Abstract

The storage quality of ready-to-eat Campbell table grapes which were packaged under modified atmospheres was investigated in order to examine the effect of high $O_2$ and $CO_2$ on the fruit. Fresh table grapes with 10-15 berries were packed into polypropylene (PP) trays and were top-sealed with polythylene terephthalate/PP film. The initial gas compositions inside the packages were air, 20% $O_2$/10% $CO_2$/70% $N_2$, and 40% $O_2$/60% $N_2$. Sealed packages with low density polyethylene film bags and perforated PP trays were also used as a further treatment and control, respectively. The quality attributes were assessed during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Fruit packaged in high $CO_2$ concentration showed the lowest viable cell counts of inherent microorganisms among all samples, although they suffered from severe off-flavors. High levels of $O_2$ significantly lowered flesh weight loss and maintained the flavor of grape. In an overall sensory aspect, the high $O_2$ and $CO_2$ packages exhibited greater scores than the air and control at the end of the storage period. Other quality attributes showed no significant differences among treatments. Results suggest that packaging with an appropriate combination of high $O_2$ and $CO_2$ can be used as an effective processing treatment for improvement of the storability of ready-to-eat table grapes.

신선편이 포도 상품의 유통, 판매 중 부패억제 및 품질유지를 위한 환경기체조절포장기법의 활용 가능성을 확인하고자 살균소독, 세척, 절단 과정을 거친 캠벨 포도 시료에 대해 다양한 기체 충진 조건을 적용하여 플라스틱 포장용기에 밀봉한 후 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 품질변화를 살펴보았다. 고이산화탄소 조건에서 포도의 호흡률은 일반 대기조성에서의 호흡률과 크게 다르지 않았으나, 고산소 조건에서는 산소 소모율이 2배 정도 증가하는 비정상적인 호기호흡이 일어났다. 저온저장 중 포장 내부의 기체조성은 초기 기체충진 조건에 관계없이 $O_2$가 모두 소비되고 고농도의 $CO_2$가 축적되었으나, PE 포장구에서는 약 13% 이상의 $O_2$가 유지되었다. 포도의 품질인자 가운데 생체중량은 대조구인 통기 포장구에서만 1.0% 이상 감소하였고 고산소 처리구에서 가장 낮은 중량감소를 나타내었으며, 과육의 pH, 산도, 가용성 고형분 함량 및 경도, 과피 표면색, 폴리페놀 함량, PPO 활성에서는 기체충진 조건에 의한 유의적 차이를 구분할 수 없었다. 한편 고이산화탄소 처리구에서는 약 $10^1-10^2$ CFU/g 수준의 가장 낮은 미생물 균수를 나타내었으나 저장말기에 이취가 강하게 발생하였고, 고산소 처리구에서는 상대적으로 이취가 적고, 고유의 포도향이 유지되면서 관능검사 평가점수가 다소 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 적정 농도의 고이산화탄소와 고산소를 병용한 환경기체조절포장은 신선편이 포도의 저장유통 중 품질유지에 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었지만, 최적의 포장조건을 찾기 위해서는 향후 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.
