JPH08132408A - Method for preventing fading and regenerating chloroplast in vegetable body - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To contrive to prevent fading and to regenerate chloroplast already lost by a method wherein vegetable body is treated by blended solution prepared with copper sulfate-aluminum sulfate-semicarbazide hydrochloride. CONSTITUTION: Vegetable body is immersed in blended solution and, after that, boiled so as to easily attain the object in order to contrive to effectively utilize vegetable resources, which have not been utilized formerly.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

 [Industrial applications]

[0001] Many plants are underutilized because they are effective resources but are easily faded or discolored.
Bamboo is a typical example. Bamboo has many characteristics such as elasticity and sound absorption, and therefore the present invention particularly enhances its utility value as a building material.

In addition, natural autumn leaves and bamboo grass for interior decoration,
It is possible to make other branches, and the range of use is wide in line with the age of genuineness.

Furthermore, it is significant from the viewpoint of resource protection that it is possible to make a plant specimen that retains its natural color for a long period of time and to reproduce the color of a plant that has already faded or discolored. [Conventional technology]

In the case of bamboo, a product will be produced because the color of the bamboo will change without delay after a short time.

Autumn leaves are made of vinyl and cloth,
Alternatively, the plant may be colored. Furthermore, there is no technology for reproducing colors such as bamboo that have already faded or discolored.

Imitations of plants that are commercially available for decoration have many drawbacks such that leaves and branches are dyed in the same color. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

Chlorophyll is an unstable substance by nature, and is therefore easily discolored or faded. Therefore, after artificially degrading chlorophyll, copper ions are added to the chlorophyll and nitrogen remaining in the plant body. This is to combine them to make stable chlorophyll. [Means for Solving the Problems]

0.5% of copper sulfate, 0.2% of aluminum sulfate and 0.2% of semicarbazide hydrochloride based on 100 of tap water
%, Blemmer 15.0%, glycerin 5.0%, and a surfactant 0.3% solution, and the plant is soaked for 1 to 3 days.

Next, the liquid used for immersion is put in a stainless steel container and heated to 90 ° C. or higher by a gas stove, and the plant is put therein.

Usually, the green color of the plant body becomes brown during the immersion in the above liquid, but since it returns to the original green color by boiling, heating is continued until then.

The boiled plant is placed in cold water, cooled for 20 minutes, and then dried at room temperature.

[0012] In the case of a plant body that has already faded or discolored, it is immersed in the above liquid for several days, and when permeation of the liquid into the plant body is observed, it is boiled as described above. 〔Example〕

In November 1991, the lily of the valley that turned brown
As a result of boiling the Chinese cabbage leaves with the above liquid, all of them returned to the original green color, and after exposed to sunlight for about 100 days, no discoloration occurred.

All the leaves such as lily of the valley, black lily, Chinese cabbage, and horse chestnut that were collected in the summer of 1992 and intended to be naturally dried turned brown, but as a result of boiling in the above liquid in February 1993, it returned to the original green color. , And did not discolor after that.

[0015] In October 1994, discolored bamboo shoots and Moso bamboo that had been discolored for several years and were soaked in the above liquid (3-4).
After that, the solution was boiled and the green color could be recovered. 〔The invention's effect〕

The fact that the plant is green has great significance not only in plant physiology but also in human society. If it does not fade or discolor for a long time, it is not necessary to make imitations of plants with paper, cloth, vinyl, etc.

Particularly in the case of bamboo materials, it is extremely significant in terms of resource utilization since it can increase the commercial value and expand the range of use by preventing discoloration and discoloration.

Further, the effect of the invention, in which the green color of a plant body that has once faded or discolored can be reproduced by a simple method, is enormous.
