DESCRIPCIONDESCRIPTION

Composition de un recubrimiento comestible para la conservation de frutas y hortalizas, su proceso de preparation y modo de aplicacion sobre las frutas y hortalizas.Composition of an edible coating for the conservation of fruits and vegetables, its preparation process and mode of application on fruits and vegetables.

CAMPO DE APLICACIONSCOPE

La presente invention esta relacionada con la conservation de frutas y hortalizas, y propone una composition para un recubrimiento comestible, aplicable a escala industrial en forma de solution acuosa que comprende un polisacarido, alumbre, acido cltrico, chitosan y acido clorhldrico comercial. El recubrimiento es especialmente apropiado para su aplicacion sobre las frutas y hortalizas que son susceptibles a la deshidratacion superficial y al ataque de microorganismos. La invention tambien se refiere al proceso de fabrication y a la forma en que se aplica sobre las frutas y hortalizas.The present invention is related to the conservation of fruits and vegetables, and proposes a composition for an edible coating, applicable on an industrial scale in the form of an aqueous solution comprising a polysaccharide, alum, citric acid, chitosan and commercial hydrochloric acid. The coating is especially suitable for application on fruits and vegetables that are susceptible to surface dehydration and the attack of microorganisms. The invention also relates to the manufacturing process and the way in which it is applied to fruits and vegetables.

ESTADO DE LA TECNICASTATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

La fruta y la hortaliza fresca se deteriora cuando despues de la cosecha queda expuesta a condiciones ambientales durante un tiempo prolongado, y de forma acelerada si ha sufrido danos en la corteza o superficie, produciendose pardeamiento, ablandamiento, aparicion de sabores desagradables y crecimiento de microorganismos que reducen la vida util de estos productos agricolas.The fruit and fresh vegetables deteriorate when after the harvest it is exposed to environmental conditions for a prolonged time, and in an accelerated way if it has suffered damage to the crust or surface, producing browning, softening, appearance of unpleasant flavors and growth of microorganisms which reduce the shelf life of these agricultural products.

Una de las formas de ralentizar dichas reacciones de deterioro en el procesamiento de los productos agricolas, es realizar las operaciones industriales en cadena como lavado, pelado, troceado y envasado a temperaturas inferiores a 8 °C, inhibiendo de esta manera la actividad de las enzimas relacionadas con cambios de color y con procesos de degradation de textura, ademas de minimizar el crecimiento de microorganismos alterantes.One of the ways to slow down said deterioration reactions in the processing of agricultural products is to carry out industrial chain operations such as washing, peeling, chopping and packaging at temperatures below 8 ° C, thus inhibiting the activity of enzymes related to color changes and texture degradation processes, in addition to minimizing the growth of altering microorganisms.

Otra solucion ampliamente conocida es el uso de conservantes que, en combinacion con las bajas temperaturas, ayudan a conservar estos productos. Asl, por ejemplo se conoce el empleo de conservantes para frutas basados en soluciones calcicas y antioxidantes que comprenden ascorbato y calcio entre sus componentes, tal como se describe en los siguientes documentos:Another widely known solution is the use of preservatives that, in combination with low temperatures, help preserve these products. Thus, for example, the use of fruit preservatives based on calcium and antioxidant solutions comprising ascorbate and calcium between its components is known, as described in the following documents:

ES2011757 y GB2100575.ES2011757 and GB2100575.

Es bien conocido que estos conservantes antioxidantes basados en sales calcicas permiten evitar el pardeamiento enzimatico, alargando el tiempo de conservation de la fruta. Sin embargo, no previenen otros problemas, como por ejemplo la deshidratacion superficial que sufren las frutas y hortalizas a traves del tiempo.It is well known that these antioxidant preservatives based on calcium salts allow to avoid enzymatic browning, extending the shelf life of the fruit. However, they do not prevent other problems, such as the superficial dehydration suffered by fruits and vegetables over time.

