Abstract

The study was conducted to examine the storage potential of recently developed oriental pears, 'Kamchun' and 'Chuhwang'. The content of soluble solids of 'Kamchun' pears was above 13.2% but the acidity was below 0.082% at three harvest dates. Although skin browning disorder did not occur in 'Kamchun', about 40% of fruits were affected by core breakdown especially when harvested after middle of October. In contrast, flesh browning was also observed in early harvested fruit. Flesh firmness of 'Chuhwang' was higher than that of 'Kamchun' at harvest as well as after storage. The acidity of 'Chuhwang' was constantly higher than that of 'Kamchun'. Severe skin browning (approximately 80%) occurred in 'Chuhwang' pears regardless of harvest dates. Also, more flesh browning disorder was found in fruit harvested early in the season. Further research is required to determine the optimum harvest date of both cultivars and postharvest managements to inhibit the physiological disorders.

본 연구는 신품종 '감천'과 '추황' 배 과실에 있어 수확시기에 따른 저장성을 조사하여 이들 품종의 수확 후 관리를 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 하였다. '감천'은 대과로서 당도는 13.2% 이상으로 수확시기에 관계없이 높았고 산도는 0.082% 이하로 낮아 전반적인 품질이 우수하였고 저장 중 과피 흑변이 전혀 발생하지 않았지만 과심 갈변이 10월 중순 이후 수확한 과실에서 40% 정도로 높게 발생하였다. '추황'은 경도가 높고 산함량이 높으며 저장 중 과피 흑변이 수확시기에 관계없이 80% 이상 높게 발생하였고 과육갈변도 조기 수확한 과실에서 심하게 발생하였다. 따라서 수확 후 생리적 장해를 회피할 수 있는 적절한 수확시기와 이들 장해를 방지할 수 있는 수확 후 관리 기술의 개발이 필요하다.
