This invention discloses a perilla compound water-retaining agent and its application in deodorizing and retaining water in aquatic products, belonging to the field of
food processing technology. The water-retaining agent uses perilla extract as its
core component, combined with compound
cyclodextrin and 3,4-dimethoxy-3,5,7-trihydroxyflavone. The compound
cyclodextrin is prepared from citrate
monoglyceride compound
cyclodextrin. Through single-factor experiments combined with electronic
nose-assisted analysis, the optimal application process was determined using the fishy smell value and
color difference value of
marine fish as optimization indicators. When applied to
marine fish processing, the phenolic substances in the perilla extract can inhibit lipid and
protein oxidation, the compound cyclodextrin can specifically encapsulate fishy smell substances, and 3,4-dimethoxy-3,5,7-trihydroxyflavone jointly enhances
water retention performance, achieving effective deodorization, significantly reducing the content of
trimethylamine and nonenal, improving color stability, and optimizing
processing quality. It is suitable for various
aquatic product processing scenarios.
