This study is in order to the effect of 1-methlycyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment and film package as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the changes in fruit quality factors of 'Daehong' peaches during cold storage. The concentrations of 1-MCP were treated at 1μL·L-1 and 2μL·L-1, and peaches in film package were stored for 28 days in cold storage at 5±1°C and 85±5% RH. The fruits stored carton box were used as a control of MAP, and 1-MCP free fruits were used as the control of both packages. Rate of fresh weight loss during storage was not significantly different between groups with and without 1-MCP treatment, but was higher in the box package than in the MAP. The control group had a higher incidence of both gases with the 1-MCP treatment group showing statistically significantly low. Carbon dioxide in the package was lowered by about 12% compared to the non-treated group, and the ethylene concentration was maintained at 1μL·L-1, showing a significance low compared to other treated groups. As the storage period elapsed, the firmness of 1-MCP and MAP treated fruits remained significant at 5-9% compared to the control group. Regardless of the packaging method Hunter a* values of exocarp and mesocarp were significantly higher in fruit treated with 1-MCP 1μL·L-1 treatment than in the control group, and anthocyanin was significantly higher in the fruit during the storage period, especially high in MAP. In summary, fruits of MAP group with 1-MCP 1μL·L-1 had rate of lower respiration and ethylene production, and little changes in firmness, Hunter a* values of exo-carp and meso-carp, and anthocyanin, which is considered the most suitable method for preserving postharvest quality of the peach cultivar during the storage.

To improve the shelf-life of Centella asiatica, Centella asiatica was treated with gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at 3-5 ppm for 20 days at 4℃. The weight loss rate, as well as the changes in pH, color, and texture of the treated samples, were investigated. The weight of the control and ClO2 gas-treated samples was decreased during the storage period. The change in weight of the control was slightly faster than that of the samples treated with 3 and 4 ppm ClO2 gas. The pH of the control and the ClO2 gas treated samples were decreased during the storage period and there was no significant difference between the control and ClO2 gas treated samples. Concerning color (lightness, redness, and yellowness) changes of Centella asiatica during the storage period, there was no significant difference between the control and ClO2 gas treated samples. The change in shear force in the leaf and stem of Centella asiatica during the storage period was slightly lower in the 4 ppm ClO2 gas treated samples (in the leaf) compared to the control and 3 and 4 ppm ClO2 gas treated samples (in the stem) compared to the control and 5 ppm ClO2 gas treated sample.

The purpose of this study was to examine the microbiological and physicochemical changes on packaged tofu stored at temperatures of 5, 13, 23, and 30oC, and measure the consumable period from the expiry date to ultimately evaluate the microbiological safety on the extension of the consumable period. From the investigation, the pH value of tofu at each storage temperature (5, 13, and 23oC) showed a slight decrease over the storage period, although there was no significant change. The hardness of packaged tofu decreased more rapidly as temperature and storage time increased and the tofu started to show signs of decomposition at the same time. Analysis on the microbial change of tofu at different storage temperature revealed that the number of general bacteria also increased as the temperature increased. It was further found that packaged tofu takes 25 days at 5oC, 7 days at 13oC, and 1 day at 23oC from the expiry date until the general bacteria count is at least at the early decomposition level which is 10oC log CFU/g. However, no coliform bacteria was detected from tofu after storing at 5, 13 and 23oC. When packaged tofu was stored at 5oC, the L value changed significantly after 26 days, whereas the a and b values showed no significant change during the storage period (P>0.05). When storing tofu at 13oC and 23oC the L value decreased after 8 and 3 days, respectively. However, both a and b values increased (P<0.05).

This research aims to investigate pudding with grain-added yogurt for its quality characteristics and viability during cold storage. The yogurt was fermented until its pH was 5.10±0.05 after inoculating the probiotic strain (Bifidobacterium lactis, BB-12) into the milk base containing grains. The yogurt was added to prepare probiotic puddings. During cold storage of the puddings at 4±1oC for 4 week, the quality characteristics (pH, acidity, texture) and the viability of BB-12 in pudding were determined and compared to control (only milk base). As a result, MR had a significantly lower pH and higher acidity than those of other samples. In texture properties, including hardness, gumminess, and chewiness, MSIR showed the significantly highest value, and the pudding with inulin was significantly higher than rice flour in all textures. For the viability of BB-12, pudding with milk was significantly lower than pudding containing milk and soymilk, suggesting that soymilk helps maintain viability. MR showed significantly higher viability than MI in the milk-based pudding, indicating that rice flour is more effective than inulin. Therefore, the addition of soymilk, inulin, and rice can maintain quality characteristics and viability of BB-12 in the pudding.

