주요 수출버섯인 큰느타리버섯의 적합한 수확 후관리방법을 개발하기 위해 저온 저장 후 유통온도와갈변방지처리에 따른 품질변화를 분석한 결과, 수확후 예냉단계에서 ClO₂ 처리를 하여 포장하여 저온저장 후 20°C 유통시 무처리보다 신선도가 우수했으며,10~15°C에서 유통할 때는 18일까지 판매가능한 신선도가 유지되어 무처리보다 3~6일 연장되어 농가에서출하 후 매장까지 신선도 유지에는 낮은 온도관리가가장 주요한 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The effect of browning inhibitors on quality properties of fresh-cut strawberries was investigated. Half-cut strawberries were treated with dipping solutions alone and with combinations of 1% ascorbic acid, 1% citric acid, 1% sodium chloride, and 1% magnesium chloride, were packaged with low density polyethylene bags, and were kept for 24 hours at 4ºC. The levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the packages of the samples treated with the combined solutions were the highest and the lowest, respectively. The loss of L value and flesh firmness of fresh-cut strawberries was retarded by the combined solutions than by the dipping solutions alone. The soluble solids and pH were not affected by the browning inhibitor. These results suggest that mixture of ascorbic acid, citric acid, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride may prevent browning and softening of fresh-cut strawberries.

Minimally processed lotus root was stored at 4 followed by dipping in distilled water, 3% ascorbic acid, 1% citric acid, 1% acetic acid, 1% EDTA, 2% lactic acid and 3% malic acid. The weight loss, color, soluble solids, pH, vitamin C and sensory characteristic were measured during storage period. The rate of weight loss decreased in the minimally processed lotus root. ΔL was changed slightly after 1 week storage and 1% acetic acid and 1% EDTA especially retarded a little retardation in browning during storage. Soluble solids was changed slightly, but decreased after 2 week storage in lotus root treated with 2% lactic acid and 3% malic acid. pH increased but vitamin C decreased during storage. The organoleptic quality of lotus root treated 1% EDTA showed the best by sensory evaluation.
