Abstract

Fresh ginger rhizomes were heat-treated for 10 min, 30 min, or 60 min using hot air ($40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, or $60^{\circ}C$), and stored in low-density polyethylene (0.04 mm thickness) bags for 2 months at $12{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. We studied the effects of heat pretreatment on changes in gas levels after packaging, and quality characteristics of the rhizomes. Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels progressively fell and rose, respectively, as the temperature of heat treatment rose and the duration of such treatment was extended. The sprouting rate of ginger rhizomes treated at $40^{\circ}C$ was higher than that of other samples. Rotting, softening, and increasing pH of rhizomes were accelerated by treatment at higher temperature for a longer time. Weight loss and soluble solid levels were not affected by heat treatment. Sensory qualities such as appearance, odor, and overall acceptability of rhizomes fell with treatment at a higher temperature for a longer time. These results suggest that heat pretreatment has a detrimental effect on the quality of fresh ginger rhizomes.

생강의 근경을 열풍(40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$)으로 일정시간(10, 30, 60분) 처리한 후 LDPE 필름(0.04 mm)으로 밀봉 포장하고 $12{\pm}1^{\circ}C$에서 2개월간 저장하면서 포장 내 기체조성과 생강의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 포장 내 산소와 이산화탄소 농도는 열처리 온도가 높고 시간이 길수록 낮고 높은 경향이었다. 발아율은 $40^{\circ}C$ 처리구에서 보다 높았으며, 부패율은 고온 장시간 처리구 일수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 육질경도는 열처리 온도가 높아지고 시간이 길어질수록 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 중량감소율과 가용성 고형분 함량은 열처리 조건의 영향을 받지 않았으며, pH는 고온 장시간 처리구 일수록 다소 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 관능적 외관, 냄새 및 전반적 기호도 등은 열처리 온도가 증가하고 시간이 길어질수록 낮게 평가되었다. 이러한 결과로써, 생강의 포장 전에 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상의 열풍으로 10분 이상 처리는 품질유지에 효과가 없으며, 고온일수록 품질손실을 촉진하는 것으로 판단되었다.
