Abstract:

In order to identify the lipidic bacteriostatic substances of Bacillus atrophicus SHZ-24,silica gel column chromatography and liquid-liquid mass spectrometry(LC-MS)were used to identify the lipidic bacteriostatic substances of strain SHZ-24 based on the previous experiments;at the same time,the lipidic bacteriostatic substances extracted from the bacterium were applied on thick-skinned melons cultivar‘Xizhoumi 25’to determine the effects of the lipidic bacteriostatic substances on the flavor quality of thick-skinned melons during the storage period and on the enzymatic activities of ethanol dehydrogenase(ADH)and lipoxygenase(LOX)during the storage period to investigate the effects of the lipid antibacterial substances on the flavor quality of thick-skinned melons during the storage period. The results showed that the lipid extract of Bacillus atrophicus SHZ-24 had obvious inhibitory effect on the melon rot pathogen CH-3(Fusarium oxysporum),with the inhibitory activity of 66.54%,and the hydroxy fatty acids were the main inhibitory substances in strain SHZ-24. The lipid inhibitory substances of strain SHZ-24 were applied to thick-skinned melons,and the volatile flavor substances increased from 25 to 35 kinds of volatile flavor substances and the types of ester substances were increased,among which the relative contents of ethyl acetate,caprolipids,2-methylbutyl acetate and other major flavor substances were obviously increased compared with those in thick-skinned melons after 25 days of storage after the treatment of pathogenic bacteria,and the types and relative contents of alcohols,aldehydes and hydrocarbons were reduced compared with those in thick-skinned melons after 25 days of storage after the treatment of pathogenic bacteria. The relative content of alcohols,aldehydes and hydrocarbons decreased. The key enzymes of ester metabolism of thick-skinned melon were measured and found that compared with the thick-skinned melon infected by pathogenic bacteria,the ethanol dehydrogenase of thick-skinned melon treated with lipid inhibitory substances of the bacterium increased 4.53 times,and the activity of lipoxygenase was increased by 1.18 times,which indicated that the lipid extracts of the bacterium could inhibit the infection of thick-skinned melons by pathogenic bacteria and at the same time regulate the key enzymes of lipid metabolism to delay the decay of thick-skinned melons and the maintenance of melon aroma. The maintenance of melon aroma was also promoted. The bacterial inhibitory substance of strain SHZ-24 showed a good biological control effect during storage of thick-skinned melons,which can be applied to the storage and preservation of melons.
