The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogel, in particular to a preparation method and application of EGCG-mediated hydrogel, a
lysozyme solution is heated under the acidic condition to form
lysozyme amyloid fibrils LAFs, EGCG is dissolved in a
buffer solution and mixed with the LAFs solution obtained in the step 1 in proportion to form an LAFs-EGCG compound, and the EGCG-mediated hydrogel is prepared. The
chitosan CS is dissolved in an
acetic acid buffer solution,
glutaraldehyde is added to serve as a cross-linking agent, the mixture is mixed with the LAFs-EGCG compound obtained in the step 2 and stirred, the composite hydrogel is formed, the concentration of EGCG is 0.2-1.0 wt%, the concentration of LAFs is 5 wt%, the concentration of
chitosan is 2 wt%, the pH value of the
lysozyme solution in the step 1 is 2.0, the
heating temperature is 77 DEG C, the
heating time is 10 hours, the concentration of EGCG in the step 2 is 0.4-0.8 wt%, and the pH value of the lysozyme solution in the step 2 is 1.5-2.5. In the step 3, the concentration of
glutaraldehyde is 2%, the storage modulus G'of the hydrogel is 325-480 Pa, the
hardness is 2176.71 g, and the bacteriostasis rate on
staphylococcus aureus and
salmonella exceeds 95%.
