Abstract

To select appropriate packaging materials and packaging methods to maintain the quality of the sweet persimmon ‘Wonmi’ for export, the following four types of packaging were tested: 1) a control type (untreated), 2) modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) 5F-LDPE (conventional method, five-fruit packaging), 3) MAP 5F-MP LDPE (microperforated LDPE, OPP anti-fog film, 30 µm, OTR 80,000CC five-fruit packaging), and 4) MAP 1F-MP LDPE (microperforated LDPE, OPP anti-fog film, 30 µm, OTR 80,000CC single-fruit packaging). Fruits thus packaged were examined for 12 days at room temperature (20°C) at three-day intervals for fruit quality changes. The remaining packaged fruits were stored for two weeks in cold storage at 0°C and then moved to room temperature to examine changes in fruit quality at three-day intervals for 12 days. Regarding fruit quality changes after storage at room temperature and at a low temperature, the effect of suppressing weight loss and softening in the three MAP-treated fruits was confirmed compared to the control group. There were no significant differences between the packaging treatments in terms of the weight loss rate in either experiment. However, the MP LDPE treatment was the most effective at room temperature in terms of softening inhibition. The MAP treatment had a tremendous inhibitory effect in the experiment after low-temperature storage. In conventional MAP, off-flavoring occurred in fruits after low-temperature storage, and fruit decay occurred due to abnormal ripening, strongly suggesting that fruit quality is not maintained only by maintaining hardness. In addition, in both experiments, when packed in MAP 5F-LDPE, one unhealthy fruit caused the softening and rotting of fruits in each bundle. In addition, five-pack packaging requires considerable labor for re-sorting and re-packing after storage. Therefore, to maintain and manage fruit quality more efficiently and to ensure long-term high-quality levels, the packaging of one fruit via microperforated MAP is considered the most appropriate packaging method.

수출용 단감 ‘원미’ 품종의 연화억제 및 품질 유지를 위한 적절한 포장재와 포장방법을 선발하기 위하여 기존의 농가 관행 포장법과 선행 실험의 결과를 바탕으로 1) Control(무처리), 2) MAP 5F-Conventioanl(관행 LEPE 과실 5개 포장), 3) MAP 5F-80,000CC(미세천공 LDPE, OPP 방담필름, 30µm, OTR 80,000CC 과실 5개 포장), 4) MAP 1F-80,000CC(미세천공 LDPE, OPP 방담필름, 30µm, OTR 80,000CC 과실 1개 포장) 4가지 방법으로 포장 후 과실품질 변화를 조사하였다. 포장된 과실 일부는 상온(20°C)에서 3일 간격으로 12일간 과실 품질변화를 조사하였고 나머지 포장된 과실들은 0°C 저온저장고에서 2주간 저장한 후 상온(20°C)으로 옮겨 이후 3일 간격으로 12일 동안 과실의 품질변화를 조사하였다. 상온과 저온저장 후의 과실 품질변화는 포장을 하지 않은 무처리 과실보다 MAP 처리된 세가지 처리에서 감모와 연화 억제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 두 실험 모두 감모율에서는 포장 처리 간의 유의차가 크지 않았지만 연화 억제에서는 상온에서는 미세천공 MAP 5개 포장처리가 가장 효과적이었으며, 저온저장 후 실험은 관행 MAP 처리에서 효과가 컸다. 하지만 관행포장은 저온저장 후 과실에서 이취가 발생하였고, 비정상적 후숙으로 부패하는 과실이 발생하였기 때문에 경도 유지만으로 과실품질을 유지한다고 보기는 어려웠다. 또한 두 실험 모두 5개 묶음으로 포장할 경우 1개의 건전하지 못한 과실로 인해 묶음 단위로 과실이 연화, 부패하는 결과를 보여주었으며, 5개 묶음 포장은 저장 후 출하시 재선별과 재포장에 상당한 노동력이 필요하다. 따라서 보다 효율적이고 고품질로 장시간 과실 품질을 유지하고, 관리하기 위해서는 미세천공 MAP 1개 포장이 가장 적절한 포장방법으로 판단된다.
