Abstract

This study treated winter jujube with cold plasma at different times (0, 5, 10 min).The microbial quantity and quality-related indexes of winter jujube after treatment were measured, and the changes in flavor substances were measured by headspace gas chromatography ion migration spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS).The effects of cold plasma treatment on the storage quality and flavor of winter jujube were investigated.Results showed that compared with the CK group, cold plasma treatment significantly inhibited the total number of colonies, molds, and yeasts on the surface of winter jujube, after 70 days, the total number of colonies in the 10 min treatment group and the 5 min treatment group was 0.6 lg CFU/g and 0.39 lg CFU/g lower than that in the CK group, respectively.It was 0.42 lg CFU/g and 0.28 lg CFU/g lower than the total number of mold and yeast in group CK, respectively.Cold plasma treatment could slow down the increase in respiratory intensity and the decrease of soluble sugar content, titratable acid content, and vitamin C content of winter jujubes.The firmness of winter jujube in the 5 min treatment group was the most significant, and the firmness of winter jujube in the 5 min treatment group was 47% higher than that in the CK group on the 70 days.The content of original pectin and soluble pectin in the 5 min treatment group was 43% higher than that in the CK group, the content of soluble pectin was 55% lower than that in the CK group, and the contents of cellulose and hemicellulose were 14% and 74% higher, respectively.HS-GC-IMS analysis showed that the contents of 2, 3-butanedione, benzene acetaltalone, limonene, and hexanoic acid in 5 min treatment group were higher than those in the CK group and 10 min treatment group.However, the contents of 2, 3-butanedione, and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine in the treatment group were lower than those in the CK group. The comprehensive analysis showed that cold plasma treatment had a positive effect on inhibiting the quality deterioration and flavor substance change of winter jujube after harvest.
