Abstract

Skin blackening is a serious postharvest disorder occurring in 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki, 'Fuyu'). Phenolic content, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activity, and lipid saturation were investigated in skin tissue of 'Fuyu' fruits. The phenolic compounds were accumulated unevenly on fruit skin depending on sunlight exposure, i.e., the most accumulation on sunny side and the least on the opposite, shaded side. The fruits harvested from shaded branches inside the canopy showed relatively even distribution of phenolic compounds in the skin. The activity distribution of PPO and POD were also uneven but only in fruits suffering f rom skin b lackening disorder, w ith the h ighest and the lowest a ctivity of PPO and P OD, respectively, in the blackened area of the fruit. When the sunny, southern sides of fruits were marked at harvesting time and fruits were stored at low temperature, a round black spot, as a symptom of skin blackening disorder, developed during storage exactly on the marked region. In addition, the sunny side of fruit showed higher lipid saturation, thus indicating adaptation to high temperature caused by the sunlight. These results suggest that the skin blackening disorder of 'Fuyu' fruits can be considered as a kind of chilling injury symptom that develops on the high-temperature-acclimated skin tissue of sunlight-exposed fruits when they are later exposed to low temperature.

과피흑변은 '부유' 단감(Diospyros kaki, 'Fuyu') 과실의 저장 중에 발생하는 주요 생리적 장해의 하나이다. 부유 과실의 과피에서 페놀화합물의 함량, PPO와 POD의 활성, 지질 포화도를 분석하였다. 페놀화합물은 일광의 방향에 따라 과피에 불균등하게 분포하였는데, 일광 노출면에 축적량이 가장 많았고 그 반대면에서는 가장 적었다. 그러나 수관 내부의 음지 가지에서 수확한 과실의 경우 페놀화합물은 과피에 비교적 고르게 분포되어 있었다. PPO와 POD의 활성 또한 과피에서 고르지 않았으나, 이는 과피흑변이 발생한 과실에서만 그러하였으며, 흑변 부위는 PPO 활성은 가장 높고 POD 활성은 가장 낮았다. 수확 시에 일광면에 표식을 한 과실을 저온에 저장하였을 때, 저장 중 과피흑변의 증상인 운형 흑반은 정확히 표식 부위에 발생하였다. 게다가, 일광면은 높은 지질포화도를 보였는데, 이는 일광에 의해 야기된 고온에 대한 적응을 의미한다. 따라서 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 부유 과실의 과피흑변 장해는 일광에 노출된 과실의 고온 순화 과피 조직에서 나타나는 저온장해 증상의 일종인 것으로 간주할 수 있을 것이다.
