The application provides a modified Zein
Pickering emulsion, a preparation method thereof and application of the
Pickering emulsion in fresh-keeping of sandgrass at
room temperature, and belongs to the technical field of food fresh-keeping. The preparation method comprises the following steps: Zein is added into an alkaline solution for amino treatment, and after high-temperature reaction, the solution is cooled and the pH value of the solution is adjusted. After removing impurities, the
solid sample is obtained through freeze-
drying; the obtained sample is added into water together with another natural extract for reaction, the solution is transferred after a period of time, and impurities are removed, and then the modified Zein
polymer coating is obtained through freeze-
drying; the modified Zein material is added into water together with cinnamyl
aldehyde, and after emulsification by using an ultrasonic
homogenizer, the target
Pickering emulsion is obtained. The Pickering
emulsion obtained by the application has the advantages of sustained
drug release, high external tolerance, anti-freeze-thaw cycle, excellent sterilization performance and outstanding
antioxidant performance, and can be applied to fresh-keeping of sandgrass at
room temperature.
