Abstract

In order to extend the shelf life of Pitaya at room temperature (25±1) ℃, we studied the preservation of fresh pitaya using the AP multi-functional integrated storage bags prepared with intelligent hydrogel antiseptic film and highly permeable silicon window film. We tested the top air composition of the storage bags, the firmness of pitaya, the total soluble solid content, the total acid and the vitamin C content to investigate the preservation effect of the AP multi-functional integrated preservative film on pitaya. The results showed that at room temperature, the shelf life of pitaya without package was six days, while its shelf life could be extended by 4 days when stored in the AP multi-functional integrated storage bags, and it could better keep the overall quality of pitaya. AP could effectively reduce the decrease of hardness and the water loss, at the same time, the total soluble solid content, total acid of AP were higher than the control group.
