Abstract

Master packaging system consists of an inner individual package and secondary outer package. During the stages of chilled transport and distribution, the combination of primary individual package and secondary package was used to maintain a modified atmosphere for shiitake mushrooms. During the retail stage at higher temperature ($25^{\circ}C$), the primary individual package was exposed to display conditions after dismantling of the secondary packaging. The master packaging system was constructed to contain eight individual $30-{\mu}m$ thick polypropylene film bags of 500 g shiitake mushrooms inside a $40-{\mu}m$ low-density polyethylene bag. Carbon dioxide absorbent material [$Ca(OH)_2$] and/or moisture absorbent (superabsorbent polymer) were designed in their required amounts based on respiration characteristics and then applied to the outer secondary packaging in sachet form. Gas concentration of the packaging, temperature, and humidity were monitored throughout transport and storage. The quality of shiitake mushrooms was measured at the retail stage to determine the packaging effect. During the distribution stage of 108 h, $O_2$ and $CO_2$ concentrations in the master packaging system were maintained at 9~11% and 1~4% in the inner packaging, respectively, which are good for quality preservation. Compared to the control, the master packaging with $CO_2$ and/or moisture absorbents improved mushroom preservation and particularly reduced decay.

생표고버섯 생산 농가에서 일반 판매처까지 보관 및 유통 단계를 거치면서 변화하는 온도 조건에 노출된 제품의 품질을 향상하기 위해 1차 개별포장과 2차 포장을 결합한 active 마스터 포장 시스템을 적용하였다. 외부 2차 포장에는 이산화탄소 흡수제인 $Ca(OH)_2$와 수분 흡수제인 고흡수성 고분자를 sachet 형태로 만들어 포장에 적용했다. 낮은 온도로 유지되는 저장단계에서는 1차 개별포장과 2차 포장의 결합한 형태로 수송 및 유통되고, 높은 온도에 노출되는 판매단계에서는 2차 포장을 해체한 후 판매가 진행되도록 하였다. 판매단계에서 2차 포장을 해체하면 온도 상승으로 인한 호흡 증가로 포장 내 산소 고갈과 높은 농도의 이산화탄소 축적을 막을 수 있으며, 급격한 생리장해를 억제할 수 있다. 수송 및 저장 단계에서 포장 내 기체조성과 온습도를 측정하고, 판매단계에서 포장을 개봉하여 생표고버섯의 품질을 측정하였다. 관행적인 방법인 통기성 천공 포장을 대조구로 하여 같은 조건으로 수송 및 유통, 판매를 통해 처리구 포장의 품질과 비교하였다. 이산화탄소 흡수제인 $Ca(OH)_2$와 수분 흡수제인 고흡수성 고분자를 봉지 형태로 만들어 함입시킨 active 마스터 포장 시스템은 유통 저장 단계에서 포장의 기체 이동과 이산화탄소 흡수제의 효과로 인하여 개별 포장내에 산소 농도가 9~11%, 이산화탄소 농도가 1~4% 범위를 얻을 수 있어서 품질보존에 도움이 되는 변형기체가 형성되었다. 처리구 간에 따른 경도와 표면색택, 호기성 세균수 등의 품질 변화에 대해서는 유의적인 차이를 확인할 수 없었으나, 대조구에 비해 이산화탄소 흡수제와 수분 흡수제의 처리구가 부패율 감소와 곰팡이/효모수의 성장억제 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 농가에서 포장 전 예건처리를 할 수 없는 상황이기 때문에 계절적인 요인에 따라 이산화탄소 흡수제와 수분 흡수제의 양을 조절한다면 active 마스터 포장 시스템의 효과를 볼 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.
