Description

Method for controlling color change of fresh-cut taros by using cinnamic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of inhibiting the color change of cut surfaces of fresh-cut food, in particular to a method for controlling the color change of fresh-cut taros by utilizing cinnamic acid.
Background
Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is perennial root herbaceous plant of Araceae (Araceae), also called taro and taro, and is a popular root vegetable. The fresh-cut taro is very popular with consumers because of the advantages of convenient eating, cleanness, sanitation, high edibility, convenience, rapidness and the like. However, in the shelf life of the fresh-cut taros, the cut surfaces are easy to change color, and the sensory quality is seriously influenced. The fresh-cut taros with the color-changed sections have the advantages that the commodity value is obviously reduced, the purchase willingness of consumers is low, and great economic loss can be caused to sellers.
Discoloration of fresh-cut taros can be related to phenol oxidative polymerization in which phenolase participates, and synthesis and accumulation of flavonoids induced by cutting treatment. The peeling and cutting treatment inevitably causes mechanical damage to the taros, and the mechanical damage is a damage signal for the taros and can induce the activity of phenol synthesis and oxidation related enzymes. Therefore, the discoloration of the fresh-cut taros can be delayed to a certain extent by inhibiting the synthesis of phenolic substances or inhibiting the oxidative polymerization of phenolic compounds. For example, the 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is used for treating the fresh-cut taros, so that the color losing of the fresh-cut taros during low-temperature storage can be avoided, and the main reason is that the 1-MCP treatment reduces the activity of taro phenylalanine ammonia lyase and the synthesis speed of phenolic substances, and inhibits the color change of the fresh-cut taros; the N-acetyl-L-cysteine and the L-cysteine with certain concentration are used for treating the fresh-cut taro singly or in combination, and the activity of phenol enzymes such as PPO (polyphenylene oxide) and the like is inhibited, so that the color change of the fresh-cut taro is delayed.
Therefore, the conventional method for inhibiting the taro section from discoloring mainly uses the chemical color fixative, but the effect of the chemical color fixative is directly related to the using concentration, and the higher the concentration is, the better the color protection effect is. However, consumers may have safety concerns about the use of chemical color fixative, even against the use of chemical color fixative on taro or other food, and high concentrations of chemical color fixative do present a greater risk of food safety. Therefore, the research and development of the plant source color-protecting preservative with high safety have important application value for keeping the sensory quality of the fresh-cut taros in the sale period and reducing the loss after picking.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention aims to provide a method for controlling the discoloration of fresh-cut taros by using cinnamic acid, which has the advantages of good inhibition effect on the discoloration of the fresh-cut taros, simple operation, no need of additional professional equipment, low cost, easy popularization and the like.
The technical purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a method for controlling color change of fresh-cut taros by utilizing cinnamic acid comprises the following specific steps:
soaking fresh-cut taros in a cinnamic acid solution, fishing out the soaked taros, draining the surface water at room temperature, and hermetically packaging and storing the fresh-cut taros at low temperature.
In one embodiment, the fresh-cut taros are soaked in 0.05-0.4 g/L cinnamic acid solution for 20-60 minutes. When the concentration of the cinnamic acid solution is too high, cinnamic acid can be precipitated from the aqueous solution, the higher the concentration is, the higher the cost is when the cinnamic acid solution is applied to the industry, fresh-cut taros need to be stored in a low-temperature environment, and the concentration of the cinnamic acid solution needs to be controlled in order to ensure that the cinnamic acid solution can normally play a role in inhibiting discoloration.
In one embodiment, the fresh-cut taros are soaked in 0.05-0.4 g/L cinnamic acid solution for 25-40 minutes. It should be noted that the soaking time needs to be controlled, when the soaking time is too long, the quality of the fresh-cut taros at room temperature will be reduced quickly, and when the soaking time is too short, the discoloration inhibition effect of the cinnamic acid solution is poor.
In one embodiment, after the water on the surface of the fresh-cut taros is drained, the taros are hermetically packaged by using a 0.02-0.04 mm plastic film bag, so that the taros are prevented from being exposed to the air. The fresh-cut food is mainly subjected to enzymatic browning, oxygen participates in the enzymatic browning, and the aim of sealed packaging is to reduce the oxygen concentration.
In one embodiment, the fresh-cut taros are sealed and packaged and then stored in a low-temperature and constant-temperature environment at 4-5 ℃. The invention controls the storage temperature, when the storage temperature is higher, pathogenic microorganisms are active, the fresh-cut taros are quickly rotten and deteriorated, and the storage period is short. When the temperature is high, the activity of pathogenic microorganisms is high, and taros are easy to rot and deteriorate; in addition, the color change of the fresh-cut taros is mainly enzymatic browning, the enzyme activity is related to the temperature, and the enzyme activity can be inhibited at low temperature.
In one embodiment, the taro is a taro bulb which is just harvested or does not exceed 72 hours after harvesting and is cleaned, peeled and cut.
In one embodiment, the preparation method of the 0.05 g/L-0.4 g/L cinnamic acid solution comprises the steps of dissolving cinnamic acid in a small amount of absolute ethyl alcohol, and fixing the volume to a corresponding concentration by using a volumetric flask to prepare the 0.05 g/L-0.4 g/L cinnamic acid solution. Wherein the water for preparing the cinnamic acid solution is distilled water, tap water, well water or purified water.
In conclusion, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) The fresh-cut taro color fixative used in the invention is derived from spice plants, is widely used as a spice additive, is applied to the food industry, has high safety and high consumer acceptance;
(2) The method has good effect of inhibiting the discoloration of the fresh-cut taros, and the fresh-cut taros treated by the cinnamic acid with the concentration of more than 0.1g/L still keep bright color when stored at low temperature for 12 days, which indicates that the discoloration of the fresh-cut taros can be obviously inhibited by the cinnamic acid treatment;
(3) The color fixative used in the invention has low concentration, 0.1g/L cinnamic acid can effectively inhibit the color change of the fresh-cut taros, and the invention has the advantages of good color fixative effect, simple operation, no need of additional professional equipment, low cost, easy popularization and the like.
