본 연구는 2015년과 2016년에 ‘상주둥시’ 감의 수확시기 를 달리하여 수확 후 PE필름, 1-MCP 및 AVG를 처리가 저온저장동안 과실의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 2016년 과실 수확시기는 2015년에 비하여 10일 빠른 조기 수확을 실시하였다. 과실의 에틸렌 발생 정도는 조기수확 한 과실들에서 현저히 낮았고, 과실의 경도는 저온저장동안 1-MCP 처리구들이 다른 처리구의 과실에 비하여 높게 유지되었다. 과실의 감모율은 수확기를 달리한 모든 과실 들에서 PE 필름 처리 과실들에서 현저히 억제되었다. 성숙기에 수확한 과실은 저온저장 중 과실의 꽃받침 부위과 경와부의 과피색(L* 및 b*) 변화를 보면 무처리와 PE필름 처리구에 비하여 1-MCP 처리구들이 그 변화정도가 낮았다. 과실의 부패와 연화정도는 PE필름 처리 과실들에서 높게 나타났지만 AVG 처리구들에서는 부패과 발생이 없었다. 그리고 조기수확한 과일은 성숙기에 수확한 과실에 비하여 경도가 높게 유지되었고, 과피색의 변화가 낮은 경향을 보였고, 성숙기에 수확한 과실들은 당도, 과피의 적색 (Hunter a 값) 발현 및 호흡율이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 감 과실의 저장성 향상을 위해서는 조기수확이 중요한 요인으로 작용하고 또한 수확 후 1-MCP 처리가 과일의 경도를 높게 유지하고 과피색의 변화를 억제하였으며, 과실의 감 모율은 PE 필름 처리에 의해 현저하게 억제됨을 확인하였다.

This study was investigated the effects of various commercial sanitizers on microbial characteristics in fresh-cut iceberg lettuce during storage. For screening sanitizer, lettuce was cut and dipped in chlorine water (0.2 ml·L-1), solution of organic acids such as ascorbic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, mixture of ascorbic acid and acetic acid (1-6%), and solutions of commercial sanitizers such as Formula 4TM (1,3,4%), Fresh produce washTM (1,3,4%), CleancolTM (1%), ChitocholTM (1%) and Natural CaTM (0.1%) for 3 min, respectively. Washing lettuce with selected sanitizers resulted in reduction of aerobic bacteria of more than 2 log CFU/g. Initial pH of lettuce was related with the pH of sanitizers. pH ranged from 4.7 to 6.1 in Formula 4 (4%, pH 1.7) and Natural Ca (0.1%, pH 12.0), respectively. Chlorine water showed consistent and significant inhibition effect in all of microorganisms except total coliform. Over 3% of Formula 4 and Fresh produce wash were found to have high bactericidal activity among sanitizers. The sanitizers of chlorine water, Fresh produce wash, Chitochol and Natural Ca were effective in reducing yeast and mould populations. As coliform and E. coli, Formula 4 (4%) showed the highest bactericidal activity. The bactericidal effect of commercial sanitizers during storage varied with the kinds and concentrations of tested sanitizers. Although inhibition effect was not showed during storage, these results suggest that commercial sanitizers could be an alternative to chlorine for washing fresh-cut produce.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of different freezing conditions and storage periods on physicochemical and microbial characteristics of garlic. Garlics were washed, dried, sliced to 0.3 cm then packed in LDPE+LLDPE film bags. They were treated with still-air freezing at -20°C (SAF20), -40°C (SAF40) and immersed-liquid freezing at -40°C (ILF40). Frozen garlics were stored under frozen storage conditions for 7 months at -20°C and quality characteristics were measured monthly during the frozen storage. Freezing rate of garlic was the fastest in ILF 40 (10 min), SAF40 (40 min) and SAF20 (1,600 min) sequentially. In ILF40, drip loss, cutting force, total aerobic bacteria count and pH were the lowest, whereas pyruvic acid and allicin content were the highest (p<0.05) during frozen storage, these results were the most similar characteristics with the fresh garlic. During frozen storage, drip loss, color difference and total organic acid content were significantly fluctuated in SAF20 (p<0.05), while they were not changed in ILF40. Overall, total aerobic bacteria count and pH decreased, cutting force, pyruvic acid and allicin content remained unchanged in all groups. In conclusion, the optimal freezing conditions for garlic with the least quality changes was considered to be ILF40 (immersed liquid freezing), keeping quality characteristics up to 7 months by freezing storage.

