Abstract

Ultrasonic-heat treatment of fresh-cut lotus roots was used to study the effect and possible mechanism of its color preservation and fresh-keeping, aiming to provide a method for fresh-cutting fresh-cut lotus roots. The experiment measured the physiological and biochemical indexes of fresh-cut lotus roots stored for 9 days through sensory and flavor component analysis, enzyme activity determination, scanning electron microscopy, and other methods, and distilled water treatment was used as a control. Results showed that the total color difference of fresh-cut lotus roots was 55.22% lower than the control (P<0.05) after being treated with 50 ℃ combined with ultrasound (300 W, 40 kHz) for 9 min and stored for 9 days. The loss of main flavors such as esters, aldehydes and ketones was less, which was 92.34% of the control. The weight loss rate and hardness decreased slowly. It could also reduce the activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase and increase the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. And the total phenol content, while the malondialdehyde content was reduced by 38.78% (P<0.05), thereby reducing the damage to the cells and increasing the antioxidant capacity and prolonging the shelf life. Scanning electron microscopy observed that ultrasound-heat treatment produced more microchannels between fresh-cut lotus root cells, which provided evidence for the possible mechanism of ultrasound-heat interaction. This study provides a gentle and efficient preservation method for fresh-cut lotus roots and has good application prospects.