This study was carried out to determine the optimum temperature of the jicama pickle solution by evaluating physicochemical and sensory characteristics at various temperatures. The soaking solution of the jicama pickle was prepared at different temperatures (95, 75, 50, and 25oC). During storage, the titratable acidity, Brix, and the salinity of the jicama pickles increased, and these values increased with increasing temperature of the soaking solution. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the lower the L and b values. In all samples, the hardness increased rapidly until the 5th day of storage, and then gradually decreased. During storage, the jicama pickles showed a high tendency to harden at soaking solution temperatures of 75 and 95oC. Sensory evaluation indicated that the taste, flavor, crispness, and overall preference of the jicama pickle were higher at a soaking solution temperature of 75oC and above. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the higher the acceptability. Based on these results, we conclude that soaking solution temperature of 75°¦95oC in the manufacture of jicama pickles had a positive effect on the reduction in tissue softening and the sensory properties of the jicama pickle.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of the microbiological contamination levels, pH, acidity, solid contents, total phenol contents, and color difference of cold-brew coffee products during 4 weeks at room and cold temperatures. The 17 sample coffees were purchased from regional cafes in Jeonju. Each coffee was self-blended by the cafes. Esherichia coli was not detected in all the samples, but bacteria were detected in 1 sample and yeast and molds were detected in 4 samples. Of the samples stored at room temperature (25oC) after 4 weeks, general bacteria were detected in 4 samples (3.0×101 cfu/ml-1.7×103 cfu/ml), and yeast and molds were detected in 11 samples (1.3×101 cfu/ml - 3.1×105 cfu/ml). In the case of the samples stored at cold temperature (4oC), general bacteria were detected in 3 samples, and yeast and molds were detected in 6 samples although the level of contamination was lower than that at room temperature. pH and acidity decreased during the storage period, but the total phenol content did not change. In the case of chromaticity, redness and yellowness tended to decrease.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding gradually increasing concentrations of turmeric extract (0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4%) to smoked duck meat on its chromaticity, antibiosis, and antiseptic degree against food poisoning bacteria, number of bacteria, lipid rancidity, sensory evaluation, and preference. The brightness, red color intensity and yellow color intensity changed significantly when 0.2% turmeric extract was added and the sodium nitrate concentration was reduced. Additionally, no antibiosis or antiseptic activities against food poisoning bacteria were observed in any turmeric treated samples, whereas the number of bacteria was increased in control samples compared to turmeric treated samples after 10 days of preservation. The TBARS value decreased during storage when turmeric extract concentration increased, resulting in positive sensory evaluation of its color, succulence, taste and hardness. In the preference test, the surface and meat color increased as the concentration of turmeric extracts increased. Hardness was highest at 0.2%, whereas taste was highest between 0.2 and 0.4%. The overall preference test was highest for the 0.2% extract samples. Overall, the results indicated that addition of 0.2% turmeric to smoked duck meat will lead to better nutrition, function, and overall preference.

To prolong the shelf-life of chicken breast meat, samples were treated with gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at 7~15 ppm for eight days at 4℃. The microbial, physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation of the treated samples were investigated. The total number of bacteria in the control increased during storage and showed 6.78 log CFU/g on the 8th day of storage, but ClO2 gas treatments showed 6.24~6.58 log CFU/g at the same time. The initial pH of chicken breast meat was 6.00 and gradually increased during storage. And ClO2 gas treatments did not show any significant difference from the control during storage period, but maintained a generally lower pH than that of the control. The lightness, redness, and yellowness during storage were not significantly different between the control and the 7~10 ppm ClO2 gas treatments. However, as the storage period was increased, the redness of 15 ppm ClO2 gas treatment was reduced. The cooking loss and shear force were not different between the control and ClO2 gas treatments during the storage period. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) increased in the control from the 6th day of storage and 23.80 mg% in the 8th day of storage. However, VBN of ClO2 treatments showed lower than that of the control. In the change of sensory evaluation during storage, 10 ppm ClO2 treatment showed the highest preference in odor, appearance and overall acceptance during storage period.

