Abstract:

To prolong the shelf-life of okra, taking Shangluo Platycodon grandiflorum as the research material, the effect of the compound coating agent containing polysaccharide extracted from P. grandiflorum on preserving okra was studied. Ultrasonic-assisted extraction was adopted to extract P. grandiflorum and the yield was 27.28%. The polysaccharide extraction solution was preliminarily purified by AB-8 macroporous resin. The order of bacteriostatic effect of P. grandiflorum polysaccharide on tested bacteria was as follows: Escherichia coli> Staphylococcus aureus> Salmonella. The compound coating agent was made of P. grandiflorum polysaccharide, sodium alginate, calcium chloride and citric acid, and the preservation experiment of okra was carried out, taking weight loss rate and chlorophyll content as indexes. Based on single factor experiments, response surface method was applied to optimize the formula of the compound coating agent. The results showed that the optimal formula was as follows: 2.98% P. grandiflorum polysaccharide solution+ 1.07% sodium alginate+ 1.42% calcium chloride+ 3.00% citric acid. Under the above formula, the compound coating agent was used for okra preservation and performed well. After 10 days at 25℃ and RH65%, the content of chlorophyll was 18.62 mg/100 g and the weight loss rate was 7.65%. The results can provide technical reference for the application of P. grandiflorum polysaccharide in fruit and vegetable storage.