Por esta razon, en los ultimos anos esta proliferando el empleo de recubrimientos comestibles, especialmente de base polisacarida, los cuales forman una pellcula transparente en la superficie de la fruta, permitiendo, por un lado, evitar la deshidratacion superficial del producto, y, por otro lado, servir de transporte de ingredientes activos, tales como antioxidantes y antimicrobianos, permitiendo asl alargar la vida util de las frutas cortadas.For this reason, in recent years the use of edible coatings, especially of polysaccharide base, which forms a transparent film on the surface of the fruit, proliferating, allowing, on the one hand, to avoid surface dehydration of the product, and, on the other hand, is proliferating. on the other hand, serve as a transport of active ingredients, such as antioxidants and antimicrobials, thus allowing the useful life of cut fruits to be extended.

Estos recubrimientos comestibles de base polisacarida pueden estar formados por cualquier pollmero capaz de gelificar y formar un recubrimiento, siendo los mas utilizados dentro de este grupo la maltodextrina, metilcelulosa, carboximetilcelulosa e hidroximetilcelulosa, almidones, carragenanos, pectina, alginato y gelano. Estos pollmeros se comercializan en forma de polvo y suelen diluirse en agua para obtener una solution acuosa con la que se recubre la fruta.These edible polysaccharide-based coatings can be formed by any polymer capable of gelling and forming a coating, the most commonly used within this group being maltodextrin, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxymethylcellulose, starches, carrageenans, pectin, alginate and gelane. These polymers are sold in powder form and are usually diluted in water to obtain an aqueous solution with which the fruit is coated.

El acido cltrico se incorpora como agente antioxidante, ademas constituye un agente quelante de iones metalicos. Es sabido que los quelantes coordinan y secuestran dichos iones, evitando que queden libres para otros procesos, pudiendo actuar de manera indirecta como agentes antimicrobianos.The citric acid is incorporated as an antioxidant agent, it also constitutes a metal ion chelating agent. It is known that chelators coordinate and sequester such ions, preventing them from being free for other processes, being able to act indirectly as antimicrobial agents.

El alumbre se utiliza para mejorar el aspecto de la fruta, ya que le otorga mejor presencia y evita la secretion en casos de cortes de la fruta, de tal manera que actua como sellante de los vasos conductores.Alum is used to improve the appearance of the fruit, as it gives it a better presence and prevents secretion in cases of fruit cuts, in such a way that it acts as a sealant for the conductive vessels.

El chitosan o quitosano es conocido en este campo por tener una buena actividad antibacteriana, puede inhibir algunos hongos, bacterias, y el crecimiento y reproduccion de los virus.Chitosan or chitosan is known in this field for having a good antibacterial activity, it can inhibit some fungi, bacteria, and the growth and reproduction of viruses.

Ademas en relacion a las frutas y hortalizas frescas, el chitosan no modifica la calidad del producto en cuanto al sabor, valor nutritivo, aportando al recubrimiento permeabilidad y resistencia al agua. Permite la creacion de un entrono de micro-atmosfera, donde se inhibe el metabolismo respiratorio por aumento de dioxido de carbono y disminucion del oxlgeno, como consecuencia de esto se ralentiza el envejecimiento de las frutas y hortalizas y por lo tanto se extiende la vida de esos productos despues de la cosecha.Also in relation to fresh fruits and vegetables, chitosan does not modify the quality of the product in terms of taste, nutritional value, contributing to the coating permeability and water resistance. It allows the creation of a micro-atmosphere environment, where respiratory metabolism is inhibited by an increase in carbon dioxide and a decrease in oxygen, as a consequence of this, the aging of fruits and vegetables is slowed down and therefore the life of those products after harvest.

El estado de la tecnica muestra una gran diversidad de documentos donde se describen composiciones que comprenden los compuestos antes mencionados por separado o combinados en mezclas binarias o ternarias.The state of the art shows a great diversity of documents describing compositions comprising the aforementioned compounds separately or combined in binary or ternary mixtures.
