Abstract
This study tested customer preferences for "Fuji" apples stored using functional modified atmosphere film (30m) for 16 weeks at $0^{\circ}C$. Customers were 20-60 years of age and lived in either Seoul or Geochang. The freshness, texture, chewiness, and purchase attractiveness of apples in film packaging were judged to be significantly higher than control apples by those aged 20-29 years. The freshness, sourness, flavor, and purchase attractiveness of apples in film packaging were judged to be significantly higher than control apples by those aged 30-39 years. The flavor and sweetness of apples in film packag ing were judged to be significantly higher than control apples by those aged either 40-49 or 50-59 years (${\alpha}=0.05$). In the overall preference tests, apple freshness (P=0.0011), apple flavor (P=0.0002), and apple purchase attractiveness (P=0.0018) of apples in film packaging were judged to be significantly better than control apples by all age groups (those aged 20-59 years).
