The invention provides a biological
preservative for preserving shrimps. The biological
preservative is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 0.02 to 0.6 part of
phytic acid, 0.1 to 0.2 part of
glucose oxidase, 0.01 to 0.03 part of
lysozyme, 0.15 to 0.55 part of
succinic acid, 0.5 to 0.9 part of fructus mume
powder, 0.3 to 0.8 part of ground cloves
powder, 15 to 25 parts of water, 0.0001 to 0.0003 part of nanometer
ferric oxide, 0.2 to 0.3 part of
antioxidant, and 0.02 to 0.05 part of water retaining agent, wherein the
antioxidant contains 0.12 to 0.18 part of
vitamin C, 0.05 to 0.07 part of propylgallate and 0.03 to 0.05 part of
ethyl acetoacetate; the water retaining agent contains 0.008 to 0.018 part of
sorbitol, 0.009 to 0.022 part of glycerin, and 0.003 to 0.01 part of D-
gluconic acid. The biological
preservative has the beneficial effects that the anti-oxidizing function is realized, the oxidative rancidity of fat and self-degrading function of
protein are inhibited, and the
loss rate of
shrimp nutrition is decreased; the
bacteria-inhibiting function is realized, and the increase of total number of
bacteria and volatile basic
nitrogen is effectively relieved; the water retaining function is good, the water
loss rate of the shrimps in the transportation or preservation process is decreased, and the fresh-keeping time of the shrimps is greatly prolonged at the premises of ensuring the
flavor and mouth feel of the shrimps.
