Abstract

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki. cv. Fuyu) fruits were packaged under different conditions, and then stored at $0^{\circ}C$ for 21 weeks. The tried packages were heat-sealed bag of one fruit, heat-sealed bag of five fruits, and tie-sealed bag of five fruits, which used films of three different thickness (0.03 ㎜, 0.05 ㎜ and 0.06 ㎜). Throughout the storage, package free volume, package atmosphere and quality were measured. Package free volume decreased with time with higher rate for heat-sealed bags, in which close contact between fruit and the film was eventually reached in longer storage. However, tie-sealed bags maintained the levels of stabilized free volume. The rate of free volume decrease was faster with thinner film and larger bag size for the packs sealed by the same method. Package atmosphere covered $O_2$ concentration of $1.1{\sim}17.1%$ and $CO_2$ concentration of $1.1{\sim}8.3%$, $O_2$ concentration decreased during storage, whereas $CO_2$ increased. Thinner film package created the internal atmosphere of higher $O_2$ and lower $CO_2$ concentrations. Tie-sealed bags of 5 fruits in the films of 0.05 mm and 0.06 mm thickness maintained the equilibrated package atmosphere of $1.1{\sim}3.0%\;O_2$ and $4.0{\sim}5.5%\;CO_2$, which preserved the fruits best in terms of firmness and less physiological changes of flesh browning and peel browning. At five fruit heat-sealed bag in the films of 0.06 mm thickness with $CO_2\;8.3%$, flesh browning occurred at a high rate, whereas all treatments in the film of 0.03 mm thickness with high $O_2$ and relatively low $CO_2$ contents, flesh and peel browning rates were high.

'부유' 단감의 MA포장 조건에 따라 $0^{\circ}C$ 저온저장 중 포장내 공기조성 및 과실의 품질 변화를 조사하였다. 처리내용은 포장방법을 1개 열접착, 5개 열접착, 5개 손결속으로 하고, 포장지 두께는 각각 0.03 ㎜, 0.05 ㎜, 0.06 ㎜로 하였다. 조사 결과, 저장 중 포장내 free-volume은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 열접착 처리구의 free-volume은 처리간 시기적 차이는 있었으나 저장 중 완전히 감소하였다. free-volume의 감소 속도는 포장단위가 크고, 포장지 두께가 얇을수록 빨랐다. 저장중 포장내 산소 농도는 $1.1{\sim}17.1%$, 이산화탄소 농도는 $1.1{\sim}8.3%$ 수준이었고, 저장기간 중 산소 농도는 감소하고, 이산화탄소는 증가하는 경향이었고 포장지가 얇을수록 산소 농도는 높고 이산화탄소 농도는 낮았다. 또한 저장중 이산화탄소 농도가 $4.0{\sim}8.3%$ 수준으로 높게 유지되고, 산소 농도가 $1.1{\sim}4.0%$로 낮게 안정상태로 유지된 0.05 ㎜, 0.06 ㎜ 5개 포장구에서 경도가 높게 유지되었으나, 저장 20주 후 이산화탄소 농도가 8.3%까지 높아진 0.06 ㎜ 5개 열접착 포장구에서 과육갈변과의 발생이 가장 많았다. 반면 산소 농도가 상대적으로 높고 이산화탄소 농도가 비교적 낮은 0.03 ㎜ 포장구와 1개 포장구는 과피흑변과의 발생이 많았다.
