In order to develop an anti-dew and bacteriostatic fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping agent, the modified polyacrylic acid (PAA) absorbent resin was prepared by aqueous solution polymerization using 2-acrylamide-2- methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS)containing strong hydrophilic groups as modifier. The results showed that when the acrylic acid was 23%, and the AMPS, crosslinker and initiator were 13%, 0.05% and 0.7% of AA mass, respectively, the absorbent ratio of the modified PAA resin in deionized water reached 3247g/g. It can be seen that the AMPS modification can improve the water absorption capacity of PAA resin. A fruit preservative with water absorption and antibacterial function was prepared by combining Coptis coptis extract with water absorbent resin. The experimental results showed that the preservative could reduce the amount of condensation, improve the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, and reduce the rate of fruit loss. The results can provide a reference for the research of fruit preservative and a new idea for the expansion and application of absorbent resin.
