Abstract

The work aims to research and develop the coated carton with clove essential oil as the bacteriostatic agent, and study the influence of different concentrations of clove essential oil on the fresh-keeping effect on juicy peaches. The coated carton was prepared by applying different concentrations of clove essential oil and polyving akohol on corrugated board. The antimicrobial effect of antibacterial cardboard on botrytis cinerea, alternaria alternata and aspergillus niger was tested. With juicy peaches as the study object, the influence of different concentrations of clove essential oil on the fresh-keeping effect of juicy peaches was studied. The antimicrobial rate of antibacterial cardboard was improved with the increase in the concentration of clove essential oil. The carton coated with clove essential oil could obviously reduce the decay rate of juicy peaches and maintained the sensory quality of juicy peaches. After storage for 13 days, the juicy peaches stored in carton coated with 0.6% clove essential oil presented the best quality, its sensory quality score was 6.2, and its decay rate was only 26%. It is concluded that molds such as botrytis cinerea, alternaria alternata and aspergillus niger can be inhibited by carton coated with clove essential oil, which can reduce the decay of juicy peach and extend its shelf life for 4~5 days.
