본 실험은 바실의 양액재배시 기능성 원소 selenium(Se)을 처리하였을 때 basil의 저장중 품질 변화를 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. European Vegetable R ' B center에서 개발한 허브 배양액 1배액을 사용하여 담액 순환식으로 재배하였으며, Se을 sodium selenate(Na2Se O4)의 형태로 수확 3주전에 2, 4mg. L-1를 양액 내 처리하였다. 10℃에서 40um ceramic film로 PET 상자를 사용하여 MA저장을 15일간 하였다. 바실의 수경재배시 기능성 물질의 첨가가 저장중 품질 변화에 미치는 영향은 다음과 같다. Se 함량은 양액내 처리 농도에 따라 증가하였고 저장 후에도 같은 경향을 나타내었다. 포장재에 따른 휘발량의 차이는 크지않았다. 엽록소와 정유함량은 Se처리에 의해 증가되었다. 정유 함량은 Na2Se O4.4mg. L-1 처리가 저장후 감소율이 가장 적었다. Se 함량은 2mg. L-1처리시 저장전 함량이 112.73ug. g-1DM이었고 저장중 감소량은 50%정도였다. 저장중 품질유지와 소비자가 안전하게 Se를 섭취할 수 있는 적정 농도는 2mg. L-1이며, 40um ceramic film을 이용한 MA저장이 효과적이었다. 이상에서 바실의 양액재배시 Se처리는 작물의 품질 증진 및 저장중 품질 유지에 효과가 인정되었다. 또 Se 휘발에 의한 정유성분의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 또 Se 휘발에 의한 정유성분의 변화는 나타나지 않았다.
The object of this study is to investigate the quality change of sweet basil grown with selenium(Se) in hydroponic culture. Sweet basil was cultured with 1 fold herb nutrient solution as suggested by European vegetable R & D Center in Belgium. Before three weeks harvest, sodium selenate(N a2Se O4) was supplied to 2 and 4 mg. L-1 in the nutrient solution. Sweet basil was stored at 10℃ using 40um ceramic film and PET (polyethylene terephalate) for 15 days in modified atmosphere(MA) storage condition. The weight loss of sweet basil was higher in non-treatment compared to Se treatments in both of two films but it was decreased over 5% in PET treatment. Se concentrations in leaf tissues increased in the response to the treated levels of N a2Se O4concentrations, and this tendency was appeared similar results after storage. There was no significant effect of packing materials on volatilization of Se in sweet basil. The total chlorophyll and essential oil content was increased with increasing N a2Se O4concentration in nutrient solution. The amount of volatilization flavor was not higher at N a2Se O44mg. L-1 treatment compare to others during storage. Se content was 112.73 ug. g-1 dry mass at 2 mg. L-1 treatment before storage and the decrease of Se content was observed by 50% at 15 days after storage. The condition, which N a2Se O42mg. L-1plement in nutrient solution during growth stage and stored with 40um ceramic film on 10℃are acceptable for maintaining of sweet basil quality. Moreover it can be a proper Se concentration for human health. Overall, Se treatment in nutrient solution has effect on promoting and maintaining quality of herb during storage life. Also, there was not significant change of essential oil compounds by volatilization of Se.mpounds by volatilization of Se.
