The invention provides an edible natural apple essence sustained-release liposome and a preparation method thereof. The liposome is prepared from soybean lecithin as a wall material, cholesterol as awall material structure regulator, and natural apple essence as an embedded core material. According to the invention, the natural apple essence is embedded into vesicles formed by liposomes, so thatthe slow release of the natural apple essence in the using process is realized. Compared with the prior art, the edible natural apple essence sustained-release liposome and the method have the following beneficial effects: 1, the method has few operation steps, is simple and efficient, and is beneficial to the popularization of the technology and the large-scale production of industrialization; 2,the edible natural apple essence liposome prepared by the method has stable properties, and is convenient for long-term storage, transportation and application; and 3, the edible natural apple essence liposome prepared by the method can be used for the preparation of active packaging materials of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, particularly for the flavor regulation and control of fresh-cut apple packaging, and can effectively make up the flavor loss of the fresh-cut fruits and vegetables and improve the product quality.
