Abstract

This study was to examine the effect of the opening ratio (area of spile hole/total surface area) of plastic container and storage temperature on physicochemical changes of fresh ginseng. At room temperature ($19\~23^{\circ}C$, RH $40\~61\%$), fungi and spoilage were observed 4 and 10 days, respectively after storing the fresh ginseng in a closed container. In storage container with $1\%$ opening ratio, fungi appeared 8 days after storage. In the container with $5\%$ and $10\%$ opening ratio, fresh ginseng showed excessive loss of moisture on the surface only after 4 days. The weight loss was most remarkable in the container with 5 and $10\%$ opening ratio. Content of maltose and sucrose decreased gradually in accordance with storage time but the extent of decreasing ratio was less significant in the container with lower opening ratio. At low temperature $(4\~9^{\circ}C,\;RH\;72\~92\%)$, no fungi but $10\%$ loss of weight was observed in the container with $5\%$ and $10\%$ opening ratio after 12 days storage. But in the tightly closed container and $1\%$ opening ratio for spiting, fresh ginseng showed good appearance even after 30 days of storage. Free sugars, especially maltose revealed gradual decrease but sucrose gradually increase following decrease at the beginning. This result suggests that storage condition of low temperature and opening ratio of plastic box less than $1\%$ can extend storage span of fresh ginseng significantly.

본 연구는 수삼의 저장용기로 많이 이용되고 있는 플라스틱 상자의 통기구 비율 즉 개공율이 수삼의 저장성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 개공율을 밀폐(0), 1, 3, 5, 및 $10\%$로 설정하여 실온에서$(19\~23^{\circ}C,\;RH\;40\~61\%)$ 10일간, 냉장으로$(4\~9^{\circ}C,\;RH\;72\~92\%)$ 30일간 저장하면서 이 화학적 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 실온에서 외관변화는 밀폐구에서 4일 부터 곰팡이 발생이 관찰되며 10일째는 부패하였고, $1\%$는 8일부터 곰팡이 발생이 관찰되었다. $5\%$$10\%$ 개공율은 4일부터 시들기 시작하였다. 중량감모율은 개공율이 높을수록 많이 나타나 $5\%$$10\%$개공율에서 4일후 $10\%$이상 나타났다. 유리당은저장기간의 경과에 따라 maltose와 sucrose가 감소하였는데 개공율이 낮을 수록 많이 감소하였다. 냉장에서 곰팡이 발생은 관찰되지 않았으며 중량모율은 $5\%$$10\%$ 개공율에서 12일부터 약 $10\%$를 보이면서 시들기 시작하였으며, 밀폐와 $1\%$는 30일간 저장기간에서도 양호한 외관상태를 보였다. 유리당중 maltose는 감소, sucrose는 감소하였다가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 보관상자의 개공율을 조절하여 수삼의 저장성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
