In recent years, the bagging cultivation of summer squash (Cucurbita moschata) is applied for surface protection during harvest and extension of storage period. In this study, the effect of plastic bagging cultivation of summer squash on improvement of quality and extension of storage period was investigated. The yield and the length of fruit didn't have no difference between bagging and control treatment but the bagging treatment significantly made more regular size and light weight of fruits, and increased the number of fruits because of the limitation of their growth. The bagging treatment decreased weight loss and fruit softening during the their storage. Therefore it showed effective means for quality improvement and storage extension of summer squash.

Causal factors related to the skin disorder such as black stains during cold storage of 'Niitaka' pear fruit are of great importance to solve the postharvest disorder problems. The morphological and biochemical changes observe of pear skin affected by different harvest times and storage environments. Occurrence rate of black stain in 'Niitaka' pear fruit was the highest in newspaper bagging with 75% among various bagging materials at harvest time because of the high relative humidity within the double layer paper bags. During cold storage, the rate was 54～100% in 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ polyethylene (PE) film packaging. As the harvest time was postponed, the rate increasedduring cold stoinge. The into was 1.5 to 2.4 times higher in pears harvested in late September than in those harvested in early and mid October. There was no significant difference in occurrence of black stain fruit between the 30 and 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$ PE film bags. The causal fungus of the black stain pear was assumed as Gloeodes pomigena (Schweintz, 1920). The treatment of 0.1～0.5 ppm ozone gas prevented the occurrence of the pear fruit black stain until 180 days after cold storage. The ozone treatment on the affected fruit was also effective in preventing the progress of the black stain.

This experiment was conducted to elucidate the effects of fruit bagging on the amounts of pesticide residues on/in pears with two pesticides, chlorpyrifos 25% WP, and penconazole 5% WP, and two pear cultivars, Niitaka and Hwangeum-bae. Residues of chlorpyrifos and penconazole in bagged pears were only $0.4{\sim}27%$ of those in non-bagged one. Residues of both pesticides in bagged and non-bagged pears were steeply reduced in the field but slowly reduced during storage. Residues of chlorpyrifos were more in the peel than in the flesh, while penconazole in bagged pear was evenly distributed in the peel and flesh. Chlorpyrifos was evenly distributed in outer bag and inner bag irrespective of bag materials, while most of penconazole was found in outer bag rather than in inner bag. To produce safer pear from pesticide residues, removal of bag before storage is recommended.

The effect of pre-storage treatments was investigated to control the occurrence of fruit skin stain in 'Niitaka' pears. The incidence of fruit skin stains was significantly reduced when the fruits were stored in paper bags with a yellow inner color, compared to when they were stored in paper bags with blue and red inner colors. Additionally, the pear fruits that were harvested seven days earlier than their optimum maturity date developed less fruit skin stains in cold storage and retained their quality. Storage in polyethylene (PE) bags did not control the occurrence of fruit skin stains as effectively as did bag-free storage or storage in calcium-coated bags. The dipping of the pear fruits in a chlorine dioxide and calcium solution was highly effective in reducing the fruit skin stains compared to when they were not dipped or when they were dipped only in distilled water. In particular, a 1,500 times diluted solution of sodium dichloroisocyannurate (NaDCC) reduced the incidence of fruit skin stains and the size of the lesions. No stain was observed on the skin of the fruit with a water content lower than 67.7% (w/v) during its storage. In conclusion, packaging pear fruits in bags with an inner calcium coat and dipping them in a chlorine dioxide, calcium, or NaDCC solution can effectively reduce their skin stains during their storage.

'Fuyu' persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) were seal-packaged in $60{\mu}m$ polyethylene (PE) film bags with various $O_2$ and $CO_2$ combinations (0% $O_2$+5% $CO_2$, 2% $O_2$+5% $CO_2$, 2% $O_2$+8% $CO_2$, 5% $O_2$+5% $CO_2$, 5% $O_2$+10% $CO_2$), and in vacuum and air. They were then stored at $-0.5^{\circ}C$ for 95 days. Changes in fruit weight, firmness, soluble solids, Hunter L and a values, $CO_2$ concentrations, and marketability were investigated at 20-day intervals. A combination of 2% $O_2$ and 5% $CO_2$ as well as the vacuum treatment were effective in maintaining firmness, soluble solids, marketability, and Hunter a value of 'Fuyu' fruits. On the other hand, the treatment of 2% $O_2$ combined with 8% $CO_2$ and vacuum treatment were effective in maintaining fresh weight and Hunter L and a values. The highest marketable quality was maintained when the fruits were vacuum-sealed, although fruits softened severely in the area where two fruits contacted with each other.

