참외 CA저장시 적정 농도 및 농도를 구명하기 위해 경북 성주산 참외 금싸라기 품종을 공시하여 농도를 5, 10, 15%로 하였고 농도는 3, 10%로 하여 15일, 30일, 45일 동안 각각 저장하여 실험한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 참외 저장후의 부패과율은 농도가 높을수록 낮았으며, 중량감소율은 저장 45일까지도 일반저온저장에서 5.01%, CA저장에서는 1.0%내외로 낮았다. 과육의 경도는 저장 30일까지는 일반저온저장, CA저장 모두 저장전과

Oriental melon was stored in controlled atmospheres(5, 10 or 15% COin combination with 3 or 10% O) and air as control, and was analyzed half monthly during a 45-day storage for various quality Parameters. Oriental melon which stored in CA condition was lower in weight loss and decay rate than that stored in air. There was no significant difference in firmness by COor Oconcentration during a month of storage. Fruits stored in 10% CO+3% Oshowed higher level of soluble solids, Vitamin C content and L value than other condition. And also comparatively lower endogenous ethanol accumulation and better state of quality was observed in that condition.
