'신고' 배에서 저장 전 몇 가지를 처리하여 배과피얼룩과 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 2중 봉지 속지색에 따른 배과피얼룩과 발생은 황색지가 청색지 및 적색지에 비하여 현저하게 낮은 발생률을 보였다. 수확 시기별로는 적숙기 보다 7일 전에 수확하여 저온 저장한 처리가 발병률이 낮았으며 과실 품질에는 차이가 없었다. 저장방법에서 칼슘코팅봉지에 넣어 저장한 과실이 PE 봉지 및 알배로 저장한 과실에 비하여 현저하게 발생률이 높았다. 이산화염소 및 칼슘액 침지처리는 무처리 및 증류수 처리에 비하여 발생률이 낮았다. 또한 NaDCC 1,500배액에 침지처리를 하면 발생률이 낮았으며 반점의 크기도 감소되었다. 저장 중 과피얼룩과 발생은 과피의 수분함량(67.7%)이 낮은 과실은 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 적숙기 보다 7일 전에 수확하여 칼슘봉지 씌우기 및 이산화염소, 칼슘용액, NaDCC 침지는 저장중 배과피얼룩과 발생을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.
The effect of pre-storage treatments was investigated to control the occurrence of fruit skin stain in 'Niitaka' pears. The incidence of fruit skin stains was significantly reduced when the fruits were stored in paper bags with a yellow inner color, compared to when they were stored in paper bags with blue and red inner colors. Additionally, the pear fruits that were harvested seven days earlier than their optimum maturity date developed less fruit skin stains in cold storage and retained their quality. Storage in polyethylene (PE) bags did not control the occurrence of fruit skin stains as effectively as did bag-free storage or storage in calcium-coated bags. The dipping of the pear fruits in a chlorine dioxide and calcium solution was highly effective in reducing the fruit skin stains compared to when they were not dipped or when they were dipped only in distilled water. In particular, a 1,500 times diluted solution of sodium dichloroisocyannurate (NaDCC) reduced the incidence of fruit skin stains and the size of the lesions. No stain was observed on the skin of the fruit with a water content lower than 67.7% (w/v) during its storage. In conclusion, packaging pear fruits in bags with an inner calcium coat and dipping them in a chlorine dioxide, calcium, or NaDCC solution can effectively reduce their skin stains during their storage.
