Preparation of Moringa oleifera Seed Oil Antibacterial Film and Effection on the Preservation of Beef
In order to extend the shelf life of beef,improve its safety,nutrition,and quality,Moringa oleifera seed oil antibacterial film has been developed for the preservation of beef.Using chitosan as the film-forming material,glycerol as the plasticizer,and Moringa oleifera seed oil as the antibacterial agent,a Moringa oleifera seed oil antibacterial film was prepared,and the sensory score,pH,color,total bacterial count,and coliform group of beef were measured.The results showed that the antibacterial film of Moringa oleifera seed oil could delay the decline of beef sensory quality,inhibit the increase of beef pH and the decrease of color,and inhibit the increase of beef bacterial count and coliform group.Among them,6%Moringa oleifera seed oil antibacterial film had a good preservation effect on beef.This study provides a reference for the application of Moringa oleifera seed oil antibacterial film in the beef preservation.
