  • Patent number: 11505656
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for embedding a load based on gel high hydrostatic pressure liquefaction. Using the phenomenon that the physical gel is liquefied under high pressure, the vacuum-packaged high-methoxyl pectin gel is treated under a pressure of 400-600 MPa for 5-30 min, mixed with the load, and then subjected to a pressure of 400-600 MPa for homogenization treatment for 5 to 30 min. After pressure relief, the liquefied gel is poured into a mold for reshaping, followed by removal of free water and coating treatment. This method combines the advantages of high hydrostatic pressure technology in modification and sterilization. It has mild embedding conditions and wide sources of raw materials to prepare the carrier, which has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. It can be widely used for embedding microorganisms, enzymes, proteins and small molecular substances. The loaded gel prepared by the method has high microbial safety, can effectively maintain the activity of the load.
