This study was investigated the changes in quality of heat treated fresh-cut lotus roots using various packaging materials. Lotus roots were purchased from Daegu, Korea. Lotus roots were washed, peeled and sliced with a sharp ceramic knife. The prepared peeled and sliced lotus roots were dipped for 45 sec in water at 55℃. After air-dried at room temperature, the slices were packaged with polyethylene films, polyethylene terephthalate tray+wrapping, vacuum packaging and then stored at 4℃. Changes in weight loss, color, firmness, microorganisms and sensory characteristics were measured. In general, the weight loss rate was increased slightly in vacuum packaged lotus roots. Application of heat treatment delayed browning of lotus roots, and especially vacuum packaged lotus roots were the most lowest △E value. However, L and △E value of PE film packaged lotus roots were increased highly during storage. The heat treated and vacuum packaging inhibited the growth of microorganisms effectively. The organoleptic quality of vacuum packaged lotus roots showed the best by sensory evaluation.

천연 갈변저해제 소재를 발굴하기 위하여 민들레와 감국을 열수 및 80% 에탄올로 추출하고, 그 추출물에 대하여 PPO 저해활성과 DPPH radical 소거능, 총페놀 함량 등을 통하여 항산화 효과를 조사하였다. 또한 추출물을 사과슬라이스에 침지하여 외관의 변화를 관찰하였다. 감국 추출물이 민들레 추출물보다 높은 PPO 저해활성을 보였으며 DPPH radical 소거능 그리고 총페놀 함량 등에 대해서 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 각 추출물에 대하여
