Abstract

This study was conducted to determine effects of precooling and storage methods on asparagus spears' quality such as changes of fresh weight and color during simulated export distribution. Two types of precooling methods, air cooling and hydrocooling, were applied prior to packaging by comparing with no precooling as a control. Asparagus spears were packed with oxygen transmission rate (OTR) film for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and perforated (PF) film for a conventional packaging. All treatments were stored at $8^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours, and subsequently at $4^{\circ}C$ by final storage day, which is simulated distribution temperature condition from Yanggu, Korea to Shimonoseki, Japan. The half cooling time was 12 minutes for air cooling and 15 seconds for the hydrocooling, indicating precooling process of asparagus spears faster with the hydrocooling. Rates of respiration and ethylene production were lowest with hydrocooling. Fresh weight loss was higher, approximately 11%, at the control condition in conventional storage, compared with the MAP, less than 0.5%. Carbon dioxide and oxygen content in the MAP was in the permissible ranges for asparagus spears under recommended CA/MA conditions under both the air cooling and hydrocooling. Ethylene content in the film package was lower with the precooling treatment. Firmness of stems was lowest with the hydrocooling prior to the MAP. Visual quality, off-odor, and hue angle value were best with hydrocooling prior to the MAP. In conclusion, the combination of hydrocooling with the MAP is effective in preserving quality during the export distribution process.

본 연구는 아스파라거스의 모의 수출 온도 조건에서 예냉 처리 및 MA 포장이 생체중 감소 및 색 변화와 같은 품질 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 예냉 처리는 공랭식, 수랭식, 그리고 대조구인 예냉 무처리를 두었다. MA 포장은 산소투과도가 $10,000cc{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}{\cdot}atm^{-1}$ OTR 필름을 사용하였고 유공 필름(관행 처리)으로 포장한 대조구를 두었다. 모든 처리는 양구에서 일본의 시모노세키까지 수출 시 모의 유통 온도 조건을 적용하여 $8^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 처리 후 저장 종료일까지 $4^{\circ}C$로 두었다. 아스파라거스의 예냉은 수랭식에서 빠르게 진행되었는데, 반 냉각 시간은 공랭식에서 12분, 수랭식에서 15초였다. 예냉 처리 후 호흡률과 에틸렌 발생률은 수랭식에서 가장 낮았다. 저장 중 생체중 감소율은 관행 저장 예냉 무처리에서 약 11%로 가장 높았고, MA 포장에서는 모든 처리가 0.5% 미만이었다. 포장 내 이산화탄소와 산소 농도는 공랭식과 수랭식에서 아스파라거스의 적정 CA/MA 조건을 유지하였다. 필름 포장 내 에틸렌 농도는 예냉 처리에서 낮았다. 줄기의 경도는 MA 포장의 수랭식에서 가장 낮았다. 외관상 품질, 이취, 그리고 hue angle 값은 MA 포장의 수랭식에서 가장 우수하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 수랭식 및 MA 포장의 복합 처리는 수출 유통 과정에서 품질 유지에 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.
