Three agent samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis to investigate the crystal structure, which confirmed a synergistic antibacterial effect. The antibacterial and preservative effects of silver-doped titanium dioxide coating film on Nanfeng citrus were investigated preliminarily. Nutritional indicators of ripe Nanfeng citrus before and after preservation were detected to investigate the preservative properties of silver-doped titanium dioxide coating film and compare the effects of different components of composite coating film. The results showed that Ag＋/TiO2 composite coating film exhibited high antibacterial and preservative effects on Nanfeng citrus under visible light illumination condition.展开更多
