생활 패턴의 변화와 소득수준이 향상됨에 따라 과실류에 대한 소비자의 기호 성향은 고급화 및 신선도를 추구하는 경향이 증가하고 있으며 따라서 과실의 비파괴 품질판정기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 과실에 대한 여러 외부품질 인자중 과실의 경도는 일차적으로 기계적 특성으로 이해되어 가공기계의 설계 시 이송장치 등과 같이 과실과 직접 접촉하는 부분들에 대한 세부적인 설계에 필요한 기초 물성일 뿐만 아니라 포장재 등을 설계하는 필요한 중요한 인자로 사용되고 있다. 또한 경도는 저장 및 유통과정 중에 발생하는 부패 등에도 관련하여 이미 외국에서는 많은 연구가 진행 중에 있으며 특히 숙도 등과 같은 품질변화와 관계가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있을 뿐만 아니라 소비자의 구매행위시 가장 중요시하는 선택 기준 중의 하나이며 과실의 장기 저장성을 결정하는 주요한 품질 인자라고 할 수 있다.

Melon fruits exhibit a wide range of morphological variations in fruit shape, sugar content, net quality, diameter and weight, which are largely dependent on the variety. These characteristics significantly affect marketability. For netted varieties, the uniformity and pattern of the net serve as key factors in determining the external quality of the melon and act as indicators of its internal quality. In this study, we evaluated the effect of fruit morphology and growth on netting by analyzing the changes in melon fruit quality under LED light treatment and monitoring fruit growth. Computer vision analysis was used for quantitative evaluation of fruit net quality, and a three-variable logistic model was applied to simulate fruit growth. The results showed that melons grown under LED conditions exhibited more uniform fruit shape and improvements in both net quality and sugar content compared to the control group. The results of the logistic model showed minimal error values and consistent curve slopes across treatments, confirming its ability to accurately predict fruit growth patterns under varying light conditions. This study provides an understanding of the effects of fruit shape and growth on net quality.

We explored how 'Wonwhang' pear fruit quality was affected by selenium (Se) application. The fruit skin color and fruit type differed between Se-treated trees and controls. Se-treated fruits had higher potassium and Se concentrations, more fruit soluble solids, and lower acidity, compared to the controls. All Se treatments improved fruit firmness during cold temperature storage compared to the controls. Also, Se-treated fruits had greater specific gravity and minuteness, which reduced fruit pithiness and rendered test fruits denser than the controls. Overall, Se foliar application improved fruits marketability compared to the Se fertilization or Se trunk injection.

We investigated the effects of organic mulches on the tree and fruit qualities of "Niitaka" (Pyrus pyriforia) pear trees. Trees grown with rice straw mulch had significantly greater potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca) concentrations in leaves compared with control trees and those mulched using bark or polyethylene, but the concentrations were below the recommended levels for these nutrients in pear leaves. Bark mulch increased fruit firmness and soluble solid (SS) levels, compared with rice straw mulch. The fruit of trees grown with bark mulch had a higher ratio of SS to total acidity in fresh fruit, and the fruit was dark red in color. The K and Ca concentrations were highest in fruit grown on trees mulched with rice straw and bark, respectively, and competition between the levels of these cations was evident in fresh fruit. Bark and rice straw mulches increased overall fruit quality, and reduced fruit stone size, whereas a polyethylene mulch, devoid of organic material, resulted in a fruit stone size similar to that of the control.

This study was conducted to develop an appropriate postharvest technique to extend the shelf-life of an early cultivar, 'Tsugaru' apples. The general quality of stored fruit was more affected by maturity at harvest than postharvest treatments. When firmness and internal quality were considered, fruits harvested at the medium stage of color development showed better results. Between postharvest treatments examined in this study, a simple polyethylene film(PE) wrapping (30um) was excellent on inhibition of weight loss but this treatment revealed no clear effect on other quality factors including firmness and acidity. Ethylene scrubber(ES) in polyethylene wrapping showed a positive effect on keeping fruit quality in general. Especially acid content was higher in fruit stored with PE + ES, thus, fruit seemed to be better in freshness. A physiological disorder was observed regardless postharvest treatments. The symptom was associated with incidence of pitting on surface and breakdown of the effected tissue. And much more symptoms were developed near the calyx end. Thus, future studies concerning 'Tsugaru' storage should include an examination of the optimum storage temperature.

과수재배에 있어 결실조절이란 안정된 수량과 좋은 품질의 과실을 생산하기 위한 수단이다. 그러기 위해서는 먼저 충분한 결실량의 확보가 무엇보다 중요하다. 그러나 과종에 따라서 그해의 기상조건이나 격년결과에 의해 결실불량이 문제되는 경우가 있으나 정상적인 재배관리하에서는 대부분의 과수가 결실이 과다하여 과실품질을 떨어뜨리는 경우가 많으므로 적기에 합리적인 결실조절이 이루어져야 좋은 품질의 과실을 생산할수 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 결실조절중 인공수분과 적과에 관하여 사과, 배를 기준하여 알아보기로 한다.

