Abstract

As a film-forming substrate,chitosan was blended with microbiostatic materials such as sodium dehydroacetate,natamycin,sodium benzoate and calcium lactate,and the fresh-keeping effects of different chitosan coating compounds on strawberry during storage were studied.The results showed that all the compounds could reduce the weight loss and respiratory intensity of the strawberry to a certain extent,retard the decline of the fruit's vitamin C,organic acids and soluble solids,and inhibit the rot occurrence.It was found that the compound liquid of chitosan and natamycin had the best fresh-keeping effect on the strawberry,and the rot index,total acids and vitamin C of the strawberry on the 5th day after picking were respectively 6.5%,122.8% and 177.9% as much as those of the control under normal air temperature.
