Background technology
Fruit and vegetable after gathering remains the organism with vital movement, and respiration is the most important embodiment of its vital movement.The key of adopting rear preserving fruit and vegetable utilizing is, should maintain its normal physiological activity, creates it again close to the condition needed for minimum physiological activity, to reduce own matter and energy loss, Delay of ripeness and aging.Air conditioned storage is considered to one of the most effective fruit and vegetable preserving method.In normal atmosphere, oxygen content is 20.9%, and carbon dioxide content is 0.03%, and fruits and vegetables under such circumstances respiration are vigorous, causes that endotrophic material consumption is fast, quality deterioration is rapid.Air conditioned storage refers on suitable low temperature basis, reached by the content (1 ~ 5%) that reduces oxygen and the content that improves carbon dioxide (1 ~ 15%) and suppress to adopt the respiration of rear fruits and vegetables, thus postponement ripening and senescence and putrid and deteriorated generation, to prolong storage period.
Air conditioned storage can be divided into two large classes, i.e. artificial air conditioned storage (Controlled atmosphere storage) and modified atmosphere storage (Modified atmosphere storage).Artificial air conditioned storage refers in air-conditioned cold store, according to the wish of product category and people, the oxygen content in the air-conditioned cold store of sealing is reduced and carbon dioxide is brought up to proper ratio and keeps a kind of stable air conditioned storage method.Artificial air conditioned storage can strictly control due to the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide content, and thus storage effect is good.Modified atmosphere storage method utilizes plastic film bag or bubble chamber packaging fruit and vegetable food, utilizes the respiration of fruits and vegetables self to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, gradually reduction storage environment oxygen content to improve constantly a kind of air conditioned storage method of carbon dioxide content simultaneously.Because modified atmosphere storage carrys out adjustments of gas content by respiration, thus efficiency is lower, storage effect is not ideal enough.Large quantity research shows, reduces separately oxygen concentration or improves gas concentration lwevel, also can suppress the respiration of fruit to a certain extent, prolong storage period.Applicant's early-stage Study also finds, when normal oxygen concentratio, the ability that many fruits and vegetables stand high concentration carbon dioxide can increase substantially.
Although artificial Effect of Air-adjustment Storing is good, air-conditioned cold store construction cost and operating cost high, operation technique is complicated, and current China only has only a few air-conditioned cold store to drop into commerciality application.Fruits and vegetables modified atmosphere storage is simple, with low cost, obtains a large amount of commercial applications in China.But because spontaneous controlled-atmosphere mainly relies on the respiration of fruits and vegetables self to carry out adjustments of gas concentration, need the long period just can reach concentration level required for air conditioned storage, thus can not give full play to the advantage of air conditioned storage.
Dry ice is solid-state carbon dioxide, and temperature is-78.6 DEG C.Carbon dioxide is sublimed into rapidly after absorbing environmental heat, the temperature of surrounding environment can be reduced at ambient pressure during gasification, and can not liquid be produced, without any residual, non-toxic, free from extraneous odour, be widely used in the fresh-keeping of the food such as aquatic products, meat product, ice cream moon cakes at present.Bubble chamber adopts maximum packaging material in the current fruit and vegetable storage and transportation of China, is applicable to those fruit and vegetable foods being easy to damage as broccoli, cabbage heart, cabbage mustard, lichee, strawberry, grape, banana etc.
Have in prior art and dry ice is used for the fresh-keeping report such as red bayberry, apple, but these methods are only as cooling or the means of oxygen barrier using dry ice, it is fresh-keeping also will carry out specially treated, as carried out independent packaging to fruits and vegetables, and nitrogen is filled with in packaging, these preservation process are numerous and diverse, increase fresh-keeping cost, very easily occur the frostbite problem of dry ice (-78.6 DEG C) to fruit and vegetable food.
When dry ice being used for preserving fruit and vegetable utilizing in prior art, normally first fruits and vegetables are loaded in packaging bag, packaging bag is filled with nitrogen, pack, then packaged fruits and vegetables are put into storage casing, after placing fruits and vegetables, just can add dry ice in casing, at this moment, dry ice only plays the effect of cooling, because dry ice directly contacts with packaging bag, also very easily causes fruits and vegetables frostbite; And the carbon dioxide gas cognition that dry ice of the present invention produces is discharged in whole storage casing by the hole on package body, now gas concentration lwevel improves, thus changes the gaseous state of fruits and vegetables surrounding environment, fruit and vegetable food is played to the effect of controlled atmosphere; In addition, dry ice can also play certain cooling effect in vaporescence, and namely dry ice plays the effect of controlled atmosphere and cooling simultaneously.Because dry ice due to the good thermal insulation effect of bubble chamber, avoids the frostbite problem of dry ice to fruit and vegetable food in little bubble chamber.
Because carbon dioxide has good permeability and thermal insulation effect to bubble chamber, preferably, described storage casing is the cuboid bubble chamber of length, width and height 0.4m × 0.3m × 0.3m, and described package body is also bubble chamber.Described bubble chamber is the fruit and vegetable storage and transportation bubble chamber of all size general on fruits and vegetables market; Described little bubble chamber is the bubble chamber of small volume that is special or that process voluntarily, and size with about 15*15*15cm, but is not limited to this specification size.
