  • Patent number: 12364272
    Abstract: A fruit post-harvest disinfection and conveying production line is provided. The production line solves the problem of waxberry type fruits, that is, due to the exposed flesh, it is necessary to minimize the time that water remains on the surface of the fruit during the spraying disinfection process. The fruit post-harvest disinfection and conveying production line includes a workbench, where the workbench is provided with multiple sets of conveyor belts; each set of conveyor belts includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt; an upper part of a front end of the conveyor belts is provided with an inclined feeding hopper; and the feeding hopper is provided with feeding ports corresponding to each set of conveyor belts.

  • Publication number: 20250026776
    Abstract: A method for simultaneously separating and purifying myricetin-3-O-(2?-O-galloyl)-a-L-rhamnoside and myricetin-3-O-(4?-O-galloyl)-a-L-rhamnoside from Bayberry leaves, and the use of the compounds prepared by the method. The method includes: (1) alcohol extraction and concentration: mixing Bayberry leaves with an alcohol solution; (2) solid-phase extraction column adsorption: injecting the crude Bayberry leaf flavonol alcohol extract into a solid-phase extraction column; washing with a mobile phase for the first gradient elution; (3) preparative liquid chromatography purification: using a solid-phase chromatography column; wherein the solid-phase extraction powder obtained from step (2) is subjected to a second gradient elution with a mobile phase and then processed to obtain the target products: myricetin-3-O-(2?-galloyl)-?-L-rhamnoside monomer and myricetin-3-O-(4?-galloyl)-?-L-rhamnoside monomer.

  • Publication number: 20240415134
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for reduced-medicine treatment for post-harvest preservation of bayberries. The method includes: (1) packing after picking: placing ripe bayberries into a skeletonized injection-molded package after picking, the bayberries being spaced apart and evenly arranged in the skeletonized injection-molded package; (2) low-concentration peroxyacetic acid solution treatment: spraying a peroxyacetic acid solution with a concentration of 0.1% onto a surface of the bayberries; and (3) atmospheric plasma treatment: performing an atmospheric plasma treatment on the bayberries treated with the peroxyacetic acid solution for 5 minutes, and temporarily storing the bayberries in a refrigerated warehouse at 4° C. after the treatment. By combining peroxyacetic acid with atmospheric plasma, an amount of peroxyacetic acid solution used can be effectively reduced and efficacy of the treatment can be increased.

  • Patent number: 11687862
    Abstract: A method for guiding a sales strategy of loquat fruits by evaluating and predicting quality of the loquat fruits is provided. The method slices and stains an equatorial plane of an loquat fruit and calculates a lignified cell density P of the equatorial plane of the loquat fruit, so as to guide a current price of a batch of loquat fruits. The current price of the loquat fruits increases as P decreases. The method analyzes a growth stage of the lignified cells and predicts a quality change trend value T of the batch of loquat fruits, so as to guide a storage strategy based on T. The loquat fruits are suitable for storage and transportation when T is high, and the loquat fruits need to be sold as soon as possible when T is low.