To prolong the shelf-life of strawberry, samples were treated with gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide(ClO2) gas at 3~7 ppm for 6 days at room temperature. The weight loss and decay ratio as well as changes in pH, color and texture properties of the treated samples were investigated. The weight of the control and ClO2 gas treated samples decreased slightly, but the weight of the control changed faster than those of the ClO2 gas treated samples during the storage period. The decay ratio of control was higher than those of the ClO2 gas treatments since 4 days of storage. The pH and acidity in the control and in the ClO2 gas treated samples were no differences during storage period. The lightness of strawberry decreased during storage, but there was no difference in lightness among the treatments even when storage time was extended. The redness and yellowness of the control showed higher change than those of the ClO2 gas treatments during 6 days. The firmness of the control changed more rapidly than those of the ClO2 gas treatments during 6 days. Especially, the samples treated 3 and 5 ppm ClO2 gas were the least changed. And the scores for appearance, firmness and overall acceptance control and 7 ppm ClO2 gas treatment decreased more rapidly than those of 3 and 5 ppm treatment.

Quality changes of dried sea cucumber (Stichopusjaponicus) after applying a cyclic rehydration and retorting process were investigated during 4 weeks of storage. The length, volume, and weight of dried sea cucumber increased significantly as the number of rehydration cycles increased. Sea cucumber (SC) was bottled in the glass jar and a retort thermal process (121.1oC, 0.15 MPa) was applied. The total thermal processing time (TTT) was 24 min based on the temperature at the cold point. The size and texture of retorted SC were significantly changed until the first week of storage. However, regardless of the number of rehydration cycles, the size and texture of samples at different rehydration cycles showed no significant difference during the whole storage. The length, volume, weight, rehydration ratio (RR), hardness, and chewiness at the maximum degree of swelling during rehydration of dried SC were estimated as 100.86 mm, 38.62 mL, 41.05 g, 6.39 of RR, 249.19 gf, and 4.05 mJ, respectively.

Quality changes of carrots thermally processed in a large size (5 kg) retort pouch during 52 weeks of storage were investigated under different packaging methods and package shapes. To improve the efficiency of thermal processing (121.1oC, 0.15 MPa), the carrot (i.e., solid) and the broth (i.e., liquid) of the carrot soup were separately packed and sterilized. The quality changes of carrot packed without liquid were compared with those with liquid. Two different package shapes such as rectangular parallelepiped and cube were also evaluated to figure out the efficiency of the heat penetration rate for a large-sized pouch. The TTT (F0-values = 6) were 27, 54, and 114 min from the rectangular parallelepiped, cube, and solid/liquid mixed groups, respectively. In the mixed groups, the hardness and chewiness of solids (carrot) were significantly smaller than those measured in the other groups as TTT increased. Carrots treated in the rectangular parallelepiped shape showed a significantly higher texture than the cube shape. The CV of hardness and chewiness in the rectangular parallelepiped and the cube shape were calculated as 7.56 and 47.19, and 29.16 and 65.28, respectively. This demonstrated that a more uniform quality can be obtained from the rectangular parallelepiped shape.

Quality changes of carrots thermally processed in a large size (5 kg) retort pouch during 52 weeks of storage period were investigated upon different packaging methods and package shapes. To improve the efficiency of thermal processing (121.1°C, 0.15 MPa), the carrot (i.e., solid) and the broth (i.e., liquid) of carrot soup were separately packed and sterilized. The quality changes of carrot packed without liquid were compared with those with liquid. Two different package shapes such as rectangular parallelepiped and cube were also evaluate to figure out the efficiency of the heat penetration rate for the large size of pouch. The location of cold points and the total thermal processing time (TTT) were different upon the treatment. Fo-values, satisfying the TTT to at least 6 min, were 27, 54, and 114 min from the rectangular parallelepiped, cube and solid/liquid mixed group, respectively. In the mixed groups, the hardness and chewiness of solids (carrot) was significantly smaller than that measured in the other groups as TTT increased. Carrots treated in the rectangular parallelepiped shape showed a significantly higher texture than the cube shape for both immediately after the thermal treatment and during the storage period. Coefficient of variation (CV), which indicates the quality variation within the same treatment, of texture properties obtained from the outside and the center of the sample were compared to evaluate the quality variation within the same treatment. The CV of hardness and chewiness of the rectangular parallelepiped and the cube shape were calculated 7.56 and 47.19, and 29.16 and 65.28, respectively. This demonstrated that more uniform quality could be expected from the thermal treatment in the rectangular parallelepiped shape

