Abstract
Optimal storage conditions were investigated for 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits and cucumbers were stored under conditions of 70% relative humidity(RH) at 25$^{\circ}C$, 80% RH at l0$^{\circ}C$ and 90% at 5$^{\circ}C$ or l0$^{\circ}C$ of relative humidity, respectively and their qualities in microbial counts, decay ratio, surface color difference and chemical attributes were monitored during the storage period. 'Fuyu'persimmon fruits and cucumbers stored under 90% of relative humidity showed the minimal change in weight loss, decrease of ascorbic acid content, surface color difference and decay by putrefactive microorganisms. As the results of this experiment, 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits and cucumberf stored under 9% of relative humidity were best fer maintaining their freshness.
