초록

본 연구는 예냉처리가 치콘의 MA저장에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 치콘의 예냉은 강제송풍 예냉처리에 빠르게 진행되어 품온이 예냉 목표 온도인 $2{\pm}1^{\circ}C$까지 저하되는데 소요시간이 강제송풍예냉이 자연통풍식의 1/6 수준이었다. 반냉각시간은 자연예냉이 3시간 21분, 강제통풍식이 1시간 17분이었다. 저장중 치콘의 생체중은 $5^{\circ}C$$10^{\circ}C$ 저장에서 모든 처리구가 0.5% 미만의 감소로 극히 적었으며 예냉시간이 짧았던 강제송풍예냉이 가장 높게 유지되었다. 저장중 포장재내 산소와 이산화탄소 그리고 에틸렌의 농도변화는 $5^{\circ}C$에 비해 $10^{\circ}C$에서 변화폭이 컸다. 예냉에 의한 호흡 억제 효과는 $5^{\circ}C$에서 나타나지 않았으나, $10^{\circ}C$에서 저장 9일 이후 대조구보다 낮은 이산화탄소와 높은 산소 농도로 확인되었다. 에틸렌은 예냉처리구가 저장 3일까지 대조구에 비해 다소 낮았으나 저장 6일부터는 처리간에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 저장 15일째 조사한 외관상 품질은 $5^{\circ}C$$10^{\circ}C$ 모두에서 대조구에 비해 예냉처리구에서 높게 유지되었는데, 예냉처리별로는 예냉기간이 휠씬 짧았던 강제송풍예냉에서 품질저하가 자연예냉 보다 더 컸다. 이는 6.0m/sec의 강한 송풍으로 치콘의 외옆 일부가 물리적 상처를 입었기 때문이라 판단되어 송풍속도 등에 대한 세밀한 추가 실험이 요구된다.

The effects of precooling treatments on the storability of chicon were investigated during modified atmosphere (MA) storage. The forced air cooling showed faster precooling rate that reduced the internal temperature of chicon to $2{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, and the precooling time of forced air cooling was 1/6 of room cooling. The half cooling time was 3 hr 21 min in room cooling and 1 hr 17 min in forced air cooling. Weight loss was less than 0.5% in all treatments both $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ MA storage and maintained higher in forced air cooling treatment. The concentration of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and ethylene of $50{\mu}m$ ceramic film packages were observed higher at $10^{\circ}C$ than $5^{\circ}C$. The precooling effect on respiration reduction was not shown at $5^{\circ}C$, but appeared that the gas concentration of precooling treatments showed less carbon dioxide and higher oxygen than non precooling treatment by 9 days after $10^{\circ}C$ storage. Ethylene concentration of precooling treatments showed lower than non precooling treatment until 3 days both $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ MA storage. Precooling showed the effect on maintaining visual quality of chicon both $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ MA storage. However, the forced air cooling that showed faster precooling rate did not appeared more precooling effect on the visual quality than room cooling because the fast air flow (6.0 m/sec) of forced air cooling hit directly on chicon outer leaves and might cause physical damage to chicon. Although the forced air cooling showed the effect on maintaining quality of chicon, but additional studies should be needed that investigated proper air flow rate and cooling box structure can prevent physical damage by air flow.
