Abstract

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) needs proper post-harvest treatment to prolong its storage life. This study investigated the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the quality and storage life of asparagus. Fresh-harvested asparagus was treated with 1-MCP (1 mg･L-1), CEPA (10 mg･L-1), and 1-MCP (1 mg･L-1) + CEPA (10 mg･L-1) and compared with an untreated control. The carbon dioxide (co2) production, ethylene production, and morphological characteristics of the preserved asparagus were observed. The flow-system and the static-type measurement methods for ethylene and co2 production (respiration rate) were used. Weight loss, respiration rate, degree of freshness, and ethylene production were monitored during storage at 7°C. The results further showed that CEPA (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) treatment had greater effects on co2 and ethylene production than using the 1-MCP process. The asparagus treated with CEPA or 1-MCP + CEPA had significantly increased the ethylene production rate compared to the control or using only 1-MCP during storage. There were no evident changes in the respiration rate of asparagus under 1-MCP treatment as compared with the control. Using the flow-system, slight differences in the rates of co2 and ethylene production were noted as compared to using the static type. Findings showed that in using the flow-system, asparagus manifested clearer results as compared with the static type. Weight loss in asparagus was significantly lower in control and 1-MCP treated samples than in those treated with CEPA. Likewise, the co2 and ethylene production of the CEPA treated samples significantly increased. The 1-MCP treatment reduced the effects of CEPA on weight loss, soluble solids content, and osmolality. The effect was not observed with exogenous ethylene as CEPA treatment had no visible effect as compared to the untreated group. Thus, 1-MCP treatment of asparagus could slightly reduce damage to the quality of asparagus during its distribution where ethylene gas is produced. Therefore, this study suggests that 1-MCP treatment can reduce the damage induced by ethylene gas on asparagus in poor distribution environments.

아스파라거스는 수확 후 품질변화가 심하여, 보존 전에 1-MCP 등의 전처리를 통하여 상품성 유지효과를 검정하고자 하였다. 아스파라거스를 1-MCP 및 CEPA 처리 후 7°C에 저장하면서 에틸렌과 co2 발생 등을 관찰하였다. 또한 저장 전 처리에 따라 발생되는 에틸렌 및 co2 발생량을 측정방법에 따라 연속적인 방법과 비연속적인 방법으로 측정하였다. 아스파라거스 유통 중 불량환경을 가정한 CEPA 처리에 의해 에틸렌 가스 발생 및 호흡 특성이 달라지는데 1-MCP와의 혼용처리로 에틸렌의 영향을 상쇄시키는 것으로 나타났다. CEPA 처리는 에틸렌 및 co2 가스 발생이 증가하며, 1-MCP 혼용처리로 인해 발생량이 감소하였고 1-MCP 단용처리는 무처리에 비해 에틸렌 발생에 큰 차이가 없었으나, co2 발생량을 다소 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. co2 발생에서 연속측정(flow-system)이 비연속적 측정보다 변화 경향이나 처리간의 차이가 명확히 나타났다. 형태적이나 생체중량, 가용성고형물, 삼투몰 농도에 있어서 1-MCP는 CEPA에 의한 영향을 경감시키는 효과는 있었으나, CEPA 처리와 같이 외생적인 에틸렌과 조우하지 않는다면 무처리에 비해서는 큰 효과를 보이지 못하였다. 아스파라거스에서 1-MCP 처리는 불량 환경조건에서 발생되는 외생 에틸렌의 영향을 상쇄시킬 수 있을 것으로 보였으며, 전처리를 통한 상품성 유지가 기대된다.