With the goal of developing a new functional fermentation milk using green tea powder (GP), milk was fermented with direct vat set (DVS) starter culture containing Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. We investigated fermentation characteristics and antioxidative activities of fermented milk supplemented with different concentrations (0.5, 1, 2, 3%) of GP. All samples were evaluated for pH, total acidity, viable cell count, and sugar contents. The pH of all samples decreased during fermentation, and the final pH ranged from 4.35 to 4.51. The acidity increased during fermentation, after the fermentation was completed, the titratable acidity was 0.8 to 1.1%. And viable cell count of all samples increased during fermentation, and the final viable cell count was 8.57 to 8.89 log CFU/mL. The sugar content decreased as the fermentation proceeded and finally reached 12 to 13 ˚Brix. And increasing GP, decreased brightness and increased yellowness. Increasing GP concentration added to milk, improved DPPH free radical scavenging activity and ferric ion reducing activity of fermentation milk. The fermentation milk kept their pH, total acidity and viable cell counts standard of fermentation milk during the storage period at 4℃. These findings confirmed the possibility of development of the novel functional fermentation milk through the investigation of the quality characteristics of the fermentation milk added with GP.

This study was carried out to investigate shelf-life and quality of fresh-cut Dungkunma (Dioscorea bulbifera) in order to elevate utilization of Dungkunma a fresh food. Before vacuum-packaging (in polyethylene/polypropylene film (100μm, 15×20 cm, 75±2 cmHg) and storaging at 2℃, Dungkunma was peeled out and cut to dice type (2.0±0.5 cm3), and then washed and blanched using hot water (at 90±2℃ with 2% NaCl solution for 30 sec). Blanched Dungkunma was pre-dried at room temperature, 40℃ and 50℃ for removing surface water. Each peeled dice Dungkunma was packed 50 g in polyethylene/polypropylene film (100 μm, 15×20 cm) with vacuum treatment (75±2 cmHg) and stored at 2℃ for 90 days. Hardness and adhesiveness of Dungkunma blanched by 2% NaCl and pre-dried at 50℃ (SB50) were the highest, but changes were the least during storage. Lightness and yellowness of stored Dungkunma in all treatments decreased slightly while redness increased during storage. Changes of color of SB50 was the least. Total concentration of aerobic bacteria in SB50 was 1.88±0.18 log CFU/g during 90 days and E. coli was detected in all treatments during whole storage periods. Dioscin and allantoin contents of SB50 were virtually unchanged during the storage. Consequently, the results of this study suggest that vacuum packaged Dungkunma after blanching using 2% NaCl solution could be effective to prolong the quality of fresh-cut Dungkunma.

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.

Background : The practice of keeping the medicinal herbs at room temperature causes many problems, but due to lack of sufficient field research and study, it is difficult to improve related regulations and safety management. Methods and Results : The Cnidium Rhizome and Angelica gigas Root were inoculated with Lasioderma serricorne F. and incubated at 28℃ for 2.5 months and 5 months. After five months, the number of Lasioderma serricorne F. in Cnidium Rhizome increased from 30 to 1,429 (about 47 times). In the same period, the number of insects in Angelica gigas Root increased from 30 to 663 (about 22 times). Due to the rapid increase in pest population, hygiene deteriorated, changes in the active ingredient and appearance quality of the herbal medicines, which greatly damaged the value of the herbal medicine. Conclusions : These results show that current regulation requiring only sealing and not specifying the storage temperature do not guarantee quality safety. Therefore, it is necessary to establish appropriate preservation standards and improve management regulations in order to preserve safety.

