Abstract

This study was conducted to extend the postharvest life of eggplant ($Solanum$ $melongena$ L.) by modified atmosphere packaging using a OPP bag with 1-MCP to evaluate the alleviation effects of that treatment on external chilling injury during at low temperature. 1-MCP treatment at the level of $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ were very effective in delaying the progress of surface bronzing of eggplant during 10 days of storage at $8^{\circ}C$, but not significant at $1^{\circ}C$. Also, the treatment of 1-MCP at the levels of $0.1{\sim}1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ are beneficial to complement low temperature storage and maintain quality indices such as higher firmness and lower weight loss than untreated control even at a critical low temperature 4 to $8^{\circ}C$. The treatment of carbon dioxide using dry ice (DI, 5 g/3 fruits) significantly promoted chilling injury of eggplant stored at $4^{\circ}C$, symptoms were appeared from 3 days after treatment and combination treatment of 1-MCP did not block the development of chilling injury symptom. Meanwhile, single treatment of $CO_2$ absorber (CA, 5 g/3 fruits) or combination treatment with 1-MCP at the level of $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ prevented effectively the external and internal chilling injury at $4^{\circ}C$ during 6 days and 15 days of MAP storage, respectively. Results suggest that 1-MCP and carbon dioxide absorber treatments delay fruit deterioration and are beneficial to broaden storage temperature of eggplant fruits.

본 연구는 가지($Solanum$ $melongena$ L.) 과실의 수확 후 품질보전을 위한 기술개발을 목적으로 MAP 저장 중 내 외부 저온장해의 발생에 미치는 1-MCP 및 이산화탄소의 영향을 구명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 가지의 저온장해 증상은 1-MCP 처리 후 4 및 $8^{\circ}C$ 저장구에서 과실의 저온저장기간 경과에 따른 장해의 진전을 현저히 늦추었고 $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구는 $8^{\circ}C$ 저장구에서 10일간 저온장해가 전혀 발생하지 않았고 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장구에서는 현저히 장해의 진전을 늦추었으나 $1^{\circ}C$ 저장 처리구에서의 장해경감 효과는 보이지 않았다. 또한 1-MCP $0.1{\sim}1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구의 경우, 4 및 $8^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 저온저장 후 무처리구에 비해 감모율이 낮고 경도가 높게 유지되는 것으로 조사되어 품질적 측면에서 긍정적 효과를 보였다. 드라이아이스(5g/3과)를 이용하여 MAP 가지에 이산화탄소를 처리하였던 경우, 처리 3일 후에 저온장해가 급격히 증가하였고 1-MCP 처리는 장해의 진전을 막지 못하는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면, 가지 과실의 MAP 저장 시 이산화탄소 흡수제(5g/3과)의 단용처리 및 $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도의 1-MCP를 복합처리 하였던 경우, 4 MAP 저장 중 과실의 외부장해는 6일간 전혀 발생하지 않았고 내부장해는 복합처리의 경우 15일간 방지할 수 있었다. 종합적으로 본 연구 결과, 가지 과실에 대한 1-MCP 및 이산화탄소흡수제 처리는 가지 과실의 품질 악화를 지연시키며 유통기간 연장을 위한 저장온도의 범위를 넓혀주는데 실용성이 높다고 판단된다.
