Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and ethylene-absorbent on the qualities of Prunus mume fruit. Prunus mume fruits were stored without film packaging (Cont), packed in LDPE film (Cont-P), and packed with ethylene-absorbent (Cont-PE). Fruits were treated with 1-MCP (1 ppm) for 24 hr at $1^{\circ}C$. After treatment, fruits were packed in LDPE film (MCP-P) and with ethylene-absorbent (MCP-PE) and then stored at $1^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks. Total soluble solids increased during storage but decreased after 6 weeks while total acidity decreased during storage. Cont was almost completely decayed after 8 weeks of storage while Cont-P, Cont-PE, MCP-PE, and MCP-P were 46, 69, 83, and 5% decayed, respectively. L value decreased but a value increased during storage in all samples. Firmness of peel and flesh of samples decreased gradually for 8 weeks. Respiration rate did not show any significant difference among samples. Ethylene production of Cont showed $0.05{\mu}L/kg/h$ but immediately after 1-MCP treatment, it showed $0.02{\mu}L/kg/h$. Oxalic and malic acids decreased while citric acid increased during storage; fructose and glucose substantially decreased after 8 weeks whereas sorbitol and sucrose increased upto 4 weeks and then decreased thereafter. Based on these results, packing the fruits treated with 1-MCP could extend the freshness of Prunus mume fruit.

본 연구는 미숙과 '백가하' 매실의 저장성 향상을 위한 1-MCP 및 에틸렌 흡착제의 효과를 조사하였다. 매실을 선별 후 Plastic-box(Cont), LDPE 필름포장(Cont-P) 및 에틸렌 흡착제(Cont-PE)를 첨가 후 포장하였으며, 1-MCP 처리구는 1.0 ppm 농도를 24시간 처리 후 동일한 방법(MCP-P, MCP-PE)으로 포장하여 $1^{\circ}C$에서 8주간 저장하며 2주 간격으로 품질특성을 분석하였다. 중량감소율의 경우 포장처리구는 저장 중 중량감소율이 1% 이하였으며, 가용성 고형분 함량은 증가 후 감소하였으나, 총산도는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 대조구의 부패율은 저장 4주차에 80%를 나타내었으나, 포장구들은 6주차까지 10%이하를 나타내었다. 저장 8주차 MCP-P구는 5%를 나타낸 반면, 이외 처리구들은 46%이상의 부패율을 나타내었다. 저장기간이 길어질수록 L값은 감소하였으나, a값은 증가하였으며, 과피 및 과육의 경도는 지속적으로 감소하였다. 호흡률은 저장 중 증가하였으나 처리구별 유의적 차이는 없었으며, 에틸렌 발생량은 1-MCP처리 직후 $0.02{\mu}L/kg/h$을 나타내어 대조구 $0.05{\mu}L/kg/h$h 보다 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 저장 4주차까지 1-MCP처리구의 에틸렌 발생량은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 유기산 함량의 경우 저장 중 oxalic acid 및 malic acid는 감소하는 반면 citric acid는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유리당 함량의 경우 sucrose는 저장 중 증가 후 8주차에 감소하는 반면 glucose 및 fructose 함량은 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과는 미숙과 '백가하' 매실을 1-MCP 처리 후 밀봉하여 $1^{\circ}C$에서 저장 할 경우 8주 동안 선도유지가 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.
