In this study, changes in the quality and headspace O2/CO2 concentrations of cubed radish (Raphanus sativus L.) kimchi (CR-kimchi) packaged using multilayer airtight film (MAF), half-area breathable film (HABF), partial area breathable film (PABF), and one-way degassing valve-mounted film (ODVF) were investigated during storage under altering temperature conditions. The total lactic acid bacteria count in CR-kimchi samples stored for 6 days at 0℃, followed by 8 days at 6oC, increased to 7.8-7.9 log CFU/g, regardless of the packaging. The titratable acidity of the CR-kimchi samples increased to 0.6-0.7% during storage at 0oC for 6 days and then at 6oC for 8 days; it was maintained at 0.6-0.8% for 32 days of storage at 3oC. After 46 days of storage, the reduced sugar content of CR-kimchi packaged using MAF, HABF, PABF, and ODVF decreased to 26.8-30.3 mg/g, indicating no significant (p>0.05) differences. However, during storage, headspace CO2 concentration and film volume were lower in the HABF treatment than in the control, PABF, and ODVF treatments, indicating that HABF packaging combined with supercooled (3oC) storage can extend the optimal ripening period of CR-kimchi without packaging expansion during storage.

최근 메틸브로마이드를 이용한 훈증소독 검역처리 기술의 오존층파괴 문제로 인하여 사용이 감소함에 따라 이온화 방사선 조사 기술이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구는 수출용 새송이 버섯에 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 및 3kGy의 감마선 조사 후 저장기간(0, 7, 14, 21, 및 28일) 동안 버섯의 품질에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 새송이 버섯의 경도 변화를 측정한 결과, 비조사구의 경우 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 급격히 감소한 반면 감마선 조사에 의하여 경도의 감소폭이 유의적으로 줄어들었다. 색도 변화 역시 감마선 조사에 의하여 저장기간 중 발생하는 새송이 버섯의 갈변이 저해되는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 수분함량, 수분활성도, 및 중량손실율의 경우 저장기간에 따른 조사구와 비조사구간에 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 3 kGy 이하의 감마선 조사를 통하여 새송이 버섯의 저장 품질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The quality characteristics of ‘Xiangshui’ pears (Pyrus ussuriensis) treated with different concentrations of biomass pyrolysis liquid (BPL) during storage at 25℃ were investigated. The weight of ‘Xiangshui’ pears treated with BPL declined at a slower rate than that of the control. The rot index of BPL-treated ‘Xiangshui’ pears decreased with increasing storage times, and treatment with 20-fold-diluted BPL resulted in the lowest rot index after storage for 12 days. The total acid content of ‘Xiangshui’ pears treated with 20-fold-diluted BPL was 0.19%, and was the highest after storage for 12 days. After storage for 12 days, the total sugar content of ‘Xiangshui’ pears treated with 20-fold-diluted BPL was 7.19%; this was significantly higher than that of the control, but not significantly different from that of pears treated with other BPL dilutions. The vitamin C content of ‘Xiangshui’ pears showed a decreased trend, and pears treated with 20-fold-diluted BPL had a vitamin C content of 2.21 mg/100 g after storage for 12 days and showed the least decline compared to other treatments. In addition, respiration in ‘Xiangshui’ pears was effectively inhibited by treatment with BPL. In conclusion, BPL treatment exerts a protective effect on the quality of ‘Xiangshui’ pears during storage, with 20-fold-diluted BPL being the most effective.
