생홍고추 및 생홍피망의 장기저장 방법으로 HDPE 및 LDPE포장내에 시료와 함께 서로 다른 양의 NaCl을 삽입함으로써 MA저장 효과를 조사하였다. HDPE 및 LDPE 포장내의 NaCl 함량은 0 g, 15 g, 20 g, 25 g이었으며, 대조구로 무포장이 사용되었다. 홍고추 및 홍피망의 각각 50일 및 35일간 MA저장 동안 주기적으로 중량 변화와 곰팡이 발생율을 조사하였고, 저장 초기와 말기에는 색도와 경도를 측정·비교하였다. NaCl을
The effects of modified atmosphere (MA) storage far fresh red pepper and red bell pepper fruits were investigated with storing in high and few density polyethylene films (HDPE, LDPE) with various NaCl contents(0 g, 15 g, 20 g, 25 g). During the storage of pepper fruits, the weight loss, color change, mold emergence, and firmness were evaluated. The weight loss of pepper fruits packaged in HDPE and LDPE without NaCl was 3∼5%, even though it was 6∼19% in pepper fruits packaged with NaCl. The lutes of mold emergence of red pepper and red bell pepper fruits were lowered to 20∼45% as stored in HDPE and LDPE with NaCl but those of fruits stored in films without NaCl were high as 55∼65%. The color and firmness of pepper fruits were not much changed in comparison with those of non-packaged fruits as stored in HDPE and LDPE with or without NaCl.
