Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of gaseous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) concentration and treatment method for maintaining marketability in strawberries 'Maehyang' for export. After harvesting strawberry colored with $60{\pm}5%$ of the skin, and the gaseous $ClO_2$ was applied as four treatments in the cold store set with $10^{\circ}C$ which were as follows: i) non-treatment (Control), ii) $0.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ for 30 minutes, iii) $0.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ for 30 minutes, and iv) continuously exposed at $0.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ during the storage period. Weight loss, firmness, soluble solids content, color, incidence of gray mold, and quality grade of strawberries were investigated every 3 days during 16 days storage in cold store. The weight loss was consistently high at $0.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;ClO_2$ treatment, and the weight loss was lower than other treatments when gaseous $ClO_2$ was continuously treated. Firmness was significantly higher at 0.2 and $0.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $ClO_2$ treatment on the 13th day of storage. Soluble solids content tended to below in continuous gaseous $ClO_2$ treatment. The colors showed no tendency as affected by concentrations and treatment methods of gaseous $ClO_2$. No gray mold was observed in the continuous gaseous $ClO_2$ treatment until the 13th day of storage. The quality grade was lower in gaseous $ClO_2$ treatment group than in the control. As a result, it was possible to decrease the weight loss and the incidence of gray mold by continuously treating the gaseous $ClO_2$ to strawberry 'Maehyang' for export during the storage period after harvest. However, further research is needed on method to maintain quality grades of fruits.

본 연구는 수출 딸기 '매향'의 상품성 유지를 위한 이산화염소 가스 농도 및 처리 효과를 구명하고자 수행되었다. 과피의 착색이 $60{\pm}5%$로 진행된 딸기를 수확한 후 $10^{\circ}C$로 설정된 저온저장고에서 이산화염소 가스를 무처리(대조구), 0.2와 $0.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 농도에 각각 30분간 노출시킨 처리, 저장기간 동안 이산화염소 가스를 $0.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 농도로 지속적으로 노출시킨 처리로 총 4가지 처리를 수행하였다. 딸기의 무게 손실률, 경도, 당도, 색도, 잿빛곰팡이 발생률, 품질 등급을 저온저장고에 저장하면서 16일간 3일 간격으로 조사하였다. 무게 손실률은 이산화염소 가스 $0.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리에서 지속적으로 높았고, 이산화염소 가스가 지속적으로 처리됐을 때 무게 손실률은 다른 처리들에 비해 낮은 경향을 보였다. 경도는 저장 13일째 이산화염소 가스 0.2와 $0.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리에서 유의적으로 높았다. 당도는 지속적인 이산화염소 가스 처리에서 낮은 경향을 보였다. 색도는 이산화염소 가스 농도 및 처리 방법에 따른 경향성을 보이지 않았다. 지속적인 이산화염소 가스 처리에서 저장 13일째까지는 잿빛곰팡이가 발생하지 않았다. 품질 등급은 이산화염소 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 낮은 경향을 보였다. 결과적으로 수확 후 저장기간 동안 수출 딸기 '매향'에 이산화염소 가스를 지속적으로 처리함으로써 무게 손실률과 잿빛곰팡이 발생률을 감소시킬 수 있었다. 하지만 과실의 품질 등급을 유지시킬 수 있는 방안에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
