마늘의 수확 후 줄기 및 뿌리의 절단이 마늘의 저장 중 물리, 화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 무안산(스페인산)과 의성산(재래종), 남해산(중국산) 마늘을 각각 1cm, 3cm, 5cm의 줄기를 남기고 절단한 것과 뿌리를 1cm 이내로 절단한 것과 절단하지 않은 처리구에 대하여 2 저장온도에서 8개월의 저장기간동안 중량감소율, 부패율, 발아율, 전당, 환원당 및 피루빅산의 함량 변화를 분석하였다. 실험결과 줄기 길이가 긴 처리구 일수
Physicochemical properties of garlic bulb during storage with different cutting treatments were estimated. Garlic harvested in early June was used in this experiments. Various physicochemical factors of garlic bulb such as weight loss rate, rotten rate, sprouting rate, moisture content, reducing sugar content and total pyruvate content were investigated. Bulbs with roots, bulb without roots and bulb with stem length of l cm, 3 cm, 5 cm were stored at 2 for eight months. The weight loss increased sharply after 8 months for all treatments. Weight loss occurred most severely in treated garlics with bulbs with 5 cm stem length and progressed steadily at low rates in bulbs with 1 cm stem length. Also, less decay and internal sprouting were observed in bulbs with 1 cm stem length. Cutting treatments of roots were not significant for internal sprouting. Incidence of other chemical properties of bulbs, contents of total sugar, reducing sugar and pyruvic acid were not significant statistically. Moisture contents of treated garlics was remarkably reduced in longer leaving stems. As a result, top-clipped leaving stems fur long, seemed to have a beneficial effect on physicochemical properties of garlic stored at 2 for 8 months possibly due to reduced weight loss, rotten decaying and sprouting rates. Utilization of such results in the processing industry can be effective.