The purpose of this research was to observe the quality changes of beef and blueberry during frozen storage. Drip loss, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) content, polyphenol content, and moisture content in the beef and blueberry were measured to determine the quality change of beef and blueberry for 29days. As a result, drip loss changed from 2.35 to 3.80%, and TBARS content changed from 0.11 to 0.30 mg MDA/kg beef for 29days. Both results showed that drip loss and TBARS content increased by 1.7times compared to those at initial samples. However, the frozen storage condition in this study is recognized as proper for beef preservation since the TBARS content below 0.46 mg MDA/kg beefis regarded to be edible. Polyphenol content and moisture content changed from 3.07 to 3.11 mg Gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g blueberry and from 0.44 to 0.27%, respectively. There were no significant differences in polyphenol and moisture contents. In conclusion, frozen storage of beef and blueberry had no adverse effect on their quality for 29 days.

To improve the shelf-life of mushrooms, Lentinula edodes GNA01 mushrooms were treated with gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at 5~10 ppm for 5 days at 20℃ and the weight loss rate as well as the changes in pH, color and texture properties of the treated samples were investigated. The weight of the control and ClO2 gas treated samples were decreased slightly, and there were no differences during the storage period. However, the weight of the control changed faster than those of the ClO2 gas treated samples during storage period. The pH in the control and in the ClO2 gas treated samples were decreased during storage period, but the samples treated with 5 and 7 ppm ClO2 gas were the least changed. On the other hand, the samples treated with 10 ppm ClO2 gas showed no difference from the other treatments during 4 days, but the pH was lower than that of the control on the fifth day. The lightness of inside and outside in mushroom were decreased whereas redness and yellowness were increased during storage period. However, color changes in the ClO2 gas treated samples were lower than those of the control. Especially, the samples treated with 5 and 7 ppm ClO2 gas were the least changed. The texture of the mushroom were decreased consistently during storage period. The texture of the control changed faster than those of the ClO2 gas treatments during 5 days. Especially, the samples treated 5 ppm ClO2 gas were the least changed.

방울토마토의 저장성 증진을 위하여 30 ppm의 이산화염소수를 0~30분 동안 처리한 후 표면의 수분을 건조시킨 후 저장 기간에 따른 중량 변화, 이화학적 변화 및 기호도의 변화를 측정하였다. 대조군의 경우, 중량 변화의 경우, 4주 동안 대조군 및 이산화염소수 처리군 모두 천천히 중량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났고, 그 중 대조군의 변화가 약간 더 변화되었지만 아주 큰 차이는 아닌 것으로 판단되었다. 가용성 고형분의 함량 변화에서는 이산화염소수 처리에 의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 저장 중에도 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 경도의 변화에서는 이산화염소수 처리에 의한 차이는 없었으나, 저장기간에 따른 변화에서는 대조군보다 이산화염소수 처리군이 약간 높은 경도를 보였다. 명도, 적색도 및 황색도의 변화에서는 대조군 및 이산화염소수 처리군 모두 처리 직후와 저장 중 차이를 보이지 않았다. 맛, 향, 색 및 종합적 기호도의 변화에서는 이산화염소수 처리 직후에는 대조군과 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 그러나 저장 중 대조군의 맛, 조직감 및 종합적 기호도 변화가 이산화염소수 처리군에 비해 큰 것으로 나타났다.

