Abstract

This study was conducted using 8-year-old 'Niitaka' (Pyrus pyriforia) pear trees to investigate the effect of different organic fertilizers on fruit quality and level of total phenolicsin a conventionally managed orchard. Trees were treated with one of five different fertilizers: 1) control (60 g of chemical fertilizer [16N-11P-12K] per tree) 2) rice bran (RB, 10 kg per tree); 3) coffee bran compost (CBC, 10 kg per tree); 4) chitin-incubated compost (CIC, 10 kg per tree); or 5) RCC (RB+CBC+CIC, 30 kg per tree). Soluble solid content, hardness, and titratable acidity were significantly higher in fruit from RCC-treated trees compared with fruit from trees exposed to other treatments. Overall, control fruit had smaller stones and lower calcium concentration than had organically fertilized fruit. Also, control fruit showed a reduced level of total phenolic compounds and lower antioxidant activity in both peel and flesh than did organically fertilized fruit. Compost-treated trees yielded fruit of enhanced edibility and with longer shelf-life owing to a reduction in stone size and increased calcium concentration, respectively. Overall, fruit from trees treated with organic fertilizers was of higher quality and had greater antioxidant levels compared with fruit from trees treated with chemical fertilizer.

관행재배 과원의 토양에 여러 유기질 퇴비를 시비하였을 경우 배 과실의 품질특성의 차이를 구명하고자 실시하였다. 8년생 신고배에 쌀겨퇴비, 커피박퇴비, 키친퇴비(미생물지킴이(R)) 및 위의 3종 유기질 비료 복합 처리구를 배치하고 주당 10 kg 을 시비하였고, 대조구는 화학비료를 주당 60 g 시비하였다. 과실당도나 경도, 산도에서는 복합처리구에서 대조구보다 높았고 석세포 함량은 모든 유기질 비료처리구에서 대조구보다 낮았다. 과피와 과육에서의 DPPH 라디컬 소거활성은 모든 처리구에서 대조구보다 높아지는 경향을 나타냈고, 페놀화합물 함량도 과피와 과육에서 대조구보다 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 과피의 페놀화합물 함량은 처리구에 상관없이 과육보다 6배 정도 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과로 보아, 화학비료를 대체한 유기질 비료의 시용으로 배 과실내 석세포 감소와 품질 특성의 향상과 총 페놀함량 증가 및 DPPH 라디컬 소거활성이 증가하였다.
