Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional materials, relates to a video preservative, and specifically relates to an ozonated oil microcapsule capable of inhibiting aflatoxin, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aspergillus flavus is a fungus that can produce aflatoxin, a strong carcinogen. It is a hidden danger that needs to be prevented in foods such as nuts and grains. If nuts and grains are not stored properly, they are easily contaminated by aflatoxin, causing food spoilage and reduced nutritional value. Eating food contaminated with aflatoxin may cause acute poisoning, and long-term low-dose intake will increase the risk of cancers such as liver cancer.

[0003] At present, there are many methods to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus flavus and the production of toxins, such as chemical preservatives, physical sterilization technology, etc. However, the use of chemical preservatives may bring food safety risks, and some consumers are resistant to it; although physical sterilization technology is relatively safe, it may cause certain damage to the quality and nutritional content of food.

[0004] Ozone is a strong oxidant that can destroy the cell structure of Aspergillus flavus, damage the biomacromolecules of Aspergillus flavus and inhibit the synthesis of aflatoxin. Therefore, it has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of Aspergillus flavus. However, ozone is in gaseous state, unstable and has a difficult odor. Ozonized oil is derived from ozone and has good antibacterial properties, but it is in liquid state, chemically unstable and easy to decompose. It is difficult to maintain the effect of direct use and is inconvenient to store and transport. Summary of the invention

[0011] Step 4: According to the total volume of sodium alginate solution A and gelatin solution B and CaCl 2 The solution volume ratio is (1.6-4): 1. Add CaCl with a mass concentration of 1-3% to the reaction system in step 3. 2 The solution was stirred for 30-50 min, and then centrifuged, washed and dried to obtain ozonated oil microcapsules.