Model for optimally dimensioned PE film bag was developed according to fruit size to maintain best quality of 'Fuyu' persimmon in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) storage based on relationship between quality and oxygen and carbon dioxide in PE film bag. Harvested persimmons were graded into five sizes, and average weights were LL:261, L:217, M:188, S:168, and SS:154 g. Five fruit units of each grade were optimized in five PE film bag sizes of $150{\times}376,\;140{\times}357,\;130{\times}344,\;130{\times}333,\;and\;120{\times}3l8\;mm$. To minimize quality deterioration such as softening and discoloration, optimal oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in PE film bag were 0.5-1.0 and 6.0-8.0%, respectively, and optimal thickness of PE film bag according to fruit size were LL:45, L:50, M:55, S:60, and $SS:65\;{\mu}m$. For all fruit sizes, model for PE film bag area $(mm^2)$ was good quadratic simple equation by fruit weight (g): $Y=-4055.707+627.993X_1-0.701{X_1}^2$. Model far optimal oxygen and carbon dioxide (Y) concentration in PE film bag was suited to linear multiple equation by fruit weight $(X_1,\;g)$ and PE film thickness $(X_2,\;{\mu}m)$. Equations for oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations (%) were $Y=5.798-0.0109X_l-0.0491X_2\;and\;Y=-2.427+0.01927X_l +0.09646X_2$, respectively.

The effect of packaging methods on the quality characteristics of leaf lettuces was studied during storage at low temperature. Using five commercial packaging types: non-perforated PP (polypropylene) film bags, PP film roll, perforated PP film bags, PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) trays, and micro-perforated LDPE film bags, changes in color, respiration rate, and weight loss of leaf lettuces were investigated. Packaging in non-perforated PP film bags minimized color change and weight loss during storage. The leaf lettuces packaged in non-perforated PP film bags, among the five packaging choices, showed good external appearance and offered the greatest sale potential in the domestic market. However, there were no clear differences in the respiration rates of lettuces packed in various ways. The PET tray afforded very good protection of leaf lettuces from physical damage. The results indicate that the marketability of lettuces may be directly affected by the packaging modes employed, and that the optimal packaging may be non-perforated PP film bags; these keep lettuces fresh during low-temperature storage.

복숭아는 다른 과일에 비해 조직이 연약하고 저장성이 매우 낮은 여름철 과일이므로 선별, 포장 및 유통과정에 세심한 주의가 필요하다. 따라서 출하.유통시 선도를 유지시켜 유통기한을 연장시킨다면 경제적 효과가 클 것이다. 국내에서 일반화되어 있는 PE필름 밀봉 저장방식은 과실의 호흡에 의해 산소농도의 감소와 이산화탄소의 증가로 호흡이 억제되고, 이에 따라 노화가 지연됨으로 과실의 저장수명을 증가시키는 방식이며, PE필름내 기체조성에 영향을 미치는 요소는 필름의 두께와 저장온도이고 저장온도가 필름의 두께, 즉 MA효과보다 과실연화에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이는 필름의 두께가 얇을수록 봉지 내 산소농도가 높아져 호흡대사를 촉진하기 때문인 것으로 이해된다. 과육의 연화가 시작되면서 이취를 유발하는 아세트알데히드와 에탄올의 축적이 증가한다고 보고되고 있고 이는 저장고 내 고농도의 이산화탄소 처리 시에 나타난다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 상온 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 복숭아를 0.05mm LDPE필름으로 포장하여 경도, 당도, pH를 측정하였으며 $O_2$(1, 3, 5%), $CO_2$(5, 10, 15%)를 9구분으로 환경기체를 조성하고 중심합성계획법에 의해 반응 표면분석(RSM)을 하였고 갈변도검사 결과와 함께 종합적으로 복숭아저장에 필요한 최적조건을 규명하고자 하였다.