NT와 ET의 외관을 비교한 결과 초기에는 NT가 우수하였으나, 저장 2주 후에는 NT에 비하여 ET의 외관이 밝고 깨끗하였다. 저장한 절단배추를 이용하여 김치를 제조하여 이화학적 품질특성을 측정한 결과, 가용성 고형분 함량은 CON, ET-K, NT-K 순으로 높았으나 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p<0.05). 적정산도 또한 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 그 값은 NT-K, ET-K가 비슷한 값을 나타내었으며, CON이 더 낮은 함량을 보였다. pH의 경우, NT-K가 더 낮은 pH 값을 보였으며, CON과 ET-K는 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p<0.05). 관능검사 결과, 숙성 기간에 따라 모든 구에서 외관은 색에 대한 기호도와 절임상태 모두 감소하였으며, 냄새는 젓갈내가 유의적인 차이를 보이며 감소하였고, 신내의 경우 ET-K가 NT-K에 비해 낮은 값을 보였다. 조직감은 ET-K가 유의적인 감소를 보였으나, CON, NT-K와의 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 향미는 짠맛과 젓갈맛이 증가한 반면, 생배추맛, 쓴맛, 탄산맛은 감소하였다. 전반적으로 난각칼슘을 처리절단배추 김치(ET-K)는 일반 배추김치(CON)와 관능적으로 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p<0.05). 난각칼슘을 처리하여 단기간 저장한 절단배추를 이용하여 품질이 양호한 김치 제조가 가능한 것으로 사료된다.

Background:The purpose of improving the quality of oriental medicinal herbs is to contribute to the improvement of the income of farm. The present study investigated the effect of reasonable drying methods, different storage conditions and packageing materials on quality and stability of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and for developing GAP (good agricultural practice) guide book.Methods and Results:Three methods of drying Scutellaria baicalensis roots produced over two years were used to estimate loss rate owing to drying, storage, and packaging. The methods of drying were categorized into natural drying (36 - 60 h by sunshine), drying with heat dryer (2 - 10 h), or drying with gas bulk dryer (2 - 10 h). After cleaning, and initial drying for a few days under controlled temperature conditions, the second phase of drying was carried out at 35, 45 and 55°C. Changes in hunter color values and quality under the two studied storage treatments (at 20°C indoors and at 4°C in a refigerator) were evaluated. Storage period for 60, 120, and 180 days in three packaging materials, PE (polyethylene package), PP (polypropylene gunnysack), and WP (watertight packing paper) were studied.Conclusions:Initial cleaning, reasonable gas drying and hot air drying, and drying in an oven at 35 and 45°C after cutting the roots resulted in the lowest loss rates in S. Baicalensis root. Hunter color valuse indicated that stroage of dry roots at room temperature was better than PP packaging, and that cold stroage was better than PE packaging for long-term stability.

본 연구에서는 열전소자와 플라즈마 장치를 삽입하여 제작된 컨테이너와 기존의 사용되고 있는 스티로폼(EPS)박스에 소고기를 저장하면서 저장 중 품질특성을 조사하였다. 온도변화 측정 결과 저장기간 동안 TCS-1 컨테이너가 2℃ 이하로 온도유지가 잘 되는 것으로 측정되었다. EPS박스는 저장 3일 이후 소고기가 부패되어 더 이상 실험이 불가능 하였다. 소고기의 신선도를 나타내는 휘발성염기질소(VBN)과 지방산패도(TBA)값의 측정 결과, 저장 7일째 TCS-1의 VBN은 7.72 mg%, TBA는 0.52 mgMA/kg, TCS-2의 VBN 값은 9.20 mg%, TBA는 0.91 mgMA/kg로 측정되어 TCS-1이 TCS-2 보다 유의적으로 적은 증가율을 나타내어 소고기의 신선도를 더 잘 유지하는 것으로 판단되었다. 미생물 변화는 저장 7일 TCS-1은 4.62 log CFU/g, TCS-2는 7.09 log CFU/g으로 측정되어 TCS-1이 유의적으로 미생물 증식 억제에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 기호도 조사 또한 저장 7일째 TEU-1은 모든 항목에서 6.5점 이상의 평가를 받았으나 TCS-2는 4.1 이하의 평가를 받아 소고기의 상품성이 상실된 것으로 판단되었다. 모든 분석항목에서 TCS-1이 TCS-2보다 소고기 신선도 유지에 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.

