The invention discloses a food natural compound preservative prepared from chitosan oligosaccharides, and relates to the technical field of food storage. The preservative comprises the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 18 to 26 percent of tea polyphenols, 6 to 10 percent of epsilon-polylysine, 21 to 38 percent of glycine, 2 to 4 percent of allicin, 15 to 25 percent of chitosan oligosaccharides, and 15 to 21 percent of cassia bark extract. According to the invention, the preservative effect of the obtained natural compound preservative is evaluated, and escherichia coli, bacillus subtilis, staphylococcus aureus, salmonella typhimurium, saccharomyces cerevisiae, aspergillus niger and penicillium citrinum are selected to evaluate the preservative effect, and the preservative hashigh eating safety. The natural compound preservative of the invention has strong bacteriostasis effect on common bacteria and fungi in foods, can be applied to foods without influencing original flavor and color, and has wide application range. The natural compound preservative of the invention is safe, nontoxic, efficient and practical.
