the quality of litchi fruits, increase the proportion of litchi e-commerce logistics sales, and achieve increased production and income of litchi. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a low-carbon fresh-keeping litchi room-temperature storage and transportation packaging method.

[0004] The technical contents of the present invention are as follows:

[0005] The present invention provides a low-carbon and universal litchi e-commerce logistics normal temperature storage and transportation mode and method, the steps of which include:

[0006] (1) Fruit pretreatment: fresh lychees are picked and screened, and then precooled to a core temperature of 0-15°C;

[0007] The precooling temperature is set to 10-15°C; if the precooling temperature is too low, browning is likely to occur during the e-commerce logistics of litchi; if the precooling temperature is too high, the respiratory heat of litchi generates more water vapor accumulation;

[0008] (2) Packaging: Packaging is performed in an operating room at 15-20° C. First, a phase change coolant with a mass ratio of 1:4-6 to litchi is placed at the bottom of an aluminum foil insulation bag, followed by an antibacterial fresh-keeping absorbent pad, followed by pre-treated fresh litchi, which is then sealed in an aluminum foil insulation bag and then sealed in a foam box made of polypropylene plastic foam;

[0009] The antibacterial and fresh-keeping absorbent pad comprises three layers, an upper layer of water-permeable non-woven fabric, a middle layer of water-absorbing and antibacterial composite material, and a lower layer of water-impermeable film;

[0010] The formula of the composite phase-change coolant is 0.4-0.6% gellan gum, 0.8-1.2% xanthan gum, 0.8-1.2% erythritol, 0.8-1.2% sodium alginate, 2-4% glycerol, 0.8-1.2% NH4Cl, 0.8-1.2% KCl, 0.1-0.3% potassium sorbate, 0.8-1.2% Al2O3 nanoparticles, and the rest is deionized water.

[0011] The phase change temperature of the composite phase change refrigerant is 0-4°C, the phase change latent heat is 130-138J / kg, and there is no supercooling and phase separation phenomenon; the energy released for a long time can keep the packaging environment relatively low temperature, inhibit breathing and decay, and have a long-term cold storage effect;

[0012] The composite phase-change refrigerant is prepared by heating glycerol, NH4Cl, KCl, sodium alginate, composite nanoparticles and water in a water bath at 40-50°C for 40-50 minutes, adding the remaining components and stirring evenly, and then performing an ice bath at 0-3°C for 30-40 minutes.

[0013] The composite nanoparticles are obtained by mixing Al2O3 nanoparticles and nano-titanium dioxide in a mass ratio of 3:1-3; the added composite nanoparticles have a large specific surface area, can promote the heterogeneous nucleation of hydrates, and the synergistic effect of the two nanoparticles can improve the energy storage density and thermal conductivity;

[0014] The water-absorbing antibacterial composite is prepared by heat-treating activated carbon and zeolite in a mass ratio of 11-15:21-27 to prepare a wall material, compounding lemongrass essential oil and eucalyptus essential oil in a mass ratio of 1:1-3 to prepare a wall core, embedding the wall material and the wall core in a mass ratio of 10:1, and then freeze-drying the composite.

[0015] The modified β-cyclodextrin is prepared by adding olefin anhydride to β-cyclodextrin at a mass ratio of 11-14:1-3, stirring for 40-50 minutes, adjusting the pH to 5-7, adding 10-20wt% sodium silicate solution, stirring at 3000-4000rpm for 10-20 minutes, and heating at 70-80°C for 8-12 minutes; the anhydride can improve the cationic performance and introduce sulfhydryl groups, and the sodium silicate solution combined with high-speed stirring can increase the cavity structure of cyclodextrin and improve its inclusion effect.

[0016] The heat treatment is performed at a pressure of 3-6 MPa and a temperature of 90-100° C. for 3-5 hours.

[0017] The water-absorbing antibacterial compound can slowly release substances such as nerol, linalool, citronellal, etc. during transportation, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in the packaging bag. At the same time, due to the mild release rate, it does not harm the peel; the activated carbon and zeolite can absorb the carbon dioxide gas produced by the respiration of the fruit, reduce the anaerobic respiration of the fruit, reduce odor substances and rot; the antibacterial preservation pad can effectively isolate the fruit from direct contact with the cold storage agent to avoid frostbite of the fruit;

[0018] The aluminum foil insulation bag is an aluminum foil bag with an inner layer of pearl cotton, and the inner layer of the pearl cotton is coated with a polymer waterproof layer with a thickness of 2-4 mm;

[0019] The coating method of the polymer waterproof layer is as follows: hydroxy resin and hydroxy silicone oil are mixed and coated on the pearl cotton in a mass ratio of 1:0.1-0.4, and then the mixture is mixed with hot melt adhesive and cold-sense non-woven fabric to form the inner layer of the pearl cotton through a hot press; the hydroxy silicone oil can improve the water resistance, antibacterial and mechanical properties of the resin with hydroxy properties, and the polymer waterproof layer can be accumulated in a large size in the cotton fiber, and has the ability to absorb water and isolate oxygen; the cold-sense non-woven fabric is water-permeable and breathable, easy to dry, and does not accumulate water, thereby reducing the rot of the contact surface between the fruit and the packaging bag;

[0020] The main material of the foam box is polypropylene plastic foam material, with a wall thickness of ≥20mm;

[0021] (3) Finally, pack into ordinary cartons for transportation.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] The invention provides a low-carbon fresh-keeping litchi room-temperature storage and transportation method. The litchi is pretreated and then packaged for fresh-keeping using a package containing a phase-change cooling agent, an antibacterial fresh-keeping water-absorbing pad and an aluminum foil insulation bag. The phase-change cooling agent contains an expanded loose component, can carry nanoparticles for synergistic effect, can effectively promote hydrate nucleation, and has good mass transfer performance, high thermal conductivity, and high temperature control ability. The antibacterial fresh-keeping water-absorbing pad contains a water-absorbing and antibacterial composite material, which is compounded with a porous material through modified beta-cyclodextrin and loaded with essential oil, has strong adsorption, can effectively inhibit bacteria and absorb moisture at the same time; the aluminum foil insulation bag is coated with a polymer waterproof layer, which can absorb water vapor and condensed water generated by the respiration of the litchi in the bag, and at the same time increase the air permeability of the pearl cotton to reduce the decay rate of the fruit; the packaging method of the invention can have temperature control, antibacterial and dry air permeability, effectively preserve the litchi, and is low-carbon, environmentally friendly, simple and efficient, and has strong promotion.

[0070] Table 2 Changes in soluble solids content of litchi pulp

[0071]

[0072] As shown in Table 2, the soluble solids content of the litchi during storage and transportation according to the method of the embodiment of the present invention is higher. Compared with the control group, the taste of the litchi after storage and transportation according to the present invention is better.
