Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the change of infernal quality, such as vitamin C and nitrate contents in some leaf vegetables grown hydropoincally in different nutrient conditions. Pak-choi (Brassica camperistis L. spp. chinesis Jusl.), chungchima (Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa cv. Chungchima) and romaine (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia Lam.) lettuces were cultivated for 2 weeks in 4 different nutrient solutions, such as tap water; no-nutrient, added $NH_4$, discarded $NO_3$, and supplied Yamazaki' solution for lettuce as a control. The growth of leaf vegetables was not different among nutrient solution treatments except tap water. The nitrate content showed the highest in control, and followed by $+NH_4$ treatment, $-NO_3$ and tap water treatment, regardless of kind of vegetables. The vitamin C content in 3 different vegetables showed the opposite result against nitrate content so that the treatment that showing the highest vitamin C content was tap water in romaine and chungchima lettuces, and $-NO_3$ treatment in pak-choi. The vitamin C and the nitrate content showed high correlations; $r=-0.614^*$ in pak-choi, $-0.651^*$ in romaine lettuce, and $-0.804^{**}$ in chungchima lettuce.

본 실험은 양액조성 및 단비 처리에 의한 엽채류의 질산염과 비타민 C와 같은 내적품질 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 2주일간 정상적인 배양액에서 재배한 후 다시 2주일간 서로 다른조건의 양액에서 재배한 청경채, 청치마상추, 로메인상추는 단비처리구를 제외하고는 생육에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 내적 품질로 질산염은 야마자키 상추 1배 양액 처리구에서 가장 높았으며 다음으로 $+NH_4$ 처리구 순서였고 $-NO_3$와 단비 처리구에서 가장 낮았다. 비타민 C 함량은 대체로 질산염과 반대의 결과를 나타내어 청치마, 로메인상추에서는 단비처리구에서 청경채는 $-NO_3$처리구에서 가장 높았다. 이들 질산염과 비타민 C 함량간의 상관계수는 청경채는 -0.614, 로메인상추는 -0.651이었으며 특히 청치마상추는 -0.804를 나타내었다.
