For the vessel export of strawberries, modified atmosphere package (MAP) using polyamide (PA) film and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) film was investigated to extend the shelf life of strawberries. Because the temperature and relative humidity changes of the MAP were lower than the changes of the control, the weight loss of the MAP were lower than that of the control. The low oxygen level and high carbon dioxide level were effective to decrease the fungal decay rate and to increase the hardness of strawberries. The Hunter’s color differences before and after storage showed no distinct difference between the MAP and the control. The lightness had a tendency to decrease while the redness increased. There were no significant changes of the soluble solids during the storage. The shelf life of strawberries could be extended to 16 days using the MAP considering the weight loss and the fungal decay rate. Thus, this MAP method using PA film and LLDPE film was effective to extend the shelf life of strawberries.

우리는 decalin 용액으로부터 결정화 통해 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LLDPE) 입자를 제조하였다. 열 유도 상 분리 (TIPS) 공정에서 입자의 형성은 LLDPE/decalin 용액을 제어하여 냉각하는 동안에 형성되었다. 높은 폴리머 농도에서 결정화를 위한 핵 생성과 성장속도의 증가에도 불구하고, 일반적으로 저 농도에서 보다 큰 입자를 초래하였으며, 결과적으로 LLDPE는 decalin 용액에서 농도가 증가할수록 LLDPE 입자의 평균 직경이 증가했습니다. FE-SEM 의 현미경사진에서, 다양한 농도로부터 관찰된 입자는 10 μm 보다 작았으며, 구형 형태를 나타내었다. 부가적으로 그 크기에 대한 효과를 보면, LLDPE 입자 크기 분포는 폴리머 농도가 높을 때가 폭이 컸다.

We are crystallized to the linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) particles by a thermally induced phase separation(TIPS). TIPS process based on the phase separation mechanism was performed for the LLDPE system which undergoes liquid-solid phase separation. The linear low density polyethylene particle formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in the metastable region. Although the growth rates depended on the experimental conditions such as the polymer concentration and temperature, the particles were larger when the polymer concentration was higher or temperature was higher. The particles were observed by SEM. The LLDPE particle size distribution became broader when the polymer concentration was higher.
