The invention discloses an antibacterial
antioxidant degradable
composite film for litchi preservation and a preparation method thereof, and mainly relates to the field of fruit and vegetable preservation. The
adhesive is prepared by mixing
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA),
fumed silica (FS),
polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400),
melatonin (MT) and
eugenol (EG). The method further comprises the following steps: S1, preparing a PVA solution; s2, adding PEG (
Polyethylene Glycol) 400 into S1, and uniformly stirring; s3, weighing a certain amount of FS, MT and EG, and dissolving the FS, MT and EG in absolute ethyl
alcohol; s4, adding the
mixed solution in the step S3 into the
mixed solution in the step S2, and homogenizing; and S5, carrying out defoaming,
curtain coating and
drying treatment on the solution treated in the step S4 to finally obtain the PVA / FS / MT / EG
composite film. The method has the advantages that the method can be used as a
physical barrier, color deterioration,
browning and rotting of the Feizixiao litchis can be actively and effectively inhibited under normal-temperature and low-temperature conditions through the synergistic effect of active ingredients in the film, and the
shelf life of the collected Feizixiao litchis can be well prolonged.
