Abstract

Greenhouse satsuma mandarins (Citrus unshiu Marc., cv. Gungchun) of an early harvesting cultivar were treated by hot water showering at 65$^{\circ}C$ for 10 s at a commercial scale in a packing house and then stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks and subsequently at 18$^{\circ}C$ for 1 week (simulated shelf-life) to examine the potential use of hot water treatment (HWT) as an environmentally benign method to maintain mandarin quality characteristics during postharvest storage and sale. The respiration rate just after heat treatment or during storage was at a similar level in both the treated and untreated fruit. HWT also had no detrimental effects on quality attributes including pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids content, weight loss, firmness, and peel color. The development of stem-end rot, mold decay, and black rot was lower in the heat-treated fruit compared to those in the untreated control. A sensory evaluation showed that HWT markedly improved fruit appearance, making the fruit cleaner and glossier. The results suggested that HWT can be applied to satsuma mandarin as an effective pretreatment to maintain postharvest quality during storage and marketing.

감귤의 유통 중 신선도 유지에 효과적인 것으로 알려진 열수처리를 실제 생산현장에서 적용 가능성을 확인해 보고자 상용 선과장의 선과시설에 열수처리 장치를 장착하여 온실재배 온주감귤을 대상으로 현장처리 실험을 실시한 후 저장 중 품질특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 수확후 감귤을 65$^{\circ}C$의 열수로 10초간 분무한 열수처리구와 무처리 대조구를 5$^{\circ}C$에서 3주, 이후 18$^{\circ}C$에서 1주간 저장하면서 생리특성 및 품질특성 변화를 비교한 결과, 호흡률은 열수처리에 따른 차이가 없었으며 pH, 총산도, 가용성 고형분 함량, 중량감소, 경도, 표피 색과 같은 품질인자 항목에서도 열수처리에 의한 차이를 볼 수 없었다. 그러나 열수처리는 저장 중 꼭지 썩음, 곰팡이 썩음, 표피 흑변 등의 부패과 발생을 현저히 억제시키는 동시에 표면 광택을 포함한 외관품질을 우수하게 유지하였다. 결과적으로 현장실험에서 적용한 열수처리는 상품감귤의 유통 중 신선도 유지용 수확 후 전처리 방법으로서 상당히 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.
