Abstract

The quality properties of peeled ginger (PG) were investigated during CA storage at different $CO_2$ concentrations. $O_2$ concentration was kept constant at 5% while $CO_2$ of 6%, 14%, 22% and 30% were used. It was found that the weight loss rate tended to decrease with an increase of $CO_2$. In the case of fixed $10^{\circ}C$ storage, the L-value and a-value of the exterior color in treatment increased more than that of control with respect to time, while the b-value of the exterior color and the cutting plane color showed no significant difference. In the exterior color, the results of PG-$25^{\circ}C$ showed similar with PG-$10^{\circ}C$ except b-value of the exterior color which showed not a little change. The cutting plane color did not showed significantly difference in the PG samples between $25^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$. Hardness of the PG during storage was found to decrease most severely at 6% of $CO_2$ concentration regardless of storage temperature. The growth of microorganisms during storage of the PG tended to be restrained as $CO_2$ concentration increased. However, microorganisms, when maintained at $25^{\circ}C$ storage, multiplied rapidly to $10^8$ CFU/g within 4 days regardless of concentration.

본 연구에서는 박피생강(PG)의 CA저장효과를 규명하기 위하여 $O_2$ 농도를 5%로 고정하고 $CO_2$ 농도를 6%, 14%, 22%, 30%로 각각 조절한 후 포장하여 품질특성을 살펴보았다. 중량감소율의 경우 저장온도에 따른 차이를 나타냈고, $CO_2$ 농도가 높을수록 낮은 경향을 보였다. $10^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 생강의 표면색은 저장일수가 증가함에 따라 L값과 a값은 증가하였고 b값은 대조구와 유사한 결과를 나타냈으며, 절단면 색은 L, a, b 값 모두 대조구와 비교하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. $25^{\circ}C$$10^{\circ}C$에서 각각 저장한 PG의 외부표면의 b값은 저장일수가 증가함에 따라 크게 변화하였고, 절단면 색의 경우는 저장기간 동안 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 박피생강의 저장 중 경도의 경우 저장온도에 관계없이 $CO_2$ 농도 6%에서 가장 크게 감소하였고, $CO_2$ 농도가 높을수록 경도변화 폭이 적게 나타났다. 박피생강의 저장 중 미생물 변화는 $CO_2$ 농도가 높을수록 억제되는 경향을 보였고, $25^{\circ}C$ 저장 생강의 경우 농도에 관계없이 저장 4일 만에 $10^8$(CFU/g)으로 급격히 증가하였다.