The effect of packaging materials on the quality and physiological activity of Angelica acutiloba leaves during storage at 4℃ for 20 days and after being transferred to room temperature for 2 days was studied. The experiment was conducted using three packaging materials: the corrugated box (control); corrugated box with 20 ㎛ HDPE perforated film liner; and corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper + 20 ㎛ HDPE perforated film liner. Changes in weight, color, aroma, overall visual quality, antioxidant activity, and total flavonoids were investigated. Based on the result, the treatments using corrugated box with 20 ㎛ HDPE perforated film liner and the corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper + 20 ㎛ HDPE perforated film liner, were effective in minimizing weight loss, and maintaining external color and overall quality as compared to corrugated box only (control). The corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper + 20 ㎛ HDPE perforated film liner was more effective in maintaining antioxidant activity and total flavonoids than other treatments. Prolonging the freshness using corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper + 20 ㎛ HDPE perforated film liner could increase the marketability of Angelica acutiloba leaves in the domestic market.

Quality characteristics, such as moisture content, pH, acidity, sugar content, salinity, flavor, taste, color, and overall acceptance of apple Jangachi prepared with different apple cultivars were investigated after different times in storage. The initial moisture content of apple Jangachi was 14.19-16.94% according to cultivar. After 5 days of storage, the moisture content increased to 23.26-26.91%. The pH was 3.98-4.55 regardless of cultivar. Total acidity decreased at first and then increased slightly after 10 days in the range of 0.8% to 1.3%. The sugar content of apple Jangachi decreased from 60-68% to 27-34% on the 5th day and was maintained at 23-25% after 5 days regardless of apple cultivar. The salinity of apple Jangachi increased from 0.94-1.64% to 3.5-3.8% after 15 day regardless of cultivar. In the sensory evaluation, apple Jangachi prepared with the Gala cultivar was given the best ratings in overall acceptability.

The consumption of waxy corn is steadily increasing in Korea. Waxy corn is harvested before it reaches full maturity and consumed immediately or follwing cold storage. Glutinous and sweet kernels are preferred due to their high palatability. The kernel properties can change rapidly following harvest, and, therefore, optimal conditions to maintain the kernel quality of corn should be identified. In addition, the timing of harvest of waxy corn ear should be also determined for optimal marketable corn production. From 10 days after silking (DAS) to25 DAS. fresh ear weight and single kernel weight rapidly increased from 78.3 g and 1.13 g, respectively, to 224.9 and 3.61 g, respectively. However, by 30 DAS both fresh and single kernel weight decreased by 10.6% and 6.1%, respectively. Kernel hardness significantly increased up to 25 DAS, and a further slight increase in kernel hardness was observed at 30 DAS. Total sugar content in kernel decreased from 12.5% at 10 DAS to 3.5% at 35 DAS, which was the result of the conversion of sugars to starch during ear development. Crude protein content in kernel did not vary significantly in comparison to kernel hardness. During storage of ear, kernel hardness increased from 726 g cm-2 at harvest to 1,894 g cm-2 following 28 days of storage at a low temperature (0°C). Kernel hardness increased 2.5 fold from 15 DAS to 30 DAS. Soluble protein level in kernel increased until 10 DAS, following which a slight decrease was observed. The soluble protein content decreased from 1.85% at 5 DAS to 1.45% at 35 DAS. Total sugar content in kernel decreased regardless of storage temperature; however, the rate of reduction was lower at 0°C than that observed following storage at 4°C and 10°C. The rate of reduction in kernel moisture content was also lower at 0°C than that observed at 4°C and 10°C.

In this study, we analyzed seed storage proteins in order to investigate the main factors related to the eating quality of japonica and tongil-type rice varieties. Sensory evaluation was performed by a trained panel to assess the appearance (color and glossiness), flavor, taste, stickiness, texture, and overall score of nine japonica and three tongil-type rice cultivars. Moreover, the pattern of variation in rice storage proteins was examined by electrophoresis of protein extracts. The electrophoretic pattern of rice proteins showed 16.4 kDa albumin, 26.4 kDa globulin, 34-39 kDa and 21-22 kDa glutelin, and 14.3 kDa prolamin. In terms of storage protein, the varietal differences between japonica and tongil-type rice were found in albumin, globulin, and the α-1, and α-2 sub-units of acidic glutelin. Furthermore, the overall sensory evaluation score was observed to be positively correlated with albumin (0.495 ** ) and globulin (0.567 ** ), and negatively correlated with α-1 glutelin (-0.612 ** ). Therefore, the results indicated that albumin, globulin, and α-1 glutelin can affect the eating quality of japonica and tongil-type rice varieties, with the latter having lower eating quality than the former.

