Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of fruit storage, and particularly relates to a low-carbon fresh-keeping litchi normal-temperature storage and transportation packaging method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Litchi is a representative fruit in tropical and subtropical regions, rich in various vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates, and is loved by consumers due to its rich nutrition and sweet taste. However, postharvest litchi is prone to rotting, browning and pathogenic infection, which seriously affects its shelf life and market value. E-commerce logistics is the most important sales mode, which connects supply and demand, reduces intermediate links, and has the advantages of wide sales range and high profit. However, only about 10% of litchi is sold through e-commerce logistics, and the main problems are as follows: 1) litchi is sold in a concentrated period, is prone to rotting and browning, and is difficult to sell over a long distance; 2) the cold chain infrastructure is poor, and the cold chain express cost is high, so the income is difficult to guarantee; 3) the current cold storage and transportation equipment is mainly mechanical refrigerated vehicles, which are not only economical and environmentally friendly, but also may have the phenomenon of “large vehicles transporting small goods”. Therefore, it is particularly important to maintain the storage temperature of food during transportation through other means. At present, the transportation mode used by litchi e-commerce logistics is mainly foam box plus ice, but there are still the following problems: 1) the ice or ice bag (cold accumulator) is not used in a standardized manner, and the fruits near the ice bag are prone to freezing injury and rotting; 2) the weight of the ice bag occupies the actual transportation weight and transportation space of the fruits, increasing the transportation cost. In view of the above problems, the actual transportation environment is considered, and a composite fresh-keeping technology is used to develop a litchi e-commerce logistics cold accumulator with high latent heat, good heat conduction, no corrosion, good circulation performance, long-term cold storage and environmental protection requirements, so as to realize long-distance sales of litchi through e-commerce logistics at normal temperature, effectively reduce the transportation cost, improve the quality of litchi fruits, and promote the sales proportion of litchi through e-commerce logistics, and realize the increase of litchi production and income. SUMMARY

[0007] The precooling temperature is set to 10-15℃; if the precooling temperature is too low, the litchi is prone to browning during e-commerce logistics, and if the precooling temperature is too high, the litchi produces more water vapor accumulation due to respiratory heat;

[0008] (2) Packaging: packaging is carried out in the operating room at 15-20℃, first put the phase change cold storage agent with a mass ratio of 1:4-6 to litchi into the bottom of the aluminum foil heat preservation bag, then put the bacteriostatic fresh-keeping water absorption pad, then put the pretreated fresh litchi, seal the aluminum foil heat preservation bag, and then put it into the foam box of polypropylene plastic foaming material for sealing;

[0016] The heat treatment is heating at a pressure of 3-6 MPa and a temperature of 90-100 DEG C for 3-5 h.

[0017] The water absorption and bacteriostasis compound can slowly release orange flower alcohol, linalool, citronellal and the like during transportation to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the packaging bag, and due to the moderate release rate, the fruit peel is not damaged; the activated carbon and the zeolite can adsorb carbon dioxide gas generated by the respiration of the fruit, reduce the anaerobic respiration of the fruit, and reduce the generation of peculiar smell substances and rot; the bacteriostasis and preservation pad can effectively isolate the fruit from direct contact with the cold storage agent to avoid freezing injury to the fruit.

[0018] The aluminum foil heat preservation bag is an aluminum foil bag with a pearl cotton inner layer, and the pearl cotton inner layer is coated with a high molecular waterproof layer with a thickness of 2-4 mm.

[0019] The coating mode of the high molecular waterproof layer is that a hydroxyl resin and a hydroxyl silicone oil are mixed and coated on the pearl cotton at a mass ratio of 1:0.1-0.4, and the pearl cotton inner layer is formed by a hot press machine together with hot melt adhesive and cold non-woven fabric; the hydroxyl silicone oil can improve the water resistance, antibacterial property and mechanical property of the resin with a hydroxyl group, the high molecular waterproof layer can be stacked in a large size in the cotton fiber and has water absorption and oxygen isolation capacity; the cold non-woven fabric has water permeability and air permeability, is easy to dry, does not accumulate water, and reduces the rot of the contact surface between the fruit and the packaging bag.
