Abstract

Traditionally mungbean(Vigna radiata L.) sprouts has been eaten soon after washing. The study was carried out to measure the effect of washing before packaging on morphological characters and color of mungbean sprouts. The seeds of cv. Zhong Lu 1 were soaked in 50 ppm BA solution immediately before 4 hour aeration and then cultured for 6 days. The sprouts were washed immediately before packaged with PE envelops or not, and then stored 5 days at $8^{\circ}C$. Their morphological characters, fresh and dry weights, and colors were measured everyday. Compared to washed, nonwashed sprouts had more lateral roots although the two sprouts did nearly same in hypocotyl and root lengths, hypocotyl diameter, fresh and dry weights. Non-washed sprouts, moreover, showed higher brightness in hypocotyl and root and cutting resistance in hypocotyl although there were not significant differences in color a and b, meaning that the latter ones were more rapidly changed during their storage. In non-washed sprouts, number of lateral roots, hypocotyl length and diameter, total fresh and dry weights were nearly same up to 3 days and afterward were declined. Brightness and color b of hypocotyl were decreased with increased storage period although cutting resistance of hypocotyl was since 3 days after storage.

전래적으로 숙주나물은 저장성을 높이기 위하여 세척하지 않고 탈수시켜 이용하여 왔다. 본 연구는 생산된 숙주나물의 수분 함량과 관련된 세척이 제품의 저장성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 포장하기 직전 물에 씻거나 씻지 않는 세척 유무가 5일간 저장중 숙주나물의 형태 및 무게에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 무세척 숙주나물에 비하여 세척시킨 숙주나물은 저장 4일 후까지 수분 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 무세척 숙주나물은 세척시킨 숙주나물에 비하여 저장중 형성된 개체당 세근수가 많았던 반면, 하배축과 뿌리 길이, 하배축 중간과 hook 부분의 직경, 각부위 및 전체 생체중과 건물중에서는 세척 유무간에 차이가 없었다. 3. 무세척 숙주나물은 세척시킨 숙주나물에 비하여 하배축 및 뿌리의 탁도, 하배축의 전단력이 높았던 반면, 색도 a와 b에서 세척 유무간 차이가 없어 저장중 무세척 숙주나물의 품질 저하가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 4. 무세척 숙주나물에서 세근수, 하배축 길이, 하배축 중간부분의 직경, 하배축과 전체 생체중 및 건물중은 저장 후 3일까지 변화가 없었으나 그 이후 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 5. 무세척 숙주나물에서 하배축의 전단력은 저장 4일 후부터, 하배축의 명도와 색도 b는 저장기간이 길어질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다.