Particularly, above-mentioned preservation method is: the fresh fruit of vegetables through conventional post-harvest fresh-keeping process is carried out abundant precooling and be placed in all size foam packaging box general on market, namely first one deck fruits and vegetables are kept flat at the bottom of bubble chamber, then the little bubble chamber of an about 15*15*15cm is placed in case central authorities, appropriate dry ice is put in case, cover bubble chamber lid, little foam case lid and side is each makes a call to 1 ~ 2 aperture, last around bubble chamber and above place fruits and vegetables until trunkful, packing instructions cover foam case lid routinely afterwards, then with the sealing of joint sealing paper, low temperature storing and transporting or insulation storing routinely.
Conventional fruits and vegetables modified atmosphere storage mode, as bubble chamber or Packing treatment, needs 2 ~ 4 talentes substantially to reach gas condition (carbon dioxide reaches 5 ~ 10%, oxygen concentration 10 ~ 15%) required by air conditioned storage usually; Produce the principle of great amount of carbon dioxide when the present invention utilizes dry ice to gasify to improve rapidly the gas concentration lwevel in bubble chamber, in very short time, meet or exceed the carbon dioxide concentration levels needed for air conditioned storage; And the oxygen concentration now in case is still kept at higher level, greatly can also improve the endurance of fruits and vegetables to high carbon dioxide like this.Bubble chamber has stronger permeability to carbon dioxide, and the gas concentration lwevel after about 12 hours in bubble chamber can maintain the perfect condition of about 10%, avoids the injury that high carbon dioxide causes.On the other hand, because dry ice cold-storage is strong, the heat of surrounding air need be absorbed during dry ice gasification, contribute to the temperature reducing or maintain in bubble chamber, improve fresh-keeping effect further.The effect of n e central vesicle foam case is mainly isolation dry ice and fruit and vegetable food, in order to avoid fruits and vegetables produce freeze injury because directly contacting dry ice.
Preferably, described fruits and vegetables are to the insensitive fresh fruits and vegetables of gathering of carbon dioxide, such as broccoli, cabbage heart, cabbage mustard, strawberry, lichee, banana etc., but are not limited to above-mentioned fruits and vegetables; Dry ice is added in the bubble chamber of packaging fruits and vegetables, in 1 hour, in case, gas concentration lwevel can reach 20 ~ 30%, after 12 ~ 24 h, gas concentration lwevel is reduced to more stable state (about 10%), oxygen concentration can be reduced to about 10% from 20% in 24 hours, and the gas condition arriving more satisfactory fruit and vegetable air-conditioning storage is more faster than conventional spontaneous controlled-atmosphere.This preservation method can suppress the respiration of fruits and vegetables better, can keep fruit-vegetable quality better, and fruits and vegetables rotting rate is also lower, thus extends freshness date and improve commodity rate.
Also the report utilizing dry ice to carry out preserving fruit and vegetable utilizing is had in prior art, but these methods are only using the means of dry ice as cooling, it is fresh-keeping also will carry out specially treated, as carried out independent packaging to fruits and vegetables, and nitrogen is filled with in packaging, these preservation process are numerous and diverse, increase fresh-keeping cost, very easily occur the frostbite problem of dry ice (-78.6 DEG C) to fruit and vegetable food.And preservation method of the present invention is only add dry ice in the bubble chamber of storage fruits and vegetables, can in short time realization to the controlled atmosphere of fruits and vegetables and cooling-down effect, and utilize bubble chamber to the high-permeability of carbon dioxide, bubble chamber penetrates too high carbon dioxide on this basis further, avoid the high carbon dioxide injury of fruits and vegetables thus make the gaseous state that fruits and vegetables reach desirable at short notice, for the storage of fruits and vegetables and transport are laid a solid foundation.The thermal insulation effect utilizing bubble chamber good, the dry ice in little bubble chamber is unlikely to cause frostbite to fruit and vegetable food.
Preferably, in the bubble chamber of often liter of capacity, the addition of dry ice is 0.06 ~ 0.9g; In 1 hour, gas concentration lwevel can reach 5 ~ 30%.
Preferably, described abundant precooling refers to for specific fruits and vegetables, and the temperature of fruit and vegetable food is pre-chilled to its patient minimum temperature, and such as broccoli, cabbage heart, cabbage mustard and strawberry are pre-chilled to 0 ~ 1 DEG C; Banana is pre-chilled to 10 ~ 12 DEG C; Litchi fruits is pre-chilled to 1 ~ 3 DEG C.
Preferably, described fresh fruit of vegetables through gathering, selecting, classification and conventional Preservation Treatment.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has following beneficial effect:
The invention provides a kind of method of preserving fruit and vegetable utilizing, namely in the storage casing that fully precooled fresh fruit of vegetables is housed, place the inner package body that dry ice is housed, described package body is provided with perforate, and storage casing packs, Conventional cryogenic storing or insulation storing; Dry ice is added in the storage casing of packaging fruits and vegetables, the carbon dioxide that dry ice is formed directly contacts with fruits and vegetables through the hole on package body, in 1 hour, in case, gas concentration lwevel can reach 20 ~ 30%, after 12 ~ 24 h, gas concentration lwevel is reduced to more stable state (about 10%), oxygen concentration can be reduced to about 10% from 20% in 24 hours, and the gas condition arriving more satisfactory fruit and vegetable air-conditioning storage is more faster than conventional spontaneous controlled-atmosphere.And solve the frostbite problem of dry ice to fruits and vegetables.This preservation method can make to reach desirable gaseous state more quickly than conventional modified atmosphere storage in the storage of fruit and vegetable food after gathering, transport and sales process, more effectively suppresses the respiration of fruits and vegetables, maintains vitality and the premunition of fruits and vegetables.The method is simple, with low cost, be widely used, excellent effect, and in purchasing station, packing shop, freezer, the various occasion such as wholesale market or retail market all can implement.
