Abstract
This study was carried out to compare the storability in MA storage and quality of paprika fruits among 9 cultivars grown in 2011 and 12 cultivars in 2012. 'Mosanto 7044' was the most proper cultivar in red-type paprika has grown in 2011 for MA storage, because it showed relatively higher fruit weight, firmness, soluble solid content, and the lowest ethylene production rate, as well as the second longest shelf life. 'Stayer' was suitable cultivar in yellow-type paprika cultivated in 2011, because it showed higher firmness, soluble solid content and lower ethylene production rate than other cultivars. 'Nagano' was the most proper cultivar in red-type paprika has grown in 2012 for MA storage. Because it showed relatively higher fruit weight, firmness, flesh thickness and the lowest ethylene production rate and decay ratio, although the shelf life of 'Nagano' was the third longest (28 days). 'Freestar' was the excellent cultivar in yellow-type paprika cultivated in 2012, because it showed higher firmness, vitamin C content and lower respiration rate than other cultivars and the longest shelf life of 26 days. The shelf life had a high correlationship with ethylene production rate (r = -0.5504), and soluble solid (r = 0.6112), as comparing with the shelf life and the fruit characteristics of 21 cultivars paprika has grown in 2011 and 2012.
본 연구는 장기 저장 유통을 위해 MA 저장에 적합한 품종 선발을 위해 2011년에 9개, 2012년에 12개의 파프리카 품종을 대상으로 품질과 저장성을 비교하였다. 2011년도 실험에서는 빨간색 품종 중에 과중, 경도 그리고 당도이 높고, 에틸렌 발생률이 낮으며 저장수명도 23일로 두 번째로 길었던 'Mosanto 7044'이 노란색 품종에서는 경도와 당도가 높고, 에틸렌 발생률이 낮았던 'Stayer'가 우수하였다. 2012년도 실험에서는 빨간색 품종 중에 과중, 과피두께, 경도가 높고, 부패율과 에틸렌 발생률이 낮으며 저장 수명이 28일로 세 번째로 길었던 'Nagano'가, 노란색 품종에서는 과피두께, 당도, 비타민 C 함량이 상대적으로 높았고, 에틸렌 발생률이 낮으며 저장수명이 26일로 가장 길었던 'Freestar'가 가장 우수하였다. 과실 품질 특성과 저장수명과의 상관관계를 비교한 결과 에틸렌(r = -0.5504)과 당도(r = 0.6112)가 고도의 상관관계를 보였다.
