Effect of Different Packaging Materials on Stability of Cinnamomi Cortex Decoction Pieces with Integration of Local Processing and Processing
Abstract:Objective:To investigate the quality influnce of different packaging materials on quality stability of integrated processing and processing Cinnamomi Cortex slices. Methods:Four different packaging materials were used to package the integrative slices of Cinnamomi Cortex,which were processed and processed from the origin of Cinnamomi Cortex. The accelerated tests and the influence factors tests of high temperature,high humidity and strong light irradiation were carried out respectively. The contents of cinnamaldehyde,cinnamic acid,volatile oil and water extract were taken as the inspection indexes to investigate the effects of different packaging materials on the stability of cinnamon production area processing and processing integration. Results:Compared with kraft paper,polyethylene plastic and transparent glossy vacuum bag,self-sealing bag with aluminium foil had higher heat resistance and barrier,which could reduce the loss of active ingredients of cinnamon to the greatest extent. Conclusion:High temperature and strong light should be avoided and moisture-proof should be paid attention to during the storage of Cinnamon Decoction pieces. The quality stability of Cinnamon Decoction pieces can be guaranteed by using self-sealing aluminum foil bags as packaging materials. This study can provide a basis for the preservation conditions and validity period of Cinnamomum Cinnamomi decoction which is integrated with processing and processing in the origin.
