Abstract
This study was carried out in order to develop an economical and convenient way to improve storability of sweet persimmon 'Fuyu'. Natural porous materials (bamboo active carbon, chaff charcoal, and Ge-lite) pouching bags were enveloped in the conventional LDPE (low density polyethylene) package during room temperature and low temperature storage. The changes of soluble solids content, flesh firmness, flavor, decay, and softening of sweet persimmon were investigated in the 1- or 2-week intervals. The LDPE packaging with bamboo active carbon treatment was confirmed to maintain longer storability and higher quality than the LDPE packaging only. This method is expected to be applied to both of conventional and organic farming as an economical and convenient way to improve storability on long term storage and during distribution.
