Abstract

To maintain the quality of sweet persimmon during storage, the samples were treated with a combination of 50 ppm $ClO_2$ and 0.1% fumaric acid after harvest, packaged with low density polyethylene film, and stored at $1{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 35 days. The combined treatment reduced the populations of total aerobic bacteria, yeast and molds by 1.82 and 2.07 log CFU/g, respectively, compared to the control. During storage, hardness of all samples decreased, but total soluble solids and weight loss were not significantly different among treatments. In addition, high-quality dehydrated sweet persimmon was prepared using red algae extract as a dehydrating agent. The rehydration ratio and vitamin C content of red algae extract-treated sample were greater than those of hot-air dried sample. These results suggest that the combined treatment of $ClO_2$ and fumaric acid can be useful for maintaining microbiological safety of sweet persimmon during storage and dehydration of sweet persimmon slices using red algae extract is an efficient drying method for the preparation of high-quality dehydrated sweet persimmon.

수확 후 단감의 미생물학적 안전성을 확보하기 위해 50 ppm 이산화염소수와 0.1% 푸마르산 병합처리하고 LDPE film으로 포장한 후 저온 저장 중 품질 변화를 측정하였다. 단감의 총 호기성 세균과 효모 및 곰팡이 수는 병합처리가 대조구와 비교해 각각 1.82, 2.07 log CFU/g의 감균 효과를 나타냈으며 이러한 효과는 저장 35일 동안 유지되었다. 단감의 경도는 모든 처리구가 저장 중 감소하는 추세를 보였으나 당도와 중량감소율은 저장 35일간 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 또한 홍조류 추출물을 이용하여 건조한 단감 절편은 열풍건조에 비해 높은 복원율을 보였고, 비타민 C 함량도 183 mg/100 g으로 열풍건조보다 높은 함량을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구결과, 수확 후 단감의 병합 세척 처리 후 LDPE film으로 포장한 저온 저장 방법이 저장 중 단감의 품질을 유지하는 효과적인 기술이라 생각되며, 홍조류 추출물을 이용한 단감 절편의 건조는 고품질의 건조 단감을 생산할 수 있는 효율적인 건조 방법이라고 판단된다.
