본 연구에서는 독숙기와 성숙기의 감 과실에 외부 에서 에틸렌()을 처리하였을 때 처리시간에 따라 과실의 경도, 에틸렌 발생량, 세포벽 성분의 변 화 그리고 세포벽 팩틴의 주사슬을 형성하는 polyuuronide(PU) 및 곁사슬을 형 성하는 polysaccharide (PS)의 가용화와 분해가 어떻게 달라지는지를 알고저 하였다. 에틸렌을 처리하였을 때 녹숙기와 성숙기 감 모두 처리 시간이 경과될 수록 과실의 경도가 급격히 감 소하였으며, 감소의

This study was carried out to investigate changes in the flesh firmness, evolution of ethylene, cell wall components, and degradation and solubilization of polyuronide(PU) and polysaccharide(PS) in green(GP) and mature persimmon(MP) fruits according to testing time of ethylene(50ㆍL ). When ethylene was treated in GP and MP, flesh firmness rapidly decreased and it was decreased more GP than MP. When ethylene were treated for 12 hours in GP, production of ethylene began after 3 days. The amount of ethylene product was maximum 16,000 ㆍL at 24 hours of ethylene treatment. However, ethylene was not producted until 7 days after 24 hours ethylene treatment at MP. The content of pectic substances decreased in the distilled- water, 0.05M CO,4M and 8M KOH-soluble fractions during softening according to increasing time of ethylene treatment. Arabinose and galactose were the major non-cellulosic neutral sugars in the 0.05M CDTA and 0.05M CO-soluble pectic fractions. Glucose, galactose and xylose were the major non-cellulosic neutral sugars in the 4M KOH- soluble hemicellulosic fraction. High molecular of PU and PS were degraded and solubilized in the distilled-water, 0.05M CDTA 0.05M CO and 4M KOH-soluble fractions during time of ethylene treatment.
