Abstract

Although fruit grown under sustainable farming conditions is believed to be healthier for humans than is fruit grown by conventional cultivation, little scientific information on the characteristics of fruit produced using these two farming systems is available in Korea. Therefore, weinvestigated fruit quality, total polyphenolic contents, and anti-oxidant activities in 'Niitaka' pears grown under sustainable and conventional farming management systems. Treatmentsincluded use of a chitin compost admixed with liquid chitin fertilizer (plot A), and use of a chitin compost admixed with liquid chitin fertilizer treated by infrared radiation (plot B). Plots C and D used conventional management systems. Fruit qualities at harvest differed between both sustainable plots A and B and the conventional plots C and D. The average values of firmness and total polyphenolic content in fruit harvested from sustainable plots were not significantly greaterthan those of fruit grownin conventional plots, after 60 days of storage. Fruit grown in all plots had low polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity at harvest but this increased during storage. Fruit from sustainable plot B showed an increased electron donating ability compared with fruit grown using the other systems.

최근에 유기 재배된 과실이 관행재배와 비교해서 건강관련 물질과 관련된 화합물이 다량 분포된다는 연구와 주장이 제기되어 왔지만, 국내에서는 두 가지 재배방법에 따른 과실품질을 분석한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구는 유기농과 관행으로 재배 된 배 '신고'의 과실품질과 폴리페놀 및 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. 처리는 키틴 복합퇴비+키틴 액비(구역 A), 키틴 복합퇴비+적외선으로 처리 된 키틴 액비(구역 B), 그리고 관행재배 시스템(구역 C와 D)으로 나누었다. 처리구간에 따른 수확기 과실 품질은 일정한 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 과실 저장 60일 후 유기농 구역 A와 B에서 재배된 과실의 경도와 페놀함량의 평균은 관행 재배구보다 약간 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 모든 구역에서 수확 시기에는 낮은 함량의 폴리페놀 산화효소 활성을 나타냈으나, 저장 기간 동안 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 유기 재배구인 구역 B는 다른 재배구들에 비교해서 과실 내 높은 전자 공여도를 나타내었다.
