어린잎 채소는 조직이 연하고 부드러워 가공, 포장, 유통시에 물리적인 상해를 받기 쉬우며 수확 후 수분증발 및 성분 변화 등으로 품질이 급격히 저하된다. 본 연구는 어린잎 채소 중에서 다채의 수확 후 생리특성을 구명하고 적정 포장방법을 개발하고자 수행하였다. 공시재료는 연구소 온실에서 2007년 1월 29일에 다채 종자를 플러그 트레이에 파종하여 30일 정도 키운 다채를 사용하였으며, 수확 후 에서 12시간 예냉 처리한 후 P-plus 필름,
Commercially produced 'baby leaves' of Brassica campestris var. narinosa (Chinese cabbage) were used in the present study. Baby leaf vegetables were sown on 128 cell plug trays and harvested 30 days after sowing. For mechanical stress experiments, seedlings were thinned to three per cell, selected for uniformity, and watered at the base. Trays were treated with mechanical stress by stroking back and forth 50 times, using a sheet of A4 paper folded to double thickness. Plants were treated between 12:00 and 14:00 daily for 15-20 days. Harvested baby leaf vegetables were packed in MAP salad bags made of P-plus film, polypropylene (PP) film, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) boxes. Fresh weight was well-maintained under P-plus and PP film on storage at . However, loss of fresh weight occurred quickly in PET boxes, and vegetable quality deteriorated rapidly. Stressed leaves were smaller but thicker, with an increased dry weight ratio. We thus suggest that P-plus or PP film is most appropriate packing for marketing of baby leaf vegetables, which should be stored at . Our data on baby leaf vegetables also make a significant new contribution in that we demonstrate a positive effect of stress touching on baby leaf processability.
