  • 편의와 fresh-like quality를 선호하는 소비 경향에 맞추어 가공한 fresh-cut사과의 선도 연장을 위한 저해제를 탐색하였다. 실험에 사용된 사과는 박피하여 속심을 제거한 사과를 8조각으로 절단하여 저해제에 3분간 침지한 후 물기를 제거하고 각각 LDPE 포장지에 포장하여 실온에서 저장하면서 colorimeter와 rheometer를 이용하여 색도와 물성을 측정하였다. 저해제로는 1% ascorbic acid, citric acid, NaCl, MgCl$_2$, CaCl$_2$, KCl, CaSO$_4$, MgSO$_4$, $Na_2$SO$_4$, oxalic acid, calcium lactate, calcium citrate를 사용하였으며 천연저해제로는 건칡, 맥문동, 목향, Rhubarb, 당귀, 오약, 시체, 지각, 천문동, 청피, 계피, 구기자, 당귀, 진피, 감초, 녹차, 후추 등을 열수추출하여 사용하였다. 물리적인 변화는 시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하는 추세를 보였으며 일부 건조로 인해 texture의 증가를 나타내기도 했다. 처리에 따른 물리적인 변화로는 CaCl$_2$, NaSO$_4$, Cl, 시금치를 처리하였을 때 그 변화가 가장 작았으나 시금치의 경우 시금치로 인한 사과의 색변화로 관능적으로 좋지 않았다. 한약재는 목향, 당귀, 지각, 계피를 처리하였을 때 물리적인 변화가 가장 작았으나 시금치와 마찬가지로 처리 초기에 한약재 자체의 향과 색으로 인하여 관능적으로 좋지 못한 결과를 나타냈다. 갈변 정도를 나타내는 ΔE의 변화는 KCl과 CaCl$_2$, CaSO$_4$를 처리한 구에서 변화가 가장 작았으며 한약재를 처리하였을 경우 당귀, 천문동을 처리한 구에서 효과를 보였다. oxalic acid는 갈변저해에는 효과적이었으나 시간이 경과함에 따라 수분의 용출이 증가하였으며 물성의 변화도 컸다. 또한 ZnCl$_2$를 처리한 구에서는 이취 발생과 수분 용출이 컸으며 색의 변화도 컸다.

  • Red radish seeds were irradiated at doses up to 8 kGy using electron beam (e-beam) and gamma ray ($\gamma$-ray). The seed viability and functional properties (carotenoid, chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, and total phenol) of sprouts grown from these irradiated seeds were evaluated. High germination percentage ($\geq$97%) was observed in seeds irradiated at $\leq$5 kGy, but the yield ratio and sprout length significantly decreased with increased irradiation dose. Irradiation at $\geq$6 kGy resulted in curling of the sprout roots. Sprouting enhanced the functional properties of red radish seeds as indicated by the increased carotenoid, chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, and total phenol contents during germination. However, radiation treatment hampered the growth of seeds resulting in underdeveloped sprouts with decreased carotenoid, chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, and total phenol contents. In general, e-beam and $\gamma$-ray irradiation of red radish seeds showed similar effects on the seed viability and functional properties of sprouts. Postharvest storage reduced the functional quality of sprouts.

  • Paddy rice is typically stored during postharvest until rice grain is processed into brown rice and milled rice by hulling and milling procedure, respectively. Recently, instead of storing paddy rice, storage of brown rice has been in the spotlight because it is more convenient and economically feasible. Different brown rice cultivars with varying amylose contents including waxy rice, medium-waxy rice, and non-glutinous rice were stored in room temperature storage for four months, and the changes in grain qualities of brown rice were evaluated. Amylose content significantly affected pasting properties in which rice cultivar with higher amylose content showed longer pasting time and higher peak viscosity. Storage also affected pasting viscosities, showing an increase in peak viscosity, but a decrease in breakdown viscosity. The changes in pasting viscosity during storage could be an important starch property for aged brown rice utilization. Waxy brown rice showed the weakest aging property in terms of free fatty acids (FFA) accumulation, whereas non-glutinous rice was more substantial grain quality against aging. The FFA values of two months storage were not significantly different from the initial FFA contents, suggesting that brown rice stored in room temperature for two months could be feasible for direct consumption of brown rice.

  • The quality of fresh jujube (Zizyphus jujuba) fruit rapidly declines in the postharvest stage and thus the effective storage conditions for agricultural warehouses were investigated in this study. Fresh jujubes (~10 kg) were stored using five different storage methods: plastic box without further packaging as a control (C-PL), plastic box with hanji packaging (H-PL), plastic box with functional film packaging (F-PL), cardboard box with hanji packaging (H-CB), and cardboard box with functional film packaging (F-CB). The storage boxes were stored in a refrigerator ($0^{\circ}C$ and 80~90% RH), equipped with an ethylene gas scavenging device for 9 weeks and then the quality characteristics were analyzed. The control storage conditions of jujubes showed a substantial decline in quality with decreases in moisture content, hardness, and sugar content as well as increases in decay ratio and redness. Among the tested storage conditions, F-CB was most effective in terms of maintaining the quality of jujube fruit while maintaining firmness, weightlessness, ripening degree from redness and visible appearance. In conclusion, effective storage and packaging conditions during storage enabled maintenance of fruit quality of jujubes for 9 weeks.

