Abstract

The effects of the ice pack and aluminum coated board in the corrugated boxes for maintaining the quality of fresh oriental melons (Cucumis melo var. makuwa) were investigated. The harvested oriental melons were stored at a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ for 21 days after placing them in the corrugated boxes treated with control, including ice pack and aluminum coated board. The treatment with the ice pack and aluminum coated board was identified to have maintained the relative low temperature in the corrugated box against the high temperature from the environment. For the storage study of the oriental melon, the treatments with the ice pack and aluminum coated board reduced the respiration rate, the development of external color, and total weight loss. All treatments were also effective in maintaining the firmness and decreasing the decay ratio of the oriental melon as compared to those that were controlled. However, the value of total soluble solids regarding the fruit was insignificantly affected by the ice pack treatment. The results indicated that the application of the ice pack and aluminum coated board in the corrugated box played an important role in maintaining the quality of oriental melons during storage. The combination with the ice pack and aluminum coated board had more effective values on the storage qualities for oriental melons than that with the ice pack only. Based on the results of this study, the ice pack and aluminum coated board were the useful treatments for reducing the loss of quality of the fresh oriental melons in high temperature storage conditions.

본 연구는 저장 중 참외(Cucumis melo var. makuwa)의 품질 개선 효과를 보기 위하여 일반 골판지 박스로 포장한 무처리 대조구, 아이스 팩을 첨가하여 포장한 시험구, 및 아이스 팩과 알루미늄 코팅 보드로 처리된 박스로 포장한 시험구를 각각 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 참외의 품질변화는 $30^{\circ}C$의 저장 조건에서 21일 동안 저장 기간에 따른 참외의 호흡률, 중량감소율, 색도, 경도, 당도, 외관 품질 및 부패과 발생율로 관찰하였다. 저장 21일째 아이스 팩을 첨가한 포장 그리고 아이스 팩 및 알루미늄 코팅 보드를 적용한 포장으로 저장한 참외는 호흡률, 중량감소율, 및 색도, 및 경도 값의 지연으로 뛰어난 선도 유지 효과를 나타냈을 뿐만 아니라 특히 외관품질, 부패과 발생율을 감소시켜 상품성이 유지 효과를 보았다. 반면 참외의 가용성 고형분 함량 값은 각각 다른 형태로 적용한 포장에 의해 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 아이스 팩과 알루미늄 코팅 보드를 적용한 박스로 포장한 참외는 아이스 팩으로 만 포장한 참외 보다 상대적으로 품질이 개선되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 골판지 박스 내부에 아이스 팩의 적용은 참외 과실이 품고 있는 온도를 낮출 뿐만 아니라 알루미늄 코팅 보드는 외부 고온 환경으로 부터 온도 차단 효과로 포장 내부의 온도 상승에 따른 빠른 품질 변화를 막을 수 있는 역할을 한다고 판단된다.
