Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food active packaging, and particularly relates to a kind of food source base active coating for preventing dry consumption under ultra-low temperature condition and preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Low-temperature frozen storage is one of the commonly used means to extend the shelf life of food. However, the freezing process can have adverse effects on the taste characteristics and nutritional value of food. Although the formation of large ice crystals can be effectively inhibited under ultra-low temperature freezing conditions of-20℃ to-50℃, micro-ice crystals can still penetrate cell structures such as muscle fibers of meat or cell walls of fruits and vegetables during rapid freezing. With the extension of storage time, the color of the food surface gradually darkens, and the moisture and starch content also show a downward trend, and the phenomenon of dry consumption of food gradually becomes serious. Frozen dry consumption refers to the phenomenon of weight loss and quality decline due to water sublimation or evaporation during freezing or long-term frozen storage of food. This process mainly involves the loss of water on the surface and shallow layer of food, which is manifested as dryness, discoloration, and rough texture.
[0003] To solve the key problems such as serious dry loss, quality deterioration and so on in the super-low temperature (-20℃-50℃) storage in cold regions, such as reducing water loss during frozen storage, maintaining the flavor and texture of the product, reducing fat oxidation and prolonging the shelf life, developing edible frozen protective coating technology suitable for extreme cold environment has become an important innovation direction and technical breakthrough in the field of super-low temperature food engineering. The method disclosed in the Chinese invention patent number CN119498393A "ice coating liquid for mussels and preparation method and application thereof" uses an ice coating liquid mainly composed of propylene glycol and xanthan gum for mussel preservation. The ice coating in this invention is thick and heavy, which reduces the economic benefits during transportation and storage, and the application of ice coating also increases the difficulty of eating. The method disclosed in the Chinese invention patent number CN113995012A "a method for preserving and storing macadamia nuts" provides a low-temperature preservation method for nuts, but it does not study the storage of nuts in such super-low temperature environment as -(20-50)℃. The method disclosed in the Chinese invention patent number CN119744901A "anti-ice crystal frozen dough and its application in baked foods" uses an anti-freeze peptide and a polyphenol to form a conjugate, and the gel made of the conjugate is added to the dough to improve the easy oxidation characteristics of the dough during frozen storage. However, this kind of strategy based on glycosylation conjugate may face challenges in maintaining the integrity of gel network structure and the sustained release efficiency of active ingredients in deep cold or super-low temperature environment with drastic temperature fluctuations. The Chinese invention patent number CN119817641A "a method for preserving vegetables based on super-low temperature quick-freezing technology" uses super-low temperature technology to freeze and preserve vegetables, but it directly adds antioxidants, which lose activity quickly. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is urgent to explore new dry-loss-preventing food-based active coating. SUMMARY