C 함량의 경우 저장 기간이 길어질수록 감소하였는데, 특히 저장 4일차에 비교적 크게 감소하였다. 사과의 관능평가 수행 결과, 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 외관의 좋은 정도는 0일차에 6.75에서 15일차 2.83으로 크게 감소하였으며, 신맛의 좋은 정도는 저장 기간에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 전반적으로 감소하는 경향이었다. 단맛의 좋은 정도와 아삭함의 좋은 정도에서는 0일차에 각 6.25, 5.33으로 가장 높았으며, 15일차에 각 3.92, 2.83으로 유의적으로 감소하였다. 종합적인 기호도에서는 7일차와 8일차 사이에 5.00에서 3.50으로 비교적 큰 폭 감소하였으며, 15일차에 2.00으로 저장 기간에 지남에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다. 이상의 실험결과, 사과 저장 시 3~4일차에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, 저장 8일 이후에는 모든 항목에 있어 측정감이 크게 변화하는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 0∼1℃에서 장기 저장한 사과를 20℃ 전후에서 저장 및 판매할 경우, 최고의 품질을 위해서는 3일 내에 판매할 것을 권장하며, 8일 이내에 재고를 소진할 수 있도록 유통 기간을 조정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.

복숭아의 저장성 증진을 위하여 30 ppm의 이산화염소수를 0~15분 동안 처리한 후 저장 기간에 따른 부패율, 이화학적 변화 및 기호도의 변화를 측정하였다. 대조군의 경우, 부패율은 저장 4일 이후부터는 부패된 복숭아를 보이기 시작하였으며, 저장 8일에는 31.25%의 부패율을 보였다. 그러나 이산화염소수 처리군은 4일차에는 부패된 것이 전혀 없었으며, 5분 처리군의 경우, 6일차에 6.25%의 부패율을 보였으며, 10분 및 15분 처리한 경우에는 8일 동안 저장하는 동안 부패한 것이 발견되지 않았다. 4일차에는 6시간 처리군만 12.5%로 가장 높게 나타났지만, 저장 6일차에는 열풍처리시간별로 각각 16.7, 25.0, 25.0%로 대조군과 비교할 때 모든 이산화염소수 처리군의 부패율이 현저히 낮게 나타났다. 중량변화의 경우, 저장 8일 동안 대조군의 변화가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. pH 변화에서는 이산화염소수 처리에 의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 저장기간 중 pH는 약간 증가하였다. 경도의 변화에서는 이산화염소수 처리에 의한 차이는 없었으나, 저장기간에 따른 변화에서는 대조군보다 이산화염소수 처리군이 다소 높은 경도를 나타내었다. 명도, 적색도 및 황색도의 변화에서는 대조군 및 이산화염소수 처리군 모두 처리 직후와 저장 중 차이를 보이지 않았다. 맛, 향, 색 및 종합적 기호도의 변화에서는 이산화염소수 처리 직후에는 대조군과 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 그러나 저장 중 대조군의 기호도 변화가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 대조군보다는 이산화염소수 처리군의 기호도가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

유통 중인 느타리버섯의 등급별 품질규격을 조사하여 농산물표준규격의 내용을 개선하고 저장중 느타리버섯의 품질 변화를 조사하고자 하였다. 갓의 직경과두께는 A등급을 기준으로 균상재배버섯이 38.9mm과4.5mm였으며, 병재배 버섯은 22.2mm와 3.9mm였다. 대(자루) 길이는 A등급을 기준으로 병재배 버섯이 66.7mm였고, 균상재배 버섯이 49.6mm으로 병재배 버섯이 길었다. 그러나 대굵기는 균상재배 버섯이 13.0mm, 병재배 버섯이 9.9mm로 균상재배 버섯이 굵었다. 대와 갓의 명도값은 균상재배 버섯이병재배 버섯보다 높았고, 경도도 균상재배 버섯이 약간 높았다. 그리고 병재배 버섯은 등급내에서 갓의고르기, 대의 곧기, 갓의 색 등에 개체간 차이를 보였지만, 균상재배 버섯은 등급내에서 갓의 모양, 고르기 등에 차이가 없고 포장시 배열이 일정하게 되어있었다. 느타리버섯을 4°C와 10°C에 저장하면서 기간별로 품질변화를 조사한 결과 갓 직경은 저장온도와 저장기간에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았나, 갓 두께는 저장 7일후에 빠른 비율로 얇아졌으며, 특히10°C에서 더 빠른 비율로 얇아졌다. 갓과 대의 경도는 온도에 관계없이 저장기간이 길어질수록 작아지는 경향을 보였으며, 갓의 명도값은 저장 7일까지는낮아지다가 이후로는 조금씩 높아졌으나, 대의 명도값은 저장기간이 길어질수록 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 25°C 저장에서는 부패가 너무 빨리 진행되어 품질조사가 불가능하였다.

