Abstract

Optimal storage conditions were investigated for 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits and cucumbers were stored under conditions of 70% relative humidity(RH) at 25$^{\circ}C$, 80% RH at l0$^{\circ}C$ and 90% at 5$^{\circ}C$ or l0$^{\circ}C$ of relative humidity, respectively and their qualities in microbial counts, decay ratio, surface color difference and chemical attributes were monitored during the storage period. 'Fuyu'persimmon fruits and cucumbers stored under 90% of relative humidity showed the minimal change in weight loss, decrease of ascorbic acid content, surface color difference and decay by putrefactive microorganisms. As the results of this experiment, 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits and cucumberf stored under 9% of relative humidity were best fer maintaining their freshness.

저장실험용 과채류인 오이와 단감을 서부 경남 진주시 지역의 재배농가에서 저장실험 시작당일 직접 구입하여 사용하였다. 구입즉시, 과채류를 습도가 70%(저장온도 $25^{\circ}C$), 80%(저장온도 1$0^{\circ}C$) 및 90%(저장온도: 단감 5$^{\circ}C$, 오이 1$0^{\circ}C$)의 저장조건에 보관하면서 처리기간별로 채취하여 품질변화를 측정하였다. 실험결과, 5$^{\circ}C$ 또는 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 습도 90%조건하에 오이와 단감을 저장할 경우, 중량손실율이 최소가 되었으며, ascorbic acid의 감소율을 크게 줄일 수 있었고, 오염 미생물의 생육이 억제되어 과일의 변패현상을 방지할 수 있었으며, 저장중 표면색도의 변화를 최소화할 수 있어 소비자의 기호도를 만족시킬 수 있었다. 부패율 또한, 저온에서 90% 저장습도에 저장하였을 때, 변패 곰팡이의 오염도 및 오이와 단감의 조직연화현상이 크게 억제되었다. 이상의 연구결과를 토대로 하여 볼 때, 오이와 단감을 저장할 때, 모든 처리시험구에서 저장습도 90%를 유지하는 조건에서 저온 저장하는 경우, 선도유지기간을 최대한 연장할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
