Hello everyone
Today we are going to talk about how ginger extract preserves the freshness of fresh-cut apples.
In Life, I believe everyone has this experience. Your cut apples will turn black after a while. This is because the total number of bacteria in fresh-cut apples shows an increasing trend as time goes by; and the water content is also lost. . After apples are freshly cut, the regionalized structure of enzymes and substrates is broken, physiological activities are intensified, and polyphenol oxidase activity increases, leading to browning.
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is an enzyme widely present in apples and other fruits. After the fruit is damaged, the enzyme is activated and participates in the browning and decay process of the fruit.
Ginger extract is derived from the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale and has been used medicinally in Chinese, Indian and Arabic herbal traditions since ancient times. In China, for example, ginger has been used to aid digestion and treat upset stomach, diarrhea, and nausea for more than 2,000 years. Since ancient times, ginger has also been used to assist in the treatment of arthritis, hernias, diarrhea and heart disease. Ginger grows in fertile, moist tropical soil; it has been used as a cooking seasoning in its native Asia for at least 4,400 years. The phenolic substances in ginger not only have a strong oxidizing effect, but also have a good bactericidal effect. Ginger extract has a strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium, Escherichia coli, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Through experiments, biologists found that the total number of bacteria in fresh-cut apples treated with ginger extract was significantly lower than that in control samples. Ginger extract can significantly delay the release of ethylene, reduce the quality loss rate of fresh-cut apples, inhibit the activity of polyphenol oxidase, and reduce the infection of fresh-cut apples by microorganisms. Studies have proven that adding 0.1G/ML ginger extract can keep fresh-cut apples fresh. Best results.
Do you usually like to grow flowers? Ginger extract also has an effect on the preservation of fresh-cut carnation flowers. It can effectively delay the vase life of cut flowers and has an obvious preservation effect.