감(Diospyros kaki)은 한국과 일본이 주산지이며 국내 단감의 재배 품종은 만생종인 ‘부 유’가 주종을 이루고 있으며 독특한 맛, vitamin C 등 영양적 가치와 함께 식품으로서 안전성이 우수한 과실로 평가되면서 소비량이 매년 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 단감은 국내에서 생산되는 과실로서는 드물게 PE필름에 포장된 상태에서 유통되고 있다. 이렇게 포장된 과실은 저온상태에서 유통되어야 MA의 효과를 충분히 발휘할 수 있으며 유통기한도 연장될 수 있을 것으로 생각되나 현재 국내에서 저온 유통되는 단감은 찾아보기 어렵다. 이에 현행 상온유통에서 PE필름 밀봉 방식과 무포장 상태의 과실의 품질변화를 살펴봄으로써 그 문제점을 파악하고 반응표면분석을 통하여 최적 저장조건을 찾아내고자 하였으며 유통조건을 고려하여 0.05mm LDPE 필름밀봉방식의 품질변화를 보았으며, 문제점을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 LDPE 필름포장이 단감의 품질변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 단감은 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 0.05mm LDPE필름으로 포장하여, 당도, 수소이온농도, 경도를 측정하고 또한 $O_2$(1, 3, 5%) $CO_2$(5, 10, 15%)의 9구분으로 환경기체조성을 조절하여 중심합성계획법에 의해 반응표면분석을 하고 종합적으로 검토하였다.

This study was conducted to compare differences in fruit quality by harvest time of 'Fuji' apple fruit that was frozen on tree by unusual low temperature in that air temperature was under $-3.5^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. Fruits were harvested at 1 day before, and 2 days and 6 days after freezing damage, respectively. Harvest's soluble solid contents in all treatments was over $14^{\circ}Bx$. Firmness and titratable acidity of fruit harvested after freezing damage was lower than those of fruit harvested before freezing damage. During cold storage, ethylene production of fruit harvested after freezing damage was higher than that of fruit harvested before freezing damage. The reduction in the level of fruit quality during cold storage of fruit harvested after freezing damage was more serious than that of fruit harvested before freezing damage. The reduction of fruit quality during subsequent ambient temperature for 1 week after cold storage of fruit harvested after freezing damage was higher than that of fruit harvested before freezing damage. In comparison of treatments that were harvested at different times after freezing damage, ethylene production and reduction in the level of fruit quality until 8 weeks of cold storage of fruit harvested at 6 days after freezing damage was lower than that of fruit harvested at 2 days after freezing damage. However, this difference by harvest time after freezing damage disappeared after 8 weeks of cold storage. Incidence of flesh browning was not affected by freezing at air temperature under $-3.5^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours.

We investigated how Germanium (Ge) application, and the application method, affected 'Niitaka' (Pyrus pyrifolia) fruit quality in a conventional orchard. Ge-treated pears weredark yellow in color, indicating appropriate maturation. Other fruit characteristics, and weight, did not significantly differ between tests and controls. Compared to controls, fruit from Ge-treated trees had more soluble solids, a lower acid content, and fewer stone cells, which reduced fruit chewiness. Ge-treated trees showed a higher Ge concentration in fruit but a lower calcium (Ca) concentration. Other fruit mineral nutrients, includingP, K, and Mg, did not differ in level between Ge-treated fruit and controls. Ge-treated fruit showed greater firmness and a heavier specific weight during 6 months of storage, compared to control fruit. Therefore, Ge treatment reduced fruit pithiness, which can be a problem in 'Niitaka' pears. Overall, there was no significant difference between Ge-treated and control fruit qualities, but a combined Ge treatment (fertilization plus foliar application plus trunk injection) slightly improved fruit quality.

N. P. K는 감귤생산에서 가장 많이 사용되어지는 비료로서 이들 각각의 성분은 과실의 품질과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 그 중에서도 가리, 인산은 과실의 크기, 과피두께, 그리고 과실의 산도에 미치는 영향이 크다고 한다. 감귤의 착색촉진에는 제1인산 석회, 제1인산 가리의 엽면살포가 효과가 있다고 알려지고 있으며 최근에 이르러서는 하우스 재배의 토양수분 스트레스에 의한 세균 감소로 수세가 쇠약해지는 등 영양분의 결핍에 의한 생리장해를 예방하기 위하여 엽면시비가 증가하는 추세에 있다. (중략)
