수확후 품질이 급속히 저하되어 저장력이 약한 단점 때문에 유통기간이 매우 짧은 '쓰가루' 사과를 대상으로 플라스틱 필름과 에틸렌 흡착제 첨가에 따른 MAP(modified atmosphere packaging)의 품질유지 효과를 비교하였다. 필름 포장내의 와 함량은 포장 후 4~6일 후 까지 급격히 변화하였고, 에틸렌 농도도 밀봉 직후 급격히 증가하여 저장 4일 후 40 두께의 LDPE 필름 포장구(40LD)에서 2,045 ppm까지 증가한
Modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) technology was applied to ‘Tsugaru’apple (Malus domestica Borkh) in order to extend the shelf-life of apples during distribution. ‘Tsugaru’apples were packed with the PE film of 40 thickness(40LD), the PE film modified by the addition of 5% (w/w) zeolite (40CK), and the PE film bags containing the ethylene absorbent (40LP). Quality indices of ‘Tsugaru’apples during storage at 10 were measured in terms of weight loss, soluble solids content, pH, titratable acidity, flesh firmness, peel color and sensory properties. Oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene concentration in the film bags changed rapidly at the early stage of storage. Weight loss of the control increased up to 3.0% after 60 days storage while those of the packed apples remained less than 0.6%. No significant differences in soluble solids content and titratable acidity could be found in all the treatments, but significant differences in pH between the control and the packed apples. Higher firmness was kept in 40LD and 40LD than other treatments during storage. Color of the peel changed rapidly in control but slowly in 40LD and 40LP. ‘Tsugaru’apples Packed with Packaging films showed a good visual and sensory quality. Results suggest that packaging treatment with LDPE of 40 thickness and ethylene absorbent can be used for extending the shelf-life of ‘Tsugaru’apples during distribution.