양송이버섯의 쉬운 변질에 따른 소비자 및 유통업체들의 피해를 예방하기위해 저장성이 증진된 품종을 개발하고자 현재 육성된 품종들의 수확시기, 저장온도 및 저장기간에 따른 저장성 정도를 파악하였다.1·2주기동안 수확한 양송이를 35일 동안 4, 7, 10oC에 저장한 결과 전반적으로 중량은 감소하는 경향을보였고, 자실체 대의 두께는 감소하였으며, 길이는증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 생육주기별로 보면 대의 두께와 길이가 1주기보다 2주기에 변화가 적은양상을 보였고, 온도별로 대의 두께와 길이는 온도가낮을수록 변화가 많이 나타났다. E(표면색도)의 변화는 1주기보다 2주기에 수확한 것이 갓과 대의 색도변화가 많았다. 또한 백색품종은 10oC에서 E 값의 차이가 크게 나타나 높은 온도에서 표면의 갓 및대의 색이 변화가 심하다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, ‘다향’은 낮은 온도에서 변화가 컸다. 부위별로 보면 갓부위에서 갈색품종이 백색품종보다 색의 변화가 적었다. L값(명도)는 E 값과 생육주기 및 온도별 변화가 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 명도에 따른 저장기간을보면 1·2주기 수확한 양송이 중 백색품종은 1주일정도 저장할 수 있었고, ‘새도’품종이 수확 후 L값이큰 것으로 보아 가장 좋은 상태로 수확된다는 것을알 수 있었다. 품종별로 보면 ‘설강’품종의 L값이 저장기간 14일까지 좋은 상태로 유지되었지만, 28일이지나면 급속도로 L값이 낮아지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 그에 비해 ‘새정’품종은 모든 온도에서 35일까지 L값이 서서히 감소되는 것을 볼 수 있었다(Table 2).평균적으로 형태적인 변화를 보면 ‘설강’ 품종이 대의 굵기는 변화가 적은 반면에 길이 변화가 컸고,‘505’품종이 저장함에 따라 길이변화가 적었다. 표면색도변화는 갓 부위에서는 갈색양송인 ‘다향’이 가장변화가 적었고, 백색양송이 중에는 ‘새정’품종이 변화가 적었으며, ‘505’가 가장 변화가 심했다. 대 부위에서는 ‘새아’품종이 변화도가 적었으며 ‘새도’품종이 가장 변화가 많았다. 양송이 선택시 갓의 색을 보는 경우가 많으므로 이 결과 도출로 ‘새정’품종이 유통과정 중 35일간 저장성 면에서 우수한 품질을 유지할 수 있다고 볼 수 있다.

유통 중인 양송이버섯의 등급별 품질규격을 조사하여 농산물표준규격의 내용을 개선하고 저장중 양송이버섯의 품질 변화를 조사하고자 하였다. A등급 자실체의 평균무게는 19.3g, B등급은 12.2g, C등급은 10.4이였다. 갓의 평균직경은 A등급이 43.3mm으로 가장 컸으며, B와 C등급은 차이가 없었다. 자루길이는 A등급에서 1cm 미만이 59%, 1cm 이상이 41%였으며 평균길이는 9.8mm였으며, B등급에서는 1cm 미만이 83%, 1cm 이상이 17%였고, 평균길이는 13.1mm, C등급에서는 1cm 미만이 77%, 1cm 이상이 23%였으며 평균길이는 11.6mm였다. 대굵기는 A등급이 20.3mm로 B등급 14.5mm, C등급 12.9mm에 비해 가장 굵었다. 대와 갓의 경도는 등급별로 뚜렷한 차이를 보이 않았다. 수확시 자루절단에 따른 중량감소 정도는 평균 절단길이 비율은 60.8%였고, 평균 중량감소율은 12.6%였다. 저장온도 및 기간별 품질변화는 갓직경이 저장 5일까지는 저장온도에 관계없이 대부분 3.5~4.5cm 정도로 크기변화는 거의 없었으나, 20℃에서는 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 작아져 저장 15일에는 급격히 줄어들었다. 저장기간이 증가할수록 중량감소율은 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 높은 온도에서 저장한 양송이버섯 보다 낮은 온도에서 저장한 양송이버섯의 증량감소율이 줄어들었다.
