Abstract
The water content, respiration rate, solid, and starch contents in the potate tuber of May Queen and Namjak stored at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ were determined during 27 week period. Changes in appearance of the surface and internal tissue also were observed. The dormancy period of May Queen stored at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ was 12 seeks, but Namjak at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ were 9 weeks and 21 weeks, respectively. Greening developed from 12 weeks in the tuber of May Queen at $5^{\circ}C$ and browning of Namjak stored at $5^{\circ}C$ was observed from 6 weeks. In both potatoes stored at $20^{\circ}C$, the rates of respiration were higher than those stored at $5^{\circ}C$, and the rates increased continuously after sprouting at $20^{\circ}C$ but maintained at the low level at $5^{\circ}C$. Solid and starch contents of Namjak were always higher than those of May Queen during 27 weeks, but the levels did not change significantly with time. Solid and starch contents at $20^{\circ}C$ maintained at higher level than at $5^{\circ}C$.
May Queen, Namjak 두 품종을 수확후 즉시 polyethelene 주머니에 넣어 $5^{\circ}C$ 및 $20^{\circ}C$에서 27주간 저장하면서 감자의 외관, 수분함량, 호흡율, 고형물 및 전분의 변화를 조사한 결과 마음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. May Queen은 $5^{\circ}C$ 및 $20^{\circ}C$ 공히저장 12주부터 발아가 되었고 Namjak은 $5^{\circ}C$에서 21주 $20^{\circ}C$에서 주째에 발아가 시작되었다. 2. May Queen은 $5^{\circ}C$ 저장에서 12주부터 녹화가 되었고 Namjak는 $5^{\circ}C$에서 6주부터 갈변현상이 있었으나 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 갈변이 없었다. 3. May Queen 및 Namjak 모두 $20^{\circ}C$ 처리에서 호흡율(呼吸率)이 높고 발아후(發芽后) 계속 증가 하였으나 $5^{\circ}C$에서는 호흡율의 변화가 없었다. 4. 고형물은 27주간 경시적으로 큰 변화가 없었으며 남작이 May Queen보다 높았고 온도별로는 May Queen보다 높았고 온도별로는 May Queen이 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $5^{\circ}C$보다 그함량이 높았으나 Namjak은 온도별로 큰차이가 없었다. 5. 전분은 고형물의 변화와 비슷하였으나 온도별로는 May Queen, Namjak 공히 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $5^{\circ}C$보다 전분함량이 높아 $5^{\circ}C$에서 유리당으로의 변화가 많었음이 추정된다.
