Abstract

A transpiration model was selected and tested experimentally to predict transpiration into of Fuji apple stored in a normal air and controlled atmospheres (l∼3% O$_2$+ l∼3% CO$_2$) at 0$\^{C}$ and 98% RH for 6weeks. CA storage decreased the respiration rate of Fuji apple by 50% when compared with normal air storage. The transpiration rates of apple showed 50∼70% higher in normal air storage than those in CA storage and were decreased by increasing CO$_2$concentration under same concentration of O$_2$. The transpiration rates estimated by the selected model were in good agreement with experimental data for Fuji apples under controlled atmosphere conditions and normal air. When the respiratory heat generation rate u of Fuji apple increased with storage conditions, the evaporating surface temperature and transpiration rate also increased. But since some portion of respiratory heat was used as latent heat in the evaporating surface, the change of u value had a little effect on the determination of the evaporation temperature and the transpiration rate.

CA저장 중 저장기체 조성에 따른 사과 Fuji의 증산속도를 측정하고, 같은 조건에서 증산속도를 예측하기 위한 수학적 모델을 설정하여 증산속도를 예측하였다. 온도 $0^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 98%, 공기 유속 0.25m/s의 저장조건에서 6주 동안 CA저장하였을 때 사과 Fuji의 호흡속도는 일반저온저장에 비하여 50%이하로 낮출 수 있었다. 같은 저장조건에서 일반저온저장에서의 사과의 증산속도가 CA저장에 비하여 50~70 % 높았으며, 일정한 산소농도의 CA저장에서는 저장기체 중 이산화탄소농도가 높을수록 증산속도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 채택한 모델로 예측한 증산속도는 실측치와 유사한 값을 나타내어 본 연구에서 채택한 모델로 CA 저장 중 저장기체 조성에 따른 사과 Fuji의 증산속도를 잘 예측할 수 있었다. 사과의 증산속도는 호흡열량에 비례하여 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나 증산속도의 증가폭은 호흡열량의 증가폭에 미치지 못하였다. 이는 호흡열량이 증가하면 사과의 증발표면의 온도가 높아져서 증산속도가 커질 수 있게 되지만, 증산속도의 증가에 따른 증발잠열의 증가가 증발표면의 온도를 미세하게 낮추어 주므로 일어나는 현상으로 볼 수 있다.
