Effect of Non-perforated Breathable Films on the Shelf Life and Quality of Ferulae Mushroom (Pleurotus ferulae) during MA Storage at Different Temperatures
본 실험은 다양한 저장온도 조건에서 아위버섯에 적합한 MAP용 포장재 구명을 위해 수행하였다. 저장중 생체중 감소는 저장온도가 낮을수록 적었는데, 모든 온도 처리(1, 8, 24℃)에서 저장 종료일까지 1.5% 이하로 낮았다. 1저장에서는 산소투과율이 1,300cc/m2·day·atm 인 필름 처리구가 가장 큰 저장수명(42일)을 보였으며 저장중 포장내 산소/이산화탄소의 대기조성 조건도 가장 적합한 MA조건인 5%/15% 수준이었으나, 높은 에틸렌 농도와 이취를 보인 반면 3,000cc 처리구는 1,300cc 처리구와 비슷한 대기조성 조건을 갖추고 낮은 에틸렌 농도과 이취를 보였다. 따라서 1℃에서는 1,300cc와 3,000cc 필름이 적합하였다. 저장중 대기조성이 필름처리간 차이가 없었던 8℃ 저장에서는 에틸렌 농도가 두 번째로 낮았고 외관상 품질이 가장 높아 저장수명이 19일로 가장 길었던 3,000cc 필름이 적합하였다. 저장 온도가 높아 호흡이 급격히 빨라져 극도의 CA 조건이 만들어졌던 25℃에서는 외관상 품질에서 가장 양호하였던 1,300cc 필름으로 적합하였다. 또한 온도별 저장수명이 25℃에 비해 8℃는 4배, 1℃는 9배나 연장되어 수확 후 저온유통이 반드시 필요하다고 판단되었다.
This study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of MA packaging material on quality and shelf life of ferulae mushroom (Pleurotus ferulae) at 1, 8, and 24℃ storage temperatures. We found that the fresh weight loss was less than 1.5% in all temperatures (1, 8, and 24℃) and non-perforated breathable films (1,300 cc, 3,000 cc, 5,000 cc, 7,000 cc, 10,000 cc, 15,000 cc, 20,000 cc, and 40,000cc/m2·day·atm oxygen transmission rate) treatments. The proper MA packaging material of ferulae mushroom was 1,300 cc and 3,000 cc films at 1℃ storage. Because 1,300 cc and 3,000 cc films showed proper level, 15% carbon dioxide and 5% oxygen concentration for MA storage, although the shelf life was higher in 1,300 cc (42 days) than 3,000 cc (38 days), and the ethylene concentration as well as off-order showed lower in 3,000 cc than 1,300 cc film. The 3,000 cc film was the most suitable for ferulae mushroom storage at 8℃, because atmosphere composition in package was not statistically significantly different among the film treatments. In addition, 3,000 cc film showed the second low ethylene concentration and the longest shelf-life of 19 days. The ferulae mushroom stored at 25℃ showed a vigorous respiration and resulted in an extreme CA condition in package at 5th day after storage, and showed the highest visual quality in 1,300 cc film. As the shelf life of ferulae mushroom at 1℃ and 8℃ storage were 8 times and 4 times longer than at 25℃ storage respectively, so the ferulae mushroom should be stored and distributed in cold chain system.
