Abstract

This study was conducted to determine if chlorine dioxide ($ClO_{2}$) gas might minimize microbial contamination of fresh produce. After exposing grapes to 20 ppm or 40 ppm of chlorine dioxide gas in a closed container, grapes treated with 20 ppm $ClO_{2}$ were packaged in Ny/PE/L-LDPE pouches, stapes treated with 40 ppm $ClO_{2}$ were placed in an empty corrugated box, and untreated control grapes were placed in a box with a sachet containing $ClO_{2}$ gas adsorbed to silica gel (a silica gel pad). The free volume of the sachet material allowed the release of $ClO_{2}$ gas into the headspace of packages containing fresh grapes. Control fruit not exposed to $ClO_{2}$, was placed in a box and stored at either $25^{\circ}C$ or $0^{\circ}C$. Fruit in Ny/PE/L-LDPE film treated with 20 ppm $ClO_{2}$ lost almost no weight during storage at either $25^{\circ}C$ or $0^{\circ}C$. Such fruit had a lower soluble solid content than did other fruit samples. Titratable acidity tended to fall rapidly during storage at either $25^{\circ}C$ or $0^{\circ}C$. Anthocyanin content of grapes decreased over 21 days at $25^{\circ}C$ but increased over 10 weeks at $0^{\circ}C$. The total microbial count of grapes treated with $ClO_{2}$ gas and silica gel pads were lower than controls at $25^{\circ}C$. Fruit treated with 20 ppm $ClO_{2}$ and packaged in Ny/PE/L-LDPE pouches had lower microbial counts than other fruit samples when stored at $0^{\circ}C$. The silica gel pad did not significantly improve total microbial count (compared to untreated control samples) at $0^{\circ}C$. This result may be attributed to a higher rate of diffusion of $ClO_{2}$ gas at room temperature.

농산물의 미생물학적 안전성에 대한 요구가 증대되면서 미생물에 의한 농산물의 오염 및 균의 발생을 최소화하기 위해 이산화염소($ClO_{2}$) 가스를 이용한 포도저장 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 중량감소율은 상온, 저온저장 모두 20 ppm+Ny/PE/L-LDPE 처리구가 가장 적었고 가용성 고형물 함량은 상온, 저온저장 모두 무처리구가 다른 포장구에 비해 높은 값을 나타내었으며 20 ppm+Ny/PE/L-LDPE 처리구는 감소했다. 적정산도 값은 상온, 저온저장 중 모든 포장구에서 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 Anthocyanin 함량은 상온저장에서는 모든 포장구에서 저장 14일까지 증가하다가 저장 21일에 급격히 감소했으며 저온저장에서는 저장 10주까지 모든 포장구간이 초기보다 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 총균수 값은 상온저장 시 $ClO_{2}$ gas처리 및 silica gel pad 처리구가 총균수 억제효과를 나타내었고 저온저장에서는 $ClO_{2}$ gas를 처리한 20 ppm+Ny/PE/L-LDPE와 40 ppm포장구에서 총균수 억제효과를 나타내어 저온보다 상온에서 $ClO_{2}$ gas의 효과가 더 크게 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.
