Traditional Chinese medicine washing agent used for fruits and vegetables, and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine washing agent used for fruits and vegetables. The traditional Chinese medicine washing agent is prepared via mixing of 40.0 to 60.0 parts of a traditional Chinese medicine extract, 2.0 to 3.0 parts of an emulsifying solubilizer, 4.0 to 6.0 parts of a surfactant, 0.1 to 0.2 part of disodium EDTA, 1.0 to 2.0 parts of sodium chloride, 0.06 to 0.1 part of isothiazolinone,50 to 65 parts of purified water; wherein the traditional Chinese medicine extract is prepared by taking radix sophorae flavescentis, lonicera japonica, fructus forsythia, herba schizonepetae, scutellaria baicalensis, cordate houttuynia, flos chrysanthemi, and pericarpium citri reticulatae as raw bulk drugs. The traditional Chinese medicine washing agent possesses excellent inhibition and killing effects on a plurality of bacteria and pathogenic fungi, and excellent degreasing performance, insect repellent performance, and biological degradability; is capable of removing dirt and pesticide residues on fruit and vegetable surfaces, and accords with life concept of modern people on green and environmental-friendly life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of daily chemicals and relates to a detergent for fruits and vegetables, in particular to a detergent suitable for fruits and vegetables extracted and prepared from Chinese medicinal materials and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] During the growth process of vegetables and fruits, pesticides generally need to be sprayed to eliminate pests. Organophosphorus pesticides are the main types of widely used pesticides, accounting for about 70% of all pesticides. Organophosphorus pesticides are highly toxic organic substances whose macromolecular structure cannot be decomposed by chemical and inorganic substances in general detergents. Some pesticides will remain on the surface of vegetables and fruits, and they need to be washed thoroughly before eating. [0003] The traditional way of washing vegetables is generally soaking in clear water and soaking in alkaline water. Soaking in clear...

Problems solved by technology

However, the types of pesticides polluted by vegetables and fruits are mainly organophosphorus insecticides, which are difficult to dissolve in water. This method can only remove a very small amount of residual pesticides, which wastes water resources and is uneconomical. Soaking for a long time It will also cause the loss of water-soluble vitamins in fruits and vegetables; soaking in alkaline water can only remove part of the pesticide residues, some pesticides are very stable in an alkaline environment and are not easy to decompose, and some organophosphorus pesticides are more toxic under alkaline conditions

There is also a peeling method for fruits. The peeling method can effectively remove pesticides on the surface of melons and fruits, but it is not universal. Removing the peel will lose a lot of nutrients, and the removed peel will also cause further environmental pollution when it flows into the environment.

[0004] It can be seen that the traditional method of washing vegetables can only remove a very small amount of pesticide components remaining on the surface of fruits and vegetables, and has no antibacterial performance, and is easy to cause secondary pollution. Therefore, daily chemical detergents are gradually becoming an indispensable part of people in today's society. open necessities

At present, the vast majority of traditional detergents are synthesized from sodium dodecylsulfonate as the main raw material. When washing fruits and vegetables, only a small amount of pesticide components remaining on the surface of fruits and vegetables can be removed. Over time, it will cause harm to the human body. The washing and rinsing liquid is discharged into the sewer, which has poor biodegradability and will also cause a certain degree of pollution to the environment
