EPS 포장상자가 도마토를 포장시 기존의 골판지 상자에 비해 어느정도 신선도 유지효과 기능이 있는지의 여부를 분석하고 일반적인 MA 포장재인 LDPE 포장과도 비교하고자 도마토를 포장하여 에 저장하면서 골판지상자와 0.02와 0.04mm 두께의 LDPE 필름, EPS 상자로 포장한 것들과 신선도 유지효과를 비교하였다. 저장 7일 후 중량감소는 대조구는 5.9%, EPS 상자는 1.1%의 중량감소가 나타났고, 비타민C도 EPS 포장구가 대조구 보다

This study was measured weight loss, total ascorbic acids, titratable acidity and soluble solids contents to investigate the effect of EPS(expended polystrene foam) box, double wall corrugated paperboard box and LDPE film pouches during storage at 25oC. The rate of weight loss was 5.9% in corrugated paperboard box after 7 days, but those of 20LD, 40LD film and EPS box were 1.1, 1.0, and 1.1% , respectively. Total ascorbic acid content of EPS box was 20% higher than that in corrugated paperboard box, but the obvious differents were not observed among the LDPE film pouches and EPS box. The titratable acidity was decrease during storage, but total soluble solids content was increase. Overall appearences of LDPE pouches and EPS box were better than those of corrugated paperboard box.
