Effects and conditions of
stable chlorine dioxide combined with heat treatment were explored to prolong
the storage time of Chestnut. With preservation rate as index, a response
surface methodology was used to investigate the effects ofChlorine Dioxide mass
concentration, heat treatment temperature and time on the preservation rate to
optimize the storage conditions.The results showed that synergy effects existed
between Chlorine Dioxide mass concentration and treatment temperature and
between Chlorine Dioxide mass concentration and treatment time. The best storage
conditions wereChlorine Dioxide mass concentration 167 mg/L ,treatment temperature
57 ℃ , treatment time 22 min. Under the conditions,after storage at temperatures of 5-15 ℃ for 60 days,
the preservation rate of Chestnut was up to 93.61%。
