Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) concentrations on fruit quality of small-sized RubyS apples during cold storage. After harvesting, the fruits were treated with 1-MCP at 0.5 or 1 µL/L concentrations and, subsequently, stored at 0℃ for 6 months. After 6 months, the flesh firmness of untreated fruits, which was 85.4 N at harvest, had gradually decreased to 46.5 N; however, that of 1-MCP-treated fruits was maintained at 59.1 and 59.5 N. Titratable acidity (TA) of untreated fruits had also decreased from 0.42 to 0.24%, whereas that of 1-MCP-treated fruits was maintained at 0.26 and 0.27%. Soluble solids content (SSC) did not differ in all fruits. However, the 1-MCP-treated fruits had lower levels of SSC/TA ratio than untreated fruits. Moreover, after 6 months, the ethylene production had increased to 47.0 µL/kg/h in the untreated fruits, whereas 1-MCP blocked the ethylene production at 1.4 and 1.7 µL/kg/h. The weight loss and peel color variables remained unaffected by 1-MCP treatments. Thus, these results indicated that, for RubyS apples, the storability was only 2 months at 0℃ without treatment, which can be extended to 6 months with 1-MCP treatments. The application of 1-MCP at 0.5 µL/L concentration is effectively and economically sufficient to maintain the quality of RubyS apples.

본 연구는 소과종 '루비에스' 사과를 수확한 후 1-MCP를 0.5 및 1 µL/L의 농도로 처리한 다음 0℃에서 6개월간 저장하면서 과실품질을 조사하였다. 무처리 과실의 경도는 수확 시 85.4 N이었고, 저장 6개월 후에는 46.5 N으로 급격히 감소되었으나, 1-MCP 처리 과실들은 59.1와 59.5 N으로높은 경도를 보였다. 산 함량은 수확 시 0.42%에서 저장기간 동안 서서히 감소하여 저장 6개월 후 무처리 과실은 0.24%였으나 1-MCP 처리 과실들은 0.26와 0.27%로 높게 유지되었다. 그리고 가용성 고형물 함량은 차이가 없었고, 당산비는 1-MCP 처리 과실들이 무처리 과실과 비교하여 적은 변화율을 나타내었다. 에틸렌 발생량은 무처리 과실의 경우 저장 6개월 후 47.0 µL/kg/h로 급격히 증가하였으나, 1-MCP 처리 과실들은 1.4와 1.7 µL/kg/h로 매우 낮은 에틸렌 발생량을 보였다. 그리고 저장기간 동안 중량감소율은 처리 간 차이가 없었고, 저장 3개월 후부터는 3.0% 이상의 중량감소율을 보였다. 과피의 착색도는 양광면과 바탕색 모두 처리 간 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 소과종 '루비에스' 사과의 저온저장 시 유통한계기는 무처리 과실은 2개월 정도로 판단되지만, 1-MCP 처리 과실은 중량감소율을 제외한다면 6개월까지도 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 특히, 적정 1-MCP 처리농도는 0.5 µL/L가 효율적이라고 판단되었다.
