Abstract

The invention discloses a method for retarding yellowing of fresh peeled water chestnuts and prolonging the storage period of the fresh peeled water chestnuts. The method comprises the following steps: (1) cleaning the water chestnuts, and peeling the cleaned water chestnuts; and (2) soaking the fresh peeled water chestnuts obtained in the step (1) in distilled water, sterilizing and disinfecting, taking out and draining, soaking in a 0.1% or more 2, 3-dimethyl-5-phytyl quinoline aqueous solution for 30 minutes, taking out and draining, and storing at 1-4 DEG C. According to the method, the technical operation is simple, and only 0.1% or more of 2, 3-dimethyl-5-phytyl quinoline aqueous solution needs to be used for soaking for 30 minutes; the 2, 3-dimethyl-5-phytyl quinoline has no toxicity and no residue, and does not cause food safety problems; raw material consumption is low, and cost is low; the method has a very good effect and can delay yellowing of the fresh-cut water chestnuts for 24 days or more.
