Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of 1-MCP, an ethylene action inhibitor, and several postharvest treatments including ethylene scrubbing on fruit quality and respiration for keeping marketability in 'Janhowon Hwangdo' peach ($Prunus$ $persica$ Batsch). 1-MCP at the rate of $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ showed best results in maintenance of fruit firmness and external appearance such as skin color. The ethylene production was strongly reduced by 1-MCP treatment at 0.5 or $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ but respiration rate was only suppressed at $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ during 6 days of shelf life at $20^{\circ}C$. Mature fruits (harvested 1 week before full commercial maturity) were much highly responsive to $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of 1-MCP compared to those of commercial maturity. At the concentration of $0.5{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of 1-MCP did not affect fruit marketability compared to untreated control. Beneficial effects of carbon ceramic as an ethylene scrubber were also found such as delay of firmness loss and deterioration of external appearance at $10^{\circ}C$, but these positive effects on fruit quality remained for only 5 days. The application of ethylene scrubber on the shipping carton boxes was effective on keeping firmness of immature fruit pretreated with 1-MCP when compared with mature fruit.

복숭아 '장호원황도'에 있어 저장, 유통 중 품질 향상을 위한 1-MCP 처리 및 에틸렌제거제 처리효과를 검토하였다. 1-MCP를 $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도로 처리하였던 경우 8일간의 상온 유통 중 경도유지 및 착색지연에 효과적인 것으로 나타났는데 완숙과에 비하여 성숙과에서 1-MCP 처리 효과가 크게 나타났다. 그러나 1-MCP를 $0.5{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도로 처리하였던 경우에는 품질유지 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 1-MCP를 0.5 및 $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 처리하였던 경우 과실의 에틸렌 발생을 억제하였는데 호흡률 저하는 $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구에서만 유의하게 나타났다. 저온저장 중 1-MCP 처리와 에틸렌제거 처리 효과를 비교한 결과, 처리 효과가 저장 5일 후까지만 1-MCP를 처리한 과실의 경도가 높게 유지되었고 에틸렌 제거제 처리의 경우 성숙과의 경우에만 단기적 경도 유지효과를 보여주었다. 저온저장 중 에틸렌제거를 실시하였던 경우 성숙과에서 저장 초기에 경도 감소를 지연하는 효과를 보였으나 완숙과에서는 효과가 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 한편 1-MCP 처리 과실에 대한 박스 내 에틸렌제거제 복합처리는 과실의 경도유지효과를 나타내어 상온유통 5일 후 성숙과의 경우 1-MCP 처리구는 무처리구에 비하여 약 2배 경도가 높아 실용성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