Packaging bags and corrugated boxes prepared from newly developed antimicrobial packaging paper had greater ability to prolong freshness of packed fruits, and lower weight loss of fruits and microbial growth than non-treated bags and boxes. Addition of zeolite to paper greatly increased absorbance of aging hormone, $C_{2}H_{4}$, emitted from stored fruits, and contributed to decrease in putrefied fruits during storage. Water repellent agent such as alkyl ketone dimer played significant role in preventing functional paper from absorbing water from stored fruits, leading to preservation of fresh weight in stored fruits. Because rise in production cost of functional packaging paper could be offset by reduction of fruit and vegetable wastes, storing fruits and vegetables in functional paper containers was more economical than storing in non-treated containers.

느타리버섯은 전남 장흥군에서 병재배로 재배된 '곤지 7호' 느타리버섯 품종을 $3^{\circ}C$에서 1일간 냉각시킨 후 실험에 사용하였다. 이산화탄소 처리는 10mm 두께의 아크릴로 제작한 밀폐 챔버($40{\times}70{\times}40cm$)를 이용하여 CO2가스를 주입하여 내부의 CO2 농도를 $30{\pm}1%$로 조정하여 3시간 동안 밀폐시켰으며 $3^{\circ}C$ 저온 저장고에서 수행하였다. 처리 후 포장필름은 3처리로 하여 PVC랩, 재배농가에서 이용하는 필름인 $20{\mu}m$ OPP필름, $30{\mu}m$ OPP필름을 재료로 하여 산소투과율을 $5,000cc/m2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$로 조정한 필름(OPP5)을 사용하였다. PVC랩 처리는 스티로폼 트레이에 옮긴 후 균일하게 한 겹으로 둘렀고, OPP와 OPP5는 봉지에 옮겨 봉지 입구 4cm 안쪽을 비닐접착기로 열접착하여 밀봉하였으며 $3^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 필름내부의 기체조성, 경도, 색도, 이취, 종합선도 변화를 조사하였다. 포장된 느타리버섯의 포장재 내 이산화탄소 농도는 저장초기 0.03%에서 점차 증가하여 저장 3일 후 PVC랩은 3.5~3.9%, 나머지 처리는 18%이상으로 증가하였으며 OPP필름보다 OPP5필름의 경우 포장재 내 이산화탄소 농도가 더 낮게 유지되었다. 생체중 감소는 PVC랩에서 저장 26일 후 9.9% 이하로 육안으로 보이는 시들음이 관찰되었으며 나머지 처리들은 저장 26일 후까지 1.6% 이하의 중량감소율을 보였다. 느타리버섯 갓 경도는 유지되었으며 줄기표면의 황색도 $b^*$값은 PVC랩에서는 증가 경향을, OPP나 OPP5에서는 유지 경향을 보였다. 느타리버섯의 이취 및 전체적인 품질은 무처리 후 PVC랩 포장은 저장 6일 후에 이취가 상품성 한계로 발생하였고 OPP5 포장은 포장재 중 가장 이취발생이 늦게 발생하였으며 CO2 처리에 의해 지연되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이런 결과를 종합하여 느타리버섯의 $3^{\circ}C$ 저장 중 품질유지기간은 각 PVC랩(6일) ${\rightarrow}$ 30% CO2+PVC랩(7일) ${\rightarrow}$ OPP(10일) ${\rightarrow}$ 30% CO2+OPP(17일) ${\rightarrow}$ OPP5(20일) ${\rightarrow}$ 30% CO2+OPP5(22일)로 조사되었다. CO2처리 후 산소투과율을 $5,000cc/m2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$으로 조정한 미세천공(OPP5)필름이 가장 높은 전체적 품질점수를 나타내었으며 상대적으로 낮은 이취발생, 갈변과 갓무름이 적어 높은 점수를 얻는데 영향을 준 것으로 보인다.
