  • Publication number: 20210120831
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a green color-protecting bacteriostatic crisp-preserving fresh-cut sweetheart apple and biological preservation technology. Two fermentation liquids of Xanthomonas campestris and Lactobacillus plantarum are separately fermented, and are removal of the bacterial species, and then mixed in the ratio of 1:1 to obtain a bacterial solution, the bacterial solution is diluted 20-30 times for use, and then calcium chloride with a final concentration of 1-5 wt % is added to the bacterial solution. The extracellular polysaccharide produced by the metabolism of xanthomonas in the fresh keeping agent in the present disclosure is a safe food additive, which has good film-forming, thickening, stabilizing and water-holding effects, and strong biological activity. Acidic substances produced by the metabolism of Lactobacillus plantarum have bacteriostatic effects. Besides, calcium is a common substance used to keep the fruits and vegetables crisp after harvest.

  • Publication number: 20210120852
    Abstract: The disclosure provides chips formed by slicing with an apple cell clean water jet scalpel and a processing technology. The processing technology comprises the following specific steps: harvesting fresh fruits, sorting, peeling, slicing, drying and packaging to obtain the apple crispy chip. According to the disclosure, the tangxin apple is peeled by adopting an ultrahigh pressure water jet flow cutting technology, cut into slices with a thickness of 5 mm and inoculated for 15 min in 30° C. and 30% Lactobacillus brevis fermentation broth. PPO is a terminal oxidase with Cu2+ as a prosthetic group, and Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum are complexed with Cu2+, leading to rapid oxygen consumption to generate organic acid and CO2, quickly reduction of pH and creation of an approximate oxygen-free environment to effectively inhibit PPO activity while removing oxygen required in enzymatic browning, thereby effectively inhibiting browning.
