The invention belongs to the technical field of
food preservation, and relates to a beef preservation method based on combination of composite
essential oil nanoemulsion and an alternating
magnetic field, which comprises the following steps: putting beef treated by the composite
essential oil nanoemulsion into a
refrigeration device with the alternating
magnetic field for
refrigeration; the composite
essential oil nanoemulsion is prepared from the following raw materials: perilla essential oil,
amomum tsao-ko essential oil,
zanthoxylum armatum essential oil, a
chitosan acetic acid solution, Tween 80, water and absolute ethyl
alcohol. The beef is preserved by combining the compound essential oil
nano emulsion treatment and the alternating
magnetic field refrigeration treatment, so that the increase of the pH value, volatile basic
nitrogen and the total number of bacterial colonies in the storage process of the chilled beef is effectively inhibited, the oxidation of fat and
protein is inhibited, and the water-retaining property, the texture property and the sensory quality of the product are effectively maintained; the physicochemical and oxidation quality of the chilled beef in the refrigeration period is improved, the growth of microorganisms is effectively inhibited, and the
shelf life of the product is prolonged by 5-6 days.
