Abstract:
In order to maintain the quality and prolong the shelf life of
Osmunda cinnamomea L. var.
asiatica Fernald.On the basis of the single factor experiment, the effects of three natural preservatives tea polyphenols, nobiletin and chitosan on sensory quality, chlorophyll content and V
C contents were investigated by L
9 (3
4) orthogonal experiment. Results showed that the compound preservative formulations were:Tea polyphenols 0.8 g/L, nobiletin 2.5 g/L, chitosan 2 g/L. Compared with those without preservative, the formula could improve the sensory quality, maintain the contents of chlorophyll, V
C and soluble sugar, and inhibit the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD). The storage time was 5~7 d longer than that without preservative at 4℃.
