Abstract

In this study, we applied modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to postharvest ‘Gampung’ persimmons to maintain their quality and extend their distribution period during domestic distribution and export, aiming to develop better postharvest management techniques. The experiment included four groups: a no treatment group (Control) and treatment groups entitled MAP, 1-MCP, and 1-MCP + MAP. Simulated distribution conditions were based on the persimmon export process to Vietnam and consisted of nine days at 0°C (cold storage), two hours at 30°C, and 15 days at 20°C (room temperature storage), for a total of 24 days. Quality changes were evaluated after cold storage (before and after transport) and at three day intervals during room temperature storage. As a result, two MAP treatments (MAP and 1-MCP + MAP) showed prominent effects in reducing weight loss, with the 1-MCP + MAP treatment demonstrating the most significant effect. During the storage period, the expression levels of ethylene biosynthesis genes and genes related to cell wall modification were effectively suppressed in both 1-MCP-treated groups (1-MCP and 1-MCP + MAP). Notably, the 1-MCP + MAP treatment exhibited excellent ethylene production and fruit-softening inhibition effects. Overall, the 1-MCP + MAP treatment effectively suppressed weight loss and maintained fruit quality during the simulated export distribution process.

본 연구는 수확 후 단감 ‘감풍’에 Modified Atmosphere Packaging(MAP)과 1-Methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)을 적용하여 국내 유통 및 수출 과정에서 품질 유지와 유통 기간 연장을 위한 수확 후 관리 기술을 개발하고자 수행되었다. 처리구는 무처리, MAP, 1-MCP, 1-MCP + MAP의 네 가지로 설정하였으며, 모의 유통 조건은 베트남으로의 단감 유통 과정을 참고하여 총 24일로 0°C에서 9일(저온저장), 30°C에서 2시간, 20°C에서 15일(상온저장)로 설정하였다. 저온저장 전후 각각 1회, 상온저장 3일 간격으로 과실 품질 변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과 MAP를 처리한 두 처리구(MAP, 1-MCP + MAP)에서 감모 억제 효과가 두드러졌으며, 특히 1-MCP + MAP 처리구에서 가장 우수한 감모 억제 효과가 나타났다. 저장 동안 에틸렌 생합성 유전자와 세포벽 분해 유전자의 발현은 1-MCP를 처리한 두 처리구(1-MCP, 1-MCP + MAP)에서 효과적으로 억제하였다. 특히 1-MCP + MAP 처리구에서 가장 우수한 에틸렌 생성 및 과실 연화 억제 효과가 나타났다. 종합적으로 1-MCP + MAP 처리구가 모의 유통과정에서 뛰어난 감모 억제 및 품질 유지 효과를 보였다.
