Abstract

Potential of consumer unit packaging was investigated for quality maintenance during export simulation in king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii). Mushrooms were harvested in late May, precooled to $4^{\circ}C$ within 6 hours, and then packaged for shipping in two ways: 2 kg bulk packaging in a polyethylene (PE) bag or three types of unit packaging methods such as 400 g in polypropylene film bag (PPB), 200 g on styrofoam tray + PE shrinkage film wrapping (STW), and 200 g in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers (PETC). For local distribution of bulk-packaged commodity, mushrooms were sorted again and packaged into 3 consumer units in the same way as for the initial shipping packages. Simulation of refrigerated container shipping was performed in a walk-in type pilot storage at $0.5^{\circ}C$ for 5 weeks, while local marketing simulation was carried out on the shelf at $7^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. During the shipment simulation, creation of modified atmosphere (MA) was substantial in 2 kg bulk packages with low $O_2$ below 2% and high $CO_2$ over 15% whereas, in PPB and PETC unit packages, relatively higher $O_2$ concentrations were observed. On the shelf at $7^{\circ}C$, $CO_2$ concentrations rapidly increased in PPB and PETC packages despite the short marketing period. Overall marketability evaluated by off-flavor, browning, and texture rating was maintained at excellent level when 2 kg bulk packaging in PE or unit packaging in PPB and PETC were used for shipment. In contrast, establishment of MA was very slight in STW packages during shipment and local distribution resulting in poor quality after export simulation. The results suggested that shipment using adequate consumer unit packaging is more practical and economically beneficial than using bulk packaging in the export program consisting of 5-week shipment and 7-day local distribution.

큰느타리버섯 수출과정에서의 운송 포장방법으로서 현지 판매에 바로 적용할 수 있는 소포장 기술의 적용 가능성을 조사하였다. 5월 하순에 수확하여 $4^{\circ}C$로 예냉한 버섯을 2kg 단위 PE 필름봉지 대포장과 판매용 소포장 3개 방식을 적용한 후 4주 및 5주 모의운송 기간을 거쳤다. 기존의 2kg 대포장 버섯은 운송 후 소포장을 하였고 운송 단계에서부터 소포장을 적용한 버섯은 그 상태로 각각 7일간 저온유통 후 품질을 비교하였다. 소포장 방법은 400g 폴리프로필렌 봉지(PPB), 200g 스티로폼 트레이 + 랩핑(STW) 및 200g PET용기(PETC) 포장으로 구분하였다. 운송 조건은 $0.5^{\circ}C$로 설정한 소형 저장실에서 수행하였고 현지 저온유통은 $7^{\circ}C$로 설정한 저온 챔버를 활용하여 모의하였다. 모의 운송 중 포장 내부 MA 환경은 2kg 봉지 대포장의 경우 $O_2$ 2% 이하 + $CO_2$ 10% 이상으로써 장해 발생이 우려되는 수준까지 조성된 반면, PPB, PETC 소포장 운송 시에는 $O_2$ 농도가 상대적으로 높은 경향이었고 STW 소포장에서는 MA 조성 효과가 미미하였다. 유통 7일간 적용한 소포장의 내부 MA 환경은 짧은 기간임에도 불구하고 PPB, PETC 포장에서 $CO_2$ 농도가 매우 높은 수준으로 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 이취, 갈변 정도를 반영한 전반적인 상품성은 2kg 대포장 운송 후 현지에서 재선별을 거쳐 소포장을 하는 방식과 운송초기부터 PPB, PETC 소포장 방식을 적용한 경우 모두에서 우수 수준 이상의 품질이 유지되었고 처리 간 뚜렷한 차이는 없었다. 다만, MA 조성 효과가 낮았던 STW 포장에서는 품질 저하가 빠르게 진행되어 운송 포장으로는 부적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 현장 적용 시 작업 효율과 안정적인 품질유지를 고려할 때, 큰느타리버섯의 5주 운송 + 현지유통 7일로 설정한 수출과정에서 운송에 적합한 포장방법으로는 기존 방식인 $30{\mu}m$ PE 2kg 대포장 방식보다는 $30{\mu}m$ PP 필름 백이나 PET 용기 소포장 방식이 보다 실용적인 것으로 판단되었다.
