Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish postharvest management techniques including a temperature pre-conditioning protocol for maintaining fruit quality in newly developed early-season Korean pear cultivar 'Hanareum' (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai). The fruits were treated with three different pre-conditioning temperatures (21, 25, or $29^{\circ}C$) for 4 days according to the harvest time (103 or 110 days after full bloom, DAFB). The percent weight loss was relatively low in the fruits subjected to low pre-conditioning temperature regardless of harvest time. The firmness of the fruits treated with pre-conditioning at $21^{\circ}C$ remained high during 20 days of simulated marketing at $25^{\circ}C$, although all treated fruits showed a general decline of firmness with extended time of simulated marketing. These fruits also showed higher appearance and a lower incidence of mealiness disorder symptoms. During the experimental periods, the production of ethylene was lower in the fruits pre-conditioned at $21^{\circ}C$ in comparison with those of treated at 25 and $29^{\circ}C$. High respiration rates were obvious in the fruits pre-conditioned at high temperature ($29^{\circ}C$), especially in the optimum-harvested fruits, where respiration was approximately two times higher than that of fruits exposed to $21^{\circ}C$ during pre-conditioning. However, the respiration rate was similar during simulated marketing at $25^{\circ}C$ regardless of harvest time. These results demonstrated that temperature pre-conditioning at $21^{\circ}C$ is a simple and effective postharvest technique for summer harvested Korean pear cultivars including 'Hanareum'.

본 연구에서는 수확 후 예건처리를 통해 '한아름' 배 과실의 상온유통 중 품질 유지를 위한 수확관리 기술을 정립하기 위해 실시하였다. 과실은 만개 후 103일과 110일에 각각 수확하여 세 그룹의 처리 온도(21, 25, $29^{\circ}C$)에서 4일간 예건처리를 실시하였다. 과실의 감모율은 수확시기에 관계없이 예건온도가 낮을수록 낮은 경향을 나타내었다. 과실의 경도는 상온 유통기간이 증가함에 따라 모든 처리에서 경도가 감소하는 경향을 보였고 두 수확시기 모두 $21^{\circ}C$ 처리구가 경도유지에 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 $21^{\circ}C$에서 예건한 경우, 상온유통 중 외관 품질이 높게 유지되었고 분질장해 등 생리장해의 발생은 낮게 조사되었다. 상온유통 중 에틸렌 발생량은 조기수확과 및 적숙과 모두 비슷한 수준을 보였고 두 수확시기 모두 예건온도가 $21^{\circ}C$인 경우가 25 및 $29^{\circ}C$에 비해 에틸렌 발생량이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 과실의 호흡량은 예건처리 기간 중에는 온도가 높을수록 호흡률이 높아 $29^{\circ}C$ 처리는 $21^{\circ}C$ 처리에 비해 호흡률이 2배 이상 높았고 조기수확과에 비해 적숙과가 호흡률이 높은 것으로 나타났는데 상온 유통기간 중에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 한여름에 수확되는 조생종 '한아름' 배에 있어 수확 후 $21^{\circ}C$ 예건처리는 상온유통 중 과실의 품질 유지를 위한 바람직한 수확 후 처리방법의 하나로 추천할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
