Abstract

Model for optimally dimensioned PE film bag was developed according to fruit size to maintain best quality of 'Fuyu' persimmon in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) storage based on relationship between quality and oxygen and carbon dioxide in PE film bag. Harvested persimmons were graded into five sizes, and average weights were LL:261, L:217, M:188, S:168, and SS:154 g. Five fruit units of each grade were optimized in five PE film bag sizes of $150{\times}376,\;140{\times}357,\;130{\times}344,\;130{\times}333,\;and\;120{\times}3l8\;mm$. To minimize quality deterioration such as softening and discoloration, optimal oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in PE film bag were 0.5-1.0 and 6.0-8.0%, respectively, and optimal thickness of PE film bag according to fruit size were LL:45, L:50, M:55, S:60, and $SS:65\;{\mu}m$. For all fruit sizes, model for PE film bag area $(mm^2)$ was good quadratic simple equation by fruit weight (g): $Y=-4055.707+627.993X_1-0.701{X_1}^2$. Model far optimal oxygen and carbon dioxide (Y) concentration in PE film bag was suited to linear multiple equation by fruit weight $(X_1,\;g)$ and PE film thickness $(X_2,\;{\mu}m)$. Equations for oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations (%) were $Y=5.798-0.0109X_l-0.0491X_2\;and\;Y=-2.427+0.01927X_l +0.09646X_2$, respectively.

과실의 연화 및 변색이 가장 적게 발생되는 과실 크기별 봉지 규격을 구명하고 이와 더불어 연화 및 변색과 상관관계를 가지는 봉지 내 산소와 이산화탄소 농도와의 관계를 이용하여, 최적 기체 농도가 이루어지도록 PE 필름 봉지의 적정 규격을 모델링하고자 하였다. 다섯 등급으로 선과된 과실(LL:261g, L:217g, M:188g, S:168g, SS:154g)을 작업성과 미관을 고려하여 과실과 봉지 사이의 간격을 1-1.5cm 되게 PE 필름 봉지를 적용시켰을 때, LL은 150mm, L은 140mm, M과 S는 130mm, SS는 120mm의 봉지 폭에 각각 376mm, 357mm, 344mm, 333mm, 318mm의 봉지 길이가 적절하였다. 연화 및 흑변과 갈변 발생을 최소화하는 봉지 내 산소와 이산화탄소 농도는 각각 0.5-1.0%와 6.0-8.0%였으며, 이를 유지할 수 있는 과실 크기별 PE 필름 봉지의 최적두께는 LL은 $45{\mu}m$, L은 $50{\mu}m$, M은 $55{\mu}m$, S는 $60{\mu}m$, SS는 $65{\mu}m$로 조사되었다. 주어진 과실 크기에 맞는 봉지의 면적$(mm^2)$은 과실의 중량(g)에 대한 2차 단순회귀$(Y=-4055.707+627.993X_1-0.701{X_1}^2)$가 매우 적합하였고, 이 때 PE 필름 봉지 내에 원하는 수준의 산소나 이산화탄소 농도(Y, %)를 유지할 수 있는 PE 필름의 두께를 구하는 회귀식은 과실 중량$(X_1,\;g)$과 봉지 두께$(X_2,\; {\mu}m)$의 선형 중회귀$(O_2:Y=5.798-0.0109X_1-0.0491X_2,\;CO_2:Y=-2.427+0.01927X_l+0.09646X_2)$가 가장 적합하였다.