  • Change in Quality properties of the Kochujang Prepared with the powder of Paecilomyces japonica and extract of p. japonica by different solvents were investigated during 90 days of fermentation at 20$^{\circ}C$. The moisture content was not significantly different, pH of Kochuiang made with p. japonica was lower than control group and decreased continuously according to the fermentation time. Amino nitrogen continuously increased till 60 days and decreased slightly on 90 days. Amino nitrogen of Kochujang made with P. japonica was higher than control group and was highest on 30 days and 60 days by 179.2mg% and 282.2mg% respectively. Value of L, a, b in Color decreased with proportion to fermentation period and L, a, b value of Kochujang made with P. japonica was lower and in particular that of Kochujang made with P. japonica powder was lowest. from the result of sensory evaluation test, the color of control group was similar to“clear red”but that of Kochojang made with powder of P. japonica was close to“dark reddish brown”and that of Kochujang made with extract of P. japonica was darker than that of control group and the preference of dark color was low. Texture was“glossy and smooth”in all and preference was high. In salty taste, the Kochujang by P. japonica addition was stronger and Kochujang made with extract was stronger than that made with powder. In hot taste, the Kochujang made with P. japonica was weaker than control group and the Kochujang made with P. japonica was scored higher in flavor than control group and Kochujang made with powder of P. japonica was the highest in score. In overall preference, the Kochujang made with P. japonica was better than control group like the result of flavor but expecially Kochujang made with water extract of P. japonica among the extract was best one unlike the result of flavor.

  • This study was conducted to investigate optimal harvesting stage and the effects on cut roses of Korean cultivar harvested at different stages. Cut roses are harvested at three different flowering stages. The optimal harvesting stage of cut roses was different depending on varieties. The vase life of standard type 'Pink Song' and spray type 'Peace One' was extended when they were harvested in one and three stages, respectively. The vase life was generally increased when the cut roses were pretreated with a solution containing 2% sucrose + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ aluminum sulfate + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $Mg(NO_3)_2$ + $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $CaCl_2$ as compared to the control regardless of the harvesting stage. And this pretreatment solution improved the flower quality of cut roses bred in Korea. But the effects of pretreatment were varied depending on the harvesting stage.

  • This research was to examine the differences in post-harvest quality of melons depending on the harvest time after fruit setting. Musk melon cultivar 'K3' plants were grown in glass house conditions with a hydroponic system, and the fruits were harvested at 50, 60, and 70 days after fruit setting. The post-harvest characteristics of melons stored at 7℃ were measured over 32 days. The harvested fruits at 50, 60, 70 days after fruit setting did not differ significantly in weight, height, or size. Solid sugar content was highest in the fruits harvested at 70 days after fruit setting, but firmness, L* value, and respiration rate were highest in the fruits harvested at 50 days after fruit setting. When the harvested melons were stored at 7℃, 'K3' melons responded differently according to the harvest days after fruit setting. The major changes during storage of 'K3' melons can be summarized as follows: Firmness, respiration, moisture content, and general appearance index during storage were highest in the melons harvested at 50 days after fruit setting, but soluble solid content, fresh weight loss, and sensory evaluation were high in the melons harvested at 60 and 70 days after one. During storage at 7℃, there were no significant differences in the appearance of 'K3' melons harvested at different periods after fruit setting, but difference in soluble solid content and taste were noted. It is recommended that the fruit of 'K3' melon plants be harvested about 60 days after fruiting to provide consumers with the highest quality for taste and for storage.

  • This study was designed to examine whether 'Hongro' apples packaged with natural calcium-coated package papers was fresher maintained than fruit held in not-packaged tray, and whether postharvest physiology of the fruits was affected by calcium-coated papers, or not. The summarized results were as follows; Soluble solids contents and firmness of fruit were higher room temperature(20~25℃) after 4 week and 14 week in cold storage(0~1℃) by calcium-coated package papers. but total acid contents in juice and Hunter a value of peel were trended to decrease in room temperature and cold storage. Weight loss of fruit, decay fruit and CO2 evolution were decreased by calcium and wax-coated package papers in room temperature storage condition. Also, excellent fruits increased. Ethylene evolution in fruit were not different by package paper and storage condition.

  • This study was conducted to compare the postharvest physiological characteristics of 2 paprika cultivars; 'Special', 'Fiesta' grown in 2 regions: Chuncheon(plain region) and Hwacheon(semi-high land region), and by 2 cultural methods; soil and hydroponic(rock wool culture). Respiratory rate of paprika fruit was higher in soil culture, and ethylene production was higher in Chuncheon region of both cultivars. As the thickness of fruit flesh showed thicker in Hwacheon region and hydroponic culture, the firmness of fruit was in proportion to thickness. Vitamin C content was higher in red-cultivar, 'Special'. and in Chuncheon region. Soluble solids was higher in 'Special', but there was no different between cultural regions. The fruit of both cultivars was grown smaller in Chuncheon region, and the fruit shape of 'Fiesta' progressed faster in soil culture. The surface color of fruit was higher in Hwacheon, and although there was no significantly different between cultural method, both cultivars grown by hydroponics was shown vivid color. As above results, for the long term circulation and high quality of fruit, paprika may be cultivated by hydroponics in high-altitude region.
