The invention provides a
postharvest fruit
preservative and fresh-keeping composite
bacteriostatic agent and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
postharvest fruit fresh-keeping, the composite
bacteriostatic agent is composed of at least two of ethyl protocatechuate,
sodium silicate, disodium
ethylene diamine tetraacetate and tamarind fruit kernel extracting solution; the concentrations of ethyl protocatechuate,
sodium silicate and disodium
ethylene diamine tetraacetate in the composite
bacteriostatic agent are not lower than the EC50 concentrations of the ethyl protocatechuate,
sodium silicate and disodium
ethylene diamine tetraacetate to
pathogenic bacteria, and the adding volume of the tamarind kernel extracting solution in the composite bacteriostatic agent is the same as the total volume of ethyl protocatechuate,
sodium silicate and disodium
ethylene diamine tetraacetate; the
pathogenic bacteria are at least one of citrus sour rot fungi,
penicillium digitatum, citrus green mold and citrus
colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The compound bacteriostatic agent disclosed by the invention can ensure
food safety and avoid the problem of environmental
pollution; the compound bacteriostatic agent has a remarkable and specific prevention and
treatment effect on main
postharvest citrus diseases caused by citrus sour rot fungi,
penicillium digitatum, citrus green mold and citrus anthrax, and can be used for developing a novel postharvest citrus
preservative.
