Abstract

The work aims to prepare chitosan grafted ε-polylysine (CSPL) copolymer by grafting modification of chitosan using the Schiff base reaction to investigate its application in banana preservation. In the experiment, the structure of CSPL was characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectroscopy and antimicrobial analysis, and bananas were treated with film coating to analyse the changes in indexes such as colour, hardness, decay rate, weight loss rate, soluble solids content and vitamin C content during the storage period, and also compared with the groups of deionised water (CK), miconazole and chitosan. The results showed that the CSPL coating treatment could effectively delay the darkening of banana skin colour, reduce the rate of decline in flesh firmness, decrease the decay rate, slow down the increase in weight loss rate, and maintain the soluble solids and vitamin C contents. Among them, the treatment effect of CSPL coating solution with a mass fraction of 0.25% was significantly better than that of other groups, reducing the decay rate by 16.67% at 22 days compared with the CK group, keeping the Vc at (33.88±0.44) mg/100 g, and maintaining the colour at around 90^o after turning yellow, with better appearance quality. This study confirms that chitosan grafted ε-polylysine coating can effectively improve the freshness quality of bananas and prolong their shelf-life, which has a broad application development prospect.
