The invention discloses an application of
glutaraldehyde cross-linked
chitosan for inhibiting growth of a
burkholderia cepacia complex. The glutaradehyde cross-linked
chitosan is prepared by the following steps of: adding
chitosan into
acetic acid solution, and stirring to be uniform, so as to obtain chitosan solution; mixing the chitosan solution with glutaradehyde solution, and stirring and reacting for 12-36h, so as to obtain hydrogel; and washing and
drying the hydrogel, so as to obtain the
glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan. The
glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan prepared by the invention has appropriate crosslinking degree, has good inhibiting effect on the
burkholderia cepacia complex when being used for
plant cultivation, and has good high temperature stability and anti-
bacteria durability; and the glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan prepared by the invention is used for preparing a
plant preservative film or
preservative coating applied to fruit vegetable transportation or stock preservation, thus
postharvest diseases can be effectively prevented, and
water retention and fresh keeping effects can be realized.
