Effects of Packing Materials on the Keeping Freshness of Chinese Chives(Allium Tubersum Rottler) at Low Temperature Storage

부추 저온저장시 선도유지에 미치는 포장재료의 효과

During the storage period of chives(Allium Tubersum fouler) at low temperature(4-5$^{\circ}C$), weight loss in chives by the packages of LDPE, p.p and HDPE film was decreased less than 1%, however that of chives unpacked was remarkably increased as time went by. Soluble solids of unpacked chives was decreased from 6.0 to 4.6 $^{\circ}$Brix after 2 weeks storage and that of LDPE film sealed was lessened to 4.9-5.9 $^{\circ}$Brix, the treatment of deaeration showed a tendency to decrease a lot to 4.5-4.7 $^{\circ}$Brix. The vitamin C content of chives unpacked was 37.1mg% at before storage, but after one week decreased very much to 15.2mg%, and that in chives packed by the different methods was visibly lessened after 2 weeks storage. the Vitamin C content in chives processed by deaeration sealing method was lessened compared to that at chives processed by sealing only. In the bag of chives packed by HDPE film had low CO$_2$ and C$_2$H$_4$ concentration and the gas concentration in the bag of chives processed by P.P. film was increased as storage period went by. Conclusively the freshness of chives packaged by LDPE and HDPE film maintained for 3 weeks, at P.P film for 2 weeks, but the marketability of chives unpacked was degraded in 3-4 days.

부추저장 중 포장재별 중량감소는 LDPE, PP 및 HDPE film처리가 포장재간 큰차이 없이 1% 미만의 매우 작은 감소를 보였으나, 무포장은 저장기간이 경과할수록 감소율이 현저히 증가하였다. 부추즙액의 당도는 입고시 6.0 $^{\circ}$Brix에서 무포장 2주째에 4.6 $^{\circ}$Brix로 크게 감소되었으며, LDPE film등 포장재처리는 밀봉처리에서 4.9-5.9 $^{\circ}$Brix로 감소폭이 적었고, 탈기처리시에는 4.5-4.7 $^{\circ}$Brix로 감소폭이 다소 큰 경향이었다. Vitamin C함량은 입고시 37.lmg%에서 무포장은 저장 1주째에 15.2mg%로 급격히 감소되었다. 포장재 처리시에는 저장 2주 후부터 현저히 감소되었는데, 포장방법간에는 탈기밀봉이 밀봉처리에 비해 감소폭이 더 컸다. 저장기간중 $CO_2$및 $C_2$H$_4$ 가스농도의 변화를 조사한 결과 HDPE film 처리는 다소 낮은 농도를 보였으나. PP film처리는 저장기간이 길수록 증가하였다. 부추의 저장방법별 신선도(상품성)를 외형적 특성 및 품질변화 측면에서 종합 검토한 결과, LDPE와 HDPE film 처리는 저장 3주, P.P. film처리는 저장 2주까지 선도가 유지되었으나 무포장은 저온저장 3-4일만에 상품성이 현저히 저하하였다.
