지황의 안정적인 저장으로 종근 비용을 절감하고자 재래종과 생육특성이 상이한 지황 1호를 공시하여 저장 후 120일 동안의 저장방법에 따른 종근 특성을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 지황의 저장방법별 온도변화는 움저장에서 7.2∼13.8로 가장 적었고 스치로폼상자내 흙을 충진한 저장에서 높았으며, 습도는 움저장에서 98.2%로 가장 높았다. 당도와 중량 감모율 그리고 부패율은 저장기간이 경과할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 왕겨를 충진한 망사와 스치

This experiment was carried out to investigate the cost reduction of rhizome through the stable storage of Jiwhang #1(Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch). The growth characteristics of Jiwhang #1 are different from those of local Rehmannia glutinosa L. varieties in Korea. Various storage methods was introduced and analyzed for 120 days. Among storage methods, changes in mean daily temperature in storage location were the least from 7.2 to 13.8 in underground storage, while those were wide in styrofoam box filled with soil, and changes in mean daily relative humidity were the highest 98.2% in underground storage. As the storage period increased, the rhizome brix and the rate of rhizome loss and spoiled rhizome increased. The brix and loss rate of rhizome were higher in net sack filled with hull and styrofoam box filled with hull, but the rate of spoiled rhizome was the greatest in underground storage among storage methods. As the storage period increased, the hardness of rhizome epidermis increased, while that of rhizome endodermis decreased.
