Description

Protein-based edible fruit preservative liquid TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of natural polymer materials and food preservation, and particularly relates to a protein-based edible fruit preservative liquid formed by a protein / polysaccharide / biobased nanoparticle composite and a film-forming agent. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fresh fruits are nutritious, but the postharvest handling, storage and preservation of fruits are affected by various external factors such as the harvest period, geographical location and the characteristics of the product itself, which can accelerate the respiration and self-consumption of fruits, and make the fruits more prone to aging and rotting, thereby increasing the difficulty of fruit preservation. In particular, during the harvesting process, there may be violent picking and collision, improper storage methods, or bacterial invasion, and fruits that have been mechanically damaged are more difficult to store. As a result, fruits may rot on a large scale, resulting in serious economic losses, especially for high-value fruits. There are many methods for preserving fruits at present, such as irradiation preservation, modified atmosphere packaging, low-temperature storage, chemical preservatives, etc. However, these methods have certain shortcomings, such as energy consumption, safety issues, technical backwardness, complex operation, inability to industrialize production, insufficient preservation effect, etc. Therefore, the development of safe and efficient preservation technology has become an urgent demand of the industry, market and consumers. With the continuous development of modern preservation technology and people's concerns about the harmful residues of chemical preservatives, the development and utilization of safe natural preservatives have attracted widespread attention, and the food science community has launched a research and application boom of edible preservation films for fruit preservation.

[0003] Edible coating treatment has a good inhibitory effect on enzymatic browning of cut fruits, and can also reduce water transpiration, respiration and ethylene production. However, most of the edible preservation coatings studied so far cannot be used for all fruits, including fresh-cut and non-fresh-cut fruits, and have poor spreading properties on the fruit skin, which cannot adhere to the relatively hydrophobic fruit skin.

[0004] SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a protein-based edible fruit preservative liquid with simple preparation method, safety and non-toxicity, which can adhere to the surface of any fruit and has good antibacterial performance and antioxidant properties, and to apply it to fresh-cut and non-fresh-cut fruits.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the protein-based edible fruit preservative solution adopted by the present application is a mixed solution of protein and film-forming agent compounded with polysaccharide compound and bio-based nanoparticles, and the preparation method is as follows: 1-500 mg / mL protein 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution and 1-500 mg / mL polysaccharide compound aqueous solution are mixed uniformly at a volume ratio of 1:1, 0.5%-5% bio-based nanoparticle dispersion liquid is added to the obtained mixed solution, and then 1-500 mg / mL film-forming agent 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution is added and mixed uniformly to obtain the preservative solution; wherein the volume ratio of the film-forming agent 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution to the protein 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution is 1:1, and the volume ratio of the bio-based nanoparticle dispersion liquid to the protein 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution is 0.5-1.5:1.

[0011] In the preparation method, 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution of 5-100 mg / mL protein and 5-100 mg / mL polysaccharide compound aqueous solution are mixed uniformly at a volume ratio of 1:1, a biobased nanoparticle dispersion liquid with a mass concentration of 0.5%-2% is added to the obtained mixed solution, 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution of 5-100 mg / mL film-forming agent is added after uniform mixing, and uniform mixing is continued to obtain the preservative solution.
