Abstract

The chemical components of four muskmelons (Thankyou, Beauty, Picnic, and Symphony), according to the cultivars, were investigated during storage at $7^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. After the storage period, the Picnic cultivar indicated a weight decrease of up to 4.70% whereas the Symphony cultivar showed the best weight maintenance during storage (1.02%). The Thankyou and Symphony cultivars had higher sugar content and acidity levels than the Beauty and Picnic cultivars during storage. While the Symphony and Beauty cultivars showed high hardness at the start of their storage, their hardness decreased much during storage while the Thankyou and Picnic cultivars showed little change in hardness during storage. Further, the Thankyou cultivar not only maintained its unique muskmelon yellow color but also showed lower microorganism growth than the other cultivars. The stem water loss seen in this cultivar, however, tends to be the first thing seen by the consumers and may thus determine its merchantable quality. In addition, as the Thankyou cultivar showed the least quality change during storage, it will be useful for the development of a technology for minimizing the moisture content of a muskmelon's stem.

국내산 머스크 멜론의 품종(Thankyou, Beauty, Picnic와 Sympony) 차이에 따른 $7^{\circ}C$ 저장 중 품질 변화를 조사하였다. Thankyou, Beauty, Sympony 품종은 28일, Picnic 품종은 21일까지 저장 실험이 가능하였다. Picnic 품종이 4.70%로 가장 큰 중량 감소율을 보였으며, Sympony 품종은 1.02%로 저장 중 중량이 가장 잘 유지되는 품종으로 나타났다. Thankyou와 Sympony 품종은 Beauty와 Picnic 품종에 비하여 저장 중 가용성고형물량과 산도가 높았다. 경도는 Sympony와 Beauty 품종이 저장 초기에 높았으나 저장 중 크게 감소하였던 반면, Thankyou와 Picnic 품종은 저장 중 경도 변화율이 적었다. 또한 Thankyou 품종은 저장 중 멜론 고유의 노란빛이 가장 잘 유지되었을 뿐만 아니라, 미생물 증식도 가장 적어서 저장 중 품질변화가 적었다. 하지만 소비자들이 상품성을 판단할 때 가장 먼저 보게 되는 꼭지의 수분손실은 저장 중 다른 품종들에 비하여 큰 것으로 나타났다.
