Abstract

Garlic was stored at 4, 8, and $12^{\circ}C$ to investigate the development of green discoloration. Green discoloration developed after 7 day of storage ar $4^{\circ}C$, while it developed after 15 day of storage at 8 and $12^{\circ}C$. The effect of maleic hydrazide fertilization on green discoloration of garlic was not observed. Green discoloration of garlic was accelerated by gamma-radiation treatment. The addition of cysteine did not prevent green discoloration, which decreased the commercial value of the garlic due to the presence of white specks on the surface. When 3% ascorbic acid was added to the garlic, green discoloration developed in 6 and 24 hr at room temperature and $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. The tendency of garlic to discolor was also investigated at various storage temperatures. Discolored garlic stored for 30 day at low temperatures was conditioned at $20{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ for 20 day. The green discoloration of garlic conditioned at 20 and $25^{\circ}C$ did not disappear in 20 day, but disappeared in 20 day when conditioned at $30^{\circ}C$. The L, a, and b values of garlic conditioned at 35, 40, and $45^{\circ}C$ for 4 day were similar to those of normal garlic. Conclusively, our results indicated that the best method for suppressing green discoloration was conditioning discolored garlic at $35^{\circ}C$ for 4 day.

마늘의 녹변 유도기간과 저온저장 마늘의 녹변억제 방법을 살펴 보기위하여 수확된 마늘을 4, 8, $12^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 녹변생성 시점을 조사한 결과 $4^{\circ}C$에서는 7일만에 녹변이 발현되었고, 8 및 $12^{\circ}C$에서 저장할 때는 약 15일후에 녹변이 발생하였다. 감마선을 조사한 마늘은 대조구에 비해 녹변이 촉진되었으며, 생장포절제인 maleic hydrazide는 마늘 녹변발생과는 무관하였다. 녹변방지를 위해 마늘에 cysteine을 첨가한 결과 녹변현상과 흰반점이 발생하여 상품으로서 부적합하였다. 마늘에 3% ascorbic acid를 첨가하여 녹변 생성을 경시적으로 관찰한 결과 대조구는 약 30분만 실온에서 녹변이 발현된데 비하여 ascorbic acid 첨가구는 6시간이 지난 후 발현되었으나 저온에 저장하였을 때는 24시간 안정하였다. 한편, 수확한 마늘을 일정기간 저온저장시 생리적 냉해(chilling injury)현상으로 정상적인 대사가 억제되어 녹변현상이 발생한다는 가설하에 온도조절에 의한 녹변억제 경향을 조사하였다. 30일 동안 저온 저장한 마늘을 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, $45^{\circ}C$에서 관찰한 결과, 대조구, 20, $25^{\circ}C$에서 온도조절한 마늘은 20일이 경과한 후에도 지속적으로 녹변이 유지되었고, $30^{\circ}C$에서 온도조절한 마늘은 20일이 되어서야 녹변이 억제되었다. 또한 35, 40, $45^{\circ}C$에서 온도조절한 마늘은 4일이 경과되었을 때 비녹변 마늘과 비슷한 L, a, b값을 나타내고 있었으며 육안으로도 녹변현상이 억제되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 실험결과로부터 물리적인 방법에 의한 녹변억제는 $35^{\circ}C$에서 4일간 온도조절하였을 때 가장 양호하였다.
