Plastic Coating에 의(依)한 청과물저장연구(靑果物貯藏硏究) (제1보(第1報)) -사과(국광(國光))에 대(對)하여-

These studies were made on coating of fresh fruits and vegetables with PVC under view on preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables due to restrain water evaporation of them and control gas metabolisms. The results obtained, as selection of PVC materials availble for preservation of them, procedure of the coating, useful organic solvents, concentration of PVC solution and the time of dipping, and effects of the preservation of them, were summarized as follows: 1) PVC powder 222 and PVC powder 443 were surveyed as suitable materials for coating apple, and later was excellent in lustrous aspect. 2) The coating procedure which dipt into PVC solution was suitable to treat much within a short space of time, and using of ventillator accelerate rather evaporation of the organic solvent. 3) Aceton and methyethylketon as solvent of the PVC were, in purpose of storage only, avaible, while aceton was, in view ef taste, better. 4) 10% of the PVC solutions were better to preserve the freshness of apple and 5, 4, 1 and 0.5% of them in order were gradually decreased in preservability, and 15% of them as high concentration were looked like fermentation in one week after the coating. 5) The dipping time was also better n minute than 10 seconds in a preservation but 1-2 minutes could be applied owing to be not affected of the taste due to coating. 6) The freshness of treatment groups were extend about 48 days after coating in room temperature but control lost market value with 12 days. 7) Weight of control was decreased to 10-13% but treatment which was dipped into 10% of coating solution for one minute was decreased to 3.5-4.6% and treatment for four minutes was did to 2.9-3.0%. 8) Change in respiration was less is treatment groups than control in exhaustion of $CO_2$, and water soluble sugar, reduced sugar and pH were not changed almost due to coating. 9) Pannel discussion of the taste was indicated that control was better than treatments soon after coating, but treatments were rather than control last period of storage and treatment with aceton solvent specially was better than others.

Plastic 용액(溶液)을 청과물표피(靑果物表皮)에 피복(被覆)하던 수분증산(水分蒸散)의 억제(抑制)와 gas대사(代謝)의 조절(調節)로 저장목적(貯藏目的)을 효과적(效果的)으로 달성(達成)할수 있다는 기도(企圖)아래 적당(適當)한 P.V.C. powder의 색출(索出) Coating의 방법(方法) 유기용매(有機溶媒)의 선택(選擇) 농도(濃度)와 침지시간(浸漬時間)및 저장효과(貯藏效果)에 대(對)하여 시험(試驗)을 수행(遂行), 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1) P.V.C powder 222 및 443은 사과 Coating에 모두 적합(適合)하나 433이 광택(光澤)에서 더욱 우수(優秀)하였다. 2) Coating의 방법(方法)은 침지법(浸漬法)이 단시간내(短時間內) 다량(多量) Coating에 적합(適合)하며 Ventillator의 사용(使用)은 유기용매(有機溶媒)의 휘발(揮發)을 촉진(促進)하였다. 3) 유기용매(有機溶媒)는 Acetone 과 Methyl ethyl ketone 이 저장목적(貯藏目的)에 저합(適合)하나 식미(食味)를 고려(考慮)할때 Acetone이 실용적(實用的)이라고 생각한다. 4) 용액(溶液)의 농도(濃度)는 10, 5, 4, 1, 0.5%의 순위(順位)로 선도보장(鮮度保藏)이 우수(優秀)하였으며 15%는 Coating 1 주일후(過日後)부터 발효현산(醱酵現象)이 일어났다. 5) 침지시간(浸漬時間)은 4분(分) 2분(分) 1분(分) 10초(秒)의 순위(順位)로 보장성(保藏性)이 우수(優秀)하였으나 심미(食味)를 고려(考慮)하여 $1{\sim}2$분간침지(分間浸漬)이 실용적(實用的)이라 생각한다. 6) 선도(鮮度)의 보장(保藏)은 Control구(區)가 고온저장(高溫貯藏)에서 12일후(日後)부터 점차(漸次) 상품가치(商品價値)를 상실(喪失)한데 비(比)하여 Coating 구(區)에서는 48 일간(日間) 선도(鮮度)가 보장(保藏)되어 현저(顯著)한 저장효과(貯藏效果)를 보였다. 7) 중량감소율(重量滅少率)은 고온저장(高溫貯藏)에서 Control 구(區)가 $10{\sim}13%$감소(減少)한데 비(比)하여 10%에서 1분간침지(分間浸漬)한 것은 $3.5{\sim}4.6%$ 4분간침지(分間浸漬)한 것은 $2.9{\sim}3.0%$의 감소율(滅少率)을 나타냈다. 8) 호흡(呼吸)의 변화(變化)는 Coating구(區)에서 $CO_2$의 방출량(放出量)이 낮았으며 수용성당(水溶性糖), 환원당(還元糖)및 pH는 Coating에 의(依)한 변화(變化)가 거의 없었다. 9) 식미(食味) Test 결과(結果)는 Coating 직후(直後)에는 Control 구(區)에 비(比)하여 저조(低調)하였으나 저장말기(貯藏末期)에는 Coating 구(區)의 평점(評點)이 높았으며 특(特)히 Acetone 용매(溶媒)를 사(使用)한 것이 우수(優秀)하였다.