Inappropriate storage of fresh-cut onions may result in losses of good quality. To understand storage conditions for shelf-life and quality of fresh-cut onions, The effect of packing type and storage temperature on the quality of fresh-cut onions was evaluated. Onions stored at 0℃ for 2 months were peeled off after removing root and shoot parts. Each three peeled onions were packed in a polyethylene film (PE, 50 μm) or in a polyethylene/polypropylene film (PE/PP, 100 μm) with vacuum treatment (70 cmHg) and stored at different temperatures (4, and 10℃) for 21 days. The following analyses were examined to evaluate the quality of fresh-cut onions: microbial population, surface color, titratable acidity and pH, respiration rate, and sensory quality. Fresh-cut onions stored at 4℃ showed less aerobic and coliform bacterial population than those stored at 10℃ during observation periods. Fungal populations of fresh-cut onions packed in PE film stored at 10℃ increased significantly after 13 days. E. coli was not detected in all treatments during whole storage periods. Surface colors of fresh-cut onions were not affected by packing type and storage temperature, however, color difference (ΔE) of fresh-cut onions in PE/PP film stored at 10℃ was significantly higher than those of other treatments. Titratable acidity of fresh-cut onions was not affected by packing type and storage temperature. However, pH of fresh-cut onions packed in PE film stored at 10℃ increased gradually over the whole storage period. Fresh-cut onions packed in PE film showed higher CO2 and less O2 concentrations at 10℃ than those at 4℃. The sensory quality of fresh-cut onions was significantly affected by packing type and storage temperature after 13 days. Particularly, vacuum treatment in PE/PP film showed better sensory quality than that of PE film package at the same storage temperature. It was concluded that vacuum treatment and storage at 4℃ could be effective to prolong the quality of fresh-cut onions up to 21 days.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and ethylene-absorbent on the qualities of Prunus mume fruit. Prunus mume fruits were stored without film packaging (Cont), packed in LDPE film (Cont-P), and packed with ethylene-absorbent (Cont-PE). Fruits were treated with 1-MCP (1 ppm) for 24 hr at 1℃. After treatment, fruits were packed in LDPE film (MCP-P) and with ethylene-absorbent (MCP-PE) and then stored at 1℃ for 8 weeks. Total soluble solids increased during storage but decreased after 6 weeks while total acidity decreased during storage. Cont was almost completely decayed after 8 weeks of storage while Cont-P, Cont-PE, MCP-PE, and MCP-P were 46, 69, 83, and 5% decayed, respectively. L value decreased but a value increased during storage in all samples. Firmness of peel and flesh of samples decreased gradually for 8 weeks. Respiration rate did not show any significant difference among samples. Ethylene production of Cont showed 0.05 μL/kg/h but immediately after 1-MCP treatment, it showed 0.02 μL/kg/h. Oxalic and malic acids decreased while citric acid increased during storage; fructose and glucose substantially decreased after 8 weeks whereas sorbitol and sucrose increased upto 4 weeks and then decreased thereafter. Based on these results, packing the fruits treated with 1-MCP could extend the freshness of Prunus mume fruit.

This study was conducted to determine the potential use for salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste by analyzing the quality characteristic of kimchi prepared with stored them. Salted Kimchi cabbages were packed with the 2% brine and kimchi paste were stored at 4℃ for 8 weeks, respectively. Kimchi prepared at 0 day and kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste every week were stored at 4℃ for 8 weeks. The salinity and titratable acidity of salted Kimchi cabbage packed with the brine was lower than control. The results of salinity, pH and moisture contents of kimchi paste did not show any significant differences during storage, however, the titratable acidity was increased. In sensory evaluation, salted Kimchi cabbage packed with the brine showed higher score in overall preference than control. Kimchi paste showed 4.9~6.1 score in overall preference during storage. The titratable acidity of kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste was lower than control. But, the results of sensory evaluation did not show significant difference among treatments. The study suggested that the use of 2% brine is an effective way for extending shelf-life of salted Kimchi cabbage and Kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste every week is effective to delay the fermentation but no difference in sensory evaluation.
