The method to characterize the fresh produce respiration was presented with possible application of modified atmosphere package design. Particularly the respiration model based on enzyme kinetics was introduced as function of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations. The method to estimate the equilibrated package atmosphere for any package conditions was presented by incorporation of $O_2$ and $CO_2$ permeabilities of the packaging film. Temperature dependences for fresh produce respiration and gas permeation were given by Arrhenius equation and then used to analyze the effect of temperature on the package atmosphere. An example analysis was presented for better understanding of the concept.

The effects of packaging conditions on freshness extension of cucumber were investigated during 24-day storage temperatures $18^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$. The storage life of cucumbers was influenced by both packaging methods (corrugated cardboard vs EPS box) and temperatures during storage. The fresh weigh, vitamin C content and Chlorophyll of cucumbers were decreased, while yellowing of cucumber peel was increased during storage. The change of vitamin C content was influenced by both packaging method and temperature during storage. The EPS box and low temperature were revealed to be effective treatments to extend the storability or cucumber fruit.

The food cold chain refers to a technology and distribution supply chain applied to maintain a constant temperature suitable for the product from production (harvest) to delivery to consumers. In particular, in Korea, the insulation material used in the food cold chain is mostly EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), which is used as a transport container for various food cold chains. However, according to the government's eco-friendly policy, companies charge environmental contributions to the use of EPS, but due to its low price and convenience of handling, it is still used as a container for delivering food. In this study, in order to measure the domestic delivery environment of general refrigerated foods, changes in impact, temperature, and humidity during transport of the EPS packaging system containing foods and ice pack refrigerants were measured. As a result, there were 2?3 sections in which a high impact force of 40 G or more was generated during transport. This can cause damage to the product and EPS container. The difference in temperature and humidity changes by parcel transport routes is more than 30%, so it is necessary to present accurate standards for the domestic cold chain distribution environment. As a result of microbial experiments. the transportation period had a dominant effect on the increase in total viable count and E. coli count.

현재 급식 외식 업체용으로 유통되고 있는 절단 세척된 신선편이 엽채류 및 조미채소류에 대하여 저장온도와 포장 방법에 따른 미생물학적, 물리, 화학적인 품질변화와 저장 중 변화되는 외관변화를 연구하였다. 본 연구의 대상인 엽채류 및 조미채소류의 품질변화는 신선편이의 농산물의 종류와 온도, 저장기간에 따라 수분함량, 색도, pH 등의 변화에 차이를 보였으며, 특히 10$^{\circ}C$에 저장한 품목들의 변화량이 컸다. 저장온도에 따른 미생물변화에 대한 품질변화 결과, 대장균의 경우 온도에 상관없이 저장기간 동안 검출되지 않았으나 총균수와 대장균군의 경우 4$^{\circ}C$에서 저장하는 동안 대체적으로 낮은 수준으로 유지할 수 있었으며, 10$^{\circ}C$에 저장한 엽채류의 경우 조직의 물러짐이 빠르게 나타나고 형태의 변화가 가속화되어 총균수와 대장균군의 증식이 조미채소류보다 빠른 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 온도에 따른 외관 품질의 변화결과에서는 4$^{\circ}C$에 저장한 것이 물러짐, 흑변현상, 갈변과 황화현상 등이 완만하게 발생하거나 저해되는 경향을 보였고, 10$^{\circ}C$의 경우 호흡률에 의한 진공 풀림, 색 변화 및 이취가 발생함에 따라 4$^{\circ}C$에 비해 품질유지기한이 짧게 나타났다. 그리고 대체로 조미채소류와 엽채류 모두 4$^{\circ}C$에 저장한 것이 10$^{\circ}C$에 저장하는 것보다 최대 3~5일까지 품질을 더 오래 유지할 수 있었다. 포장방법을 달리한 깻잎과 부추의 경우 기공에 따른 대장균과 총균수의 증식 차이는 보이지 않았으며, 포장지의 기공에 의하여 수분의 증발현상이 나타났고, 이에 따라서 수분함량이 감소하고 외관의 변화가 심하게 나타나, 품목에 따른 포장방법에 차이를 두어야 함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 신선편이 농산물은 품목에 따라 저장온도와 포장방법이 품질에 영향을 미치므로 적절한 저장 온도와 포장방법을 유지한다면 품질과 안전성을 동시에 확보하여 품질유지기한을 연장할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

The respiratory characteristics and quality attributes of mature green mume fruits as influenced by modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) conditions during storage at 25oC for 8 days were investigated. The quality attributes of mume fruits were evaluated in terms of fresh weight loss, physiological injury and yellowing. The packaging materials used for MAP were low density polyethylene(LDPE) films with various different thicknesses. Yellowing and fresh weight loss of mume fruits were noticeably reduced by the packaging treatments with LDPE A and B. The physiological injury of the fruits during storage was found to be more severe in LDPE C than others. For LDPE A and B, the oxygen and carbon dioxide contents within the packages of Mume fruits maintained at the levels of 2~3% and 7~8%, respectively. With respect to visual quality, MAP prolonged the shelf life of the fruits much longer compared with the unsealed control. From the experimental results, it is suggested that the LDPE films with the gas trans mission rates of about 2,100 O2 ml/m2.day.atm and 6,700 CO2 ml/m2.day.atm would be proper for MAP of mature green mume fruits during storage at ambient temperature.

본 연구는 수확 후 포도의 저장온도와 포장방법이 품질변화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. $25^{\circ}C$ 상온에 14일 간 저장하면서 품질변화를 조사한 결과 대조구 보다는 20LD, 20CE에 포장한 포도의 품질이 잘 유지되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 포도를 상온 유통시 기존방법과 같이 골판지 상자만을 사용하는 것보다 내포장재를 사용하는 것이 더 신선도 유지에 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is the most commonly used fresh food refrigeration insulation in Korea and Europe. Moreover, as the use of disposable packaging materials has increased significantly along with non-face-to-face delivery services since the COVID-19 crisis, social issues related to waste disposal are also being raised. Therefore, in this study, the life cycle of EPS boxes for fresh food is focused on the factors that have a large difference between incineration and landfill including recycling in Europe and Korea in the disposal process after use, and raw materials and energy in the manufacturing process, which account for a large portion of the environmental impact value. We tried to compare the environmental impact of evaluation. Overall, the raw material production stage, box manufacturing stage, and packaging stage have similar processes in Europe and Korea, but unlike Europe, Korea, which lacks landfills and incineration facilities, has focused on expanding the recycling rate. It was necessary to do an environmental impact assessment. Data affecting the environment were derived based on 2019 and 2020 data for Korea and 2017 and 2020 data for Europe. In order to predict the future environmental impact assessment, assumptions about the disposal rate in 2025 and 2030 were introduced and evaluated. As a result of this study, it was found that the raw material production stage of EPS boxes, which have similar processes in both Korea and Europe, has the greatest effect on the global warming effect of Korean EPS boxes. However, Korea, which has a relatively high recycling rate in the disposal process compared to incineration and landfill, showed better environmental performance than Europe in most impact indicators except freshwater eutrophication. In particular, Korea has increased the overall recycling rate compared to Europe by replacing various recyclable materials such as building materials and sundries with XPS (extruded polystyrene) recycled materials. In conclusion, it was found that increasing the recycling rate rather than incinerating and landfilling EPS boxes for fresh food in the domestic EPS industry has relatively less environmental load compared to Europe.
