Abstract

This study was conducted to compare the quality of baby leaves grown under several temperature conditions and the storage properties of MA storage for romaine lettuce. It was grown for 5 weeks under an artificial light source (200 µmol·m-2·s-1) in a chamber at 21℃, 28℃, and 35℃. The growth and quality of red romaine lettuce that grown in different temperatures were investigated at the end of cultivation, and the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethylene concentrations in the 20,000 cc OTR film and perforated film packed with lettuces were measured for 36 and 12 days, respectively. The red romaine lettuce baby leaf was examined for color, chlorophyll, and visual quality at the end of storage. The maximum quantum yield of baby leaf grown in different temperatures at 7days before the harvest was higher at 21℃ and 28℃ growth temperature treatments. On harvest day, the leaf length measured was longest at 28℃, and the leaf width was wider at 21℃ and 28℃, and the number of leaves was similar to 5-6 at all cultivation temperatures. Leaf weight, root weight, and dry weight were found to be higher at 21℃, and tended to decrease as the cultivation temperature increased. The concentration of ethylene in the film of the MA storage treatments was maintained at 1~2 µL·L-1 until the end of storage in all treatments regardless of the cultivation temperature. Oxygen concentration in the MA treatment used 20,000 OTR film was maintained at around 19.5%, and carbon dioxide concentration around 1% that was satisfied the CA conditions. Both Hunter a* and b* values were generally higher in the MA storage treatment at the end of storage day. The chlorophyll content was decreased as the cultivation temperature increased, and was lower in the MA storage treatment than in the perforated film treatment. Visual quality was 3 points or higher in the MA storage treatment at 21℃ growth treatment, and it was maintained marketability. As the above results, the growth of baby leaves of romaine lettuce was the best at 21℃ treatment, and the lower the cultivation temperature, the longer the shelf life. And it was possible to extend the shelf life by 3 times by showing excellent visual quality at the MA storage treatment that satisfies the carbon dioxide concentration of CA condition until the end of storage day.

본 연구는 로메인 상추를 대상으로 몇 가지 온도 조건에서 재배된 어린잎의 품질과 MA 저장 시 저장성을 비교하고자 수행하였다. 21℃, 28℃, 그리고 35℃ 챔버 내에서 인공광원(200 µmol·m-2·s-1) 하에 5주간 재배되었다. 재배 종료일에 생육 및 품질조사를 진행하였고, 20,000cc OTR 필름과 유공필름으로 각각 36일, 12일간 저장하며 필름 내 산소, 이산화탄소, 그리고 에틸렌 농도를 측정하였다. 그리고 저장 종료일에 엽색, 엽록소, 외관상 품질을 조사하였다. 재배 종료일의 엽장은 28℃ 재배구가 가장 길었고, 엽폭은 21℃와 28℃ 재배구가 넓었다. 엽수는 모든 재배온도에서 5~6장으로 유사하였고, 최대 양자수율은 21℃와 28℃ 재배구가 높았다. 엽중, 근중, 건물중은 21℃가 높았고, 재배온도가 올라갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 호흡률과 에틸렌 발생률은 35℃가 높았고, 재배온도가 낮아질수록 감소하였다. 저장 중 생체중 감소율은 모든 MA 저장 처리구는 저장 종료일인 36일까지 1% 미만이었고, 모든 유공필름 처리구는 저장 후 급격히 증가하여 저장 종료일인 12일째에 12~15%의 높은 감소율을 보였다. MA 저장 처리구의 필름 내 에틸렌 농도는 재배온도와 관계없이 모든 처리구가 저장 종료일까지 1~2 µL·L-1의 농도를 유지하였다. 필름 내 산소 농도는 19.5% 내외, 이산화탄소는 1% 내외의 농도를 유지하며 모든 MA 저장 처리구가 CA 조건에 부합하였다. 저장 종료일의 엽색은 Hunter a*, b* 값 모두 대체로 MA 저장 처리구에서 높았다. 엽록소 함량은 재배온도가 올라갈수록 낮아지고, 유공필름 처리구와 비교해 MA 저장 처리구에서 낮았다. 패널테스트를 통한 외관상 품질은 21℃ MA 저장 처리구에서만 상품성 한계점인 3점 이상이었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, 로메인 상추 어린잎은 21℃에 재배할 때 최대 양자수율이 높아 생체중 등의 생육이 좋았으며, 재배 중 온도환경이 낮을수록 저장수명이 연장되었다. 또한 저장 방법으로는 CA 조건의 이산화탄소 농도를 충족시킨 MA 저장처리에서 저장 종료일까지 우수한 외관상 품질을 보여 저장수명을 3배까지 연장할 수 있었다.
