Abstract

Chicons are kinds of sprout vegetables which forced from the roots of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.). Experiments were performed to investigate the proper cultivation period and region of chicories which are 3 different cultivars for improving storability of chicon. The fresh weight of chicon packed with 20 ${\mu}m$ LDPE film decreased less than 0.5% during the storage at $10^{\circ}C$ in all treatments, and Chuncheon region treatment and 'Focus' cultivar treatment showed higher fresh weight loss than the others. And it decreased higher, as the cultivation periods was longer. The oxygen content in film was from 8% to 17% during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. There was not any significantly different oxygen content among cultivar treatments and cultivation region treatments, but 100 days' cultivation period treatment showed the highest content than the others. The carbon dioxide content in film showed around 3% during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. It also did not influenced by cultivars and cultivation regions, but 100 days' cultivation period treatment showed the lowest content than the others. The ethylene content in film was changed dramatically from 2 to 14 ${\mu}l{\cdot}l^{-1}$, and it showed around 8 ${\mu}l{\cdot}l^{-1}$ as approaching to 21 days after storage at $10^{\circ}C$. The visual quality of chicon deteriorated below marketability level from 12 days after storage at $10^{\circ}C$, and that of 'Metafora' cultivars decreased the highest. That of Pyeongchang region treatment was kept higher, and 'Vintor' cultivar treatment showed highest visual quality than the others which were grown in Pyeongchang region. The firmness of chicon increased, as the cultivation period was longer regardless of cutlivars and cultivation regions. The russet spotting that is ethylene injury symptom of chicon appeared at the latter term of storage and was higher in Chuncheon region treatment. Conculsionally, chicory that is for producing chicon should be grown more than 120 days in Kangwon region and grown in high-land region like Pyeongchang to improve the storability of chicon.

치콘은 저온처리된 chicory(Cichorium intybus L.) 뿌리에서 틔운 싹채소의 일종이다. 본 실험은 치콘의 저장성 향상을 위해 국내에 소개된 3가지 품종의 치커리의 적정 재배일수와 재배지역을 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. MA 저장중 치콘의 생체중 변화는 모든 처리구에서 0.5% 미만의 감소로 극히 적었는데, 재배 지역별로는 춘천에서 재배한 처리구가 평창 재배 처리구보다 높은 생체중 감소를 보였다. 품종별로는 재배 지역에 관계없이 Focus가 가장 큰 감소를 보였으며 재배기간이 짧을수록 생체중 감소가 컸다. 저장 중 포장재내 산소 농도는 최저 8%에서 최고 17%를 나타내었다. 품종이나 재배지역에 따른 차이에 뚜렷한 경향이나 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지는 않았으나, 100일 재배처리구에서 대체로 높은 산소 농도를 보였다. 저장 중 포장재내 이산화탄소의 농도는 대체로 3% 내외를 보였으며, 춘천과 평창 재배지역간 차이는 없었으며, 품종간에도 뚜렷한 경향은 없었다. 통계적 유의성을 없었으나, 산소농도와는 반대로 100일간 재배기간 처리가 가장 낮은 이산화탄소 농도를 보였다. 저장 중 포장재내 에틸렌 함량 변화도 처리간 차이에 일정한 경향 없이 $2\sim14{\mu}l{\cdot}l^{-1}$까지 변화폭이 매우 컸는데, 저장 최종일인 21일에 가까워 지면서 대체로 $8{\mu}l{\cdot}l^{-1}$ 내외의 수준을 보였다. 저장 중 외관상 품질은 대체로 12일이 지나면서 상품성 수준 이하로 저하되었는데, Metafora 품종의 품질저하가 가장 빨리 진행되었으며, Focus와 Vintor는 유사한 수준을 보였다. 재배 지역별로는 평창재배처리구가 대체로 품질 저하가 느리게 진행되었는데, 특히 Vintor 품종에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 재배 기간별로는 통계적 유의성은 뚜렷하지는 않았으나 100일과 110일 처리에서 가장 빠른 품질저하를 보였다. 치콘은 에틸렌 장해 증상인 적갈색 반점(russet spotting)은 저장 후기에 발생하였으며, 그 발생률은 춘천재배처구에서 높았다. 3가지 품종과 2재배지역 모두에서 재배일수가 증가할수록 경도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 치콘 생산용 치커리는 강원도에서는 120일 이상의 재배하는 것이 저장성을 높일 수 있으며, 춘천과 같은 평탄지보다 평창과 같은 고랭지에서 생산하는 것이 저장성 향상에 도움이 될 것이라 생각된다.
