Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the quality change of "Tabor" tomatoes during long-term exportation periods. Hydroponics tomatoes were harvested at the turning stage, sorted, and box packed and then packaged in nylon film with a pallet. The packaged pallet was filled with a gas composition (5% $O_2$, 1% $CO_2$, and 94% $N_2$) and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for three weeks. The quality changes in weight loss, firmness, color, acidity, soluble solids, and microorganism growth were measured every 7 day interval. During the initial storage, the pallet-scale MAP showed slightly higher weight loss and firmness changes when compared to the conventional pallet. The total color change (${\Delta}E$) during ripening was delayed 10% under MAP storage. Acidity, soluble solids and phenolic compound contents decreased with increases in storage time regardless of the storage method; however, the quality changes of tomatoes were delayed in the MAP pallet. Furthermore, the decay rate of the pallet-scale MAP stored for 14 days was less than that of the conventional pallet, and the number of microorganisms was approximately 30% lower in the pallet-scale MAP, showing a positive effect on marketability. These results suggested that the pallet-scale MAP of tomatoes could ensure higher quality and longer storage periods than conventional pallet storage.

본 연구에서는 수출용 토마토의 파렛트 단위 MAP를 통한 저장 및 유통 가능성을 분석하고 미생물 생육 및 토마토의 품질에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. Turning 단계에서 수확된 Tabor 토마토를 박스 포장한 후 제작된 MAP 파렛트에 적층하고 나일론 필름을 이용하여 포장하여 혼합기체를 주입하여 초기 기체조성(5% $O_2$, 1% $CO_2$)을 하였다. MAP 및 일반 파렛트를 $10^{\circ}C$에서 저장하며 감모율, 가용성 고형분 함량, 적정산도, 색변화, 경도 및 페놀화합물함량 변화를 조사하였다. 저장초기 7일 MAP에서는 감모율 및 경도변화가 각각 0.84% 및 0.84N로 관행 파렛트 대비 높게 나타났으나 토마토의 품질에 영향 끼치는 수준은 아닌 반면, 후숙에 따른 총 색변화는 MAP에서 4.72로 관행저장 5.99 대비 21.2% 낮게 나타나 뚜렷한 후숙 지연효과를 나타냈다. 가용성 고형분 함량 및 적정산도는 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 저장방법에 관계없이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 저장 21일차까지 MAP에서 가용성 고형분, 적정산도 감소율이 각각 1.7% 및 1.9% 지연되었다. 뿐만 아니라 페놀화합물의 경우 관행저장에서 12.4%가 감소한 반면 MAP에서는 3.9%가 증가하였다. 그밖에 저장에 따른 부패율은 MAP 파렛트에서 14일차에 10%, 21일차에 35%이상 낮게 나타났으며, 미생물 성장률에서 총호기성 세균 및 곰팡이의 성장률은 MAP 파렛트에서 관행저장 대비 각각 28.8% 및 38.8% 가량 낮게 나타나 곰팡이 억제를 통한 토마토의 상품성 유지에 뛰어난 효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과에 비추어볼 때 파렛트 MAP 패널 및 나일론 비닐을 이용한 수출용 토마토의 파렛트 단위 MAP는 실용 가능한 기술로서 토마토의 품질 유지 및 저장기간 연장에 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
