Pacific oyster, hard clam and mussel were irradiated at doses up to 0.5 Mrad, the optimum dose rather than the maximum permissible was sought for in each species and post-irradiation storage characteristics studied at $0^{\circ}\;and\;5^{\circ}C$. No shellfish meat irradited at doses as high as 0.5 Mrad produced any adverse odor. However the organoleptic quality of each sample irradiated at lower doses was superior to those irradiated at the higher during the early storage period. The optimum dose was determined to be 0.2 Mrad for Pacific oyster and mussel and 0.1 Mrad for hard clam. By irradiating at the optimum dose, the storage life of Pacific oyster cculd be extend from less than 14 days to 35 days at $0^{\circ}C$ and from only 3 days to 21 days at $5^{\circ}C$. A similar storage extension was observed with mussel. The storage life of hard clam was extended from 7 days to 14 days at $0^{\circ}C$ and from 3 days to 12 days at $5^{\circ}C$. The hard clam meats were particularly susceptible to tissue softening by irradiation; an earlier onset and more extensive softening were observed with increasing dose.

채소류는 생리적인 특성상 수확후 저장 및 유통되는 동안에 호흡작용, 증산작용 등의 작용이 활발해질 뿐만 아니라 곰팡이를 비롯한 식물병이 미생물의 오염 및 성장으로 부패현상을 일으키고 채소류 자체의 경도가 저하되며, 수분, 비타민, 유기산, 당분, 색소함량 등이 떨어져서 외관, 맛 신선도 등의 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 채소류(오이, 호박, 방울토마토)의 선도를 연장하기 위한 저장조건을 실시하여 최적 습도 및 온도범위를 결정하였고, 이를 토대로 하여 시설채소산물을 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선 방사체 저장고(5~8$^{\circ}C$의 온도와 90% 습도유지)에 저장하면서 무처리구인 대조구와 비교하여 저장중 시료의 중량손실율, Ascorbic acid함량, 총균수(PCA사용법에 의거), pH의 변화를 측정하였고, 시료의 표면색도는 색도계(Minolta CR-300, Japan)를 사용하여 Hunter의 L, a, b값을 측정하였다. 이 결과, 채소류의 선도유지기간이 연장되는 것을 확인하였고, 중량손실율은 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장한 채소류가 중량손실율이 대조구에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 채소류를 저장함으로서 채소류의 수분손실을 방지할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 일정기간동안 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장함으로써 ascorbic acid함량의 감소를 대조구에 비하여 낮은 비율로 억제할 수 있었다. 총균수의 경우 채소류 시험구에서 원적외선 방사체 저장고에서 저장할수록 오염미생물의 총균수가 낮게 나타났다. 표면색도의 경우, a값은 모든 시험구에서 감소하였으며 원적외선 방사체 시험구에 비하여 대조구 저장시료의 표면색도가 청색도를 증가시키는 변화를 관찰할 수 있었고, b값은 시료간에 유의성 있는 차이없이 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 부패율은 수분 함유율이 높은 채소류일수록 원적외선 방사체 저장시설을 이용하는 경우, 부패율을 낮게 유지할 수 있었다. 따라서, 원적외선 방사체 저장시설내에 오이, 호박 및 방울토마토와 같은 채소류를 저온고습도상에서 저장할 경우, 채소류의 품질변화를 최소화 할 수 있어 갓 수확한 채소류의 선도유지기간을 연장할 수 있는 저장법이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Precooling and improved packing of mushrooms were investigated with a view to prolonging their freshness. Harvested mushrooms were precooled by forced air cooling and then packed in an EPS container. Mushrooms were transported to customers by insulated truck and stored at either $10^{\circ}C\;or\;25^{\circ}C$. Conventionally packed mushrooms in cartons were also examined as controls. Mushroom respiration rate slowly fell 2- to 3-fold upon precooling. Weight loss was decreased by precooling and the use of the insulated pack. Also, the L-value of the mushroom surface remained high with precooling, and mushroom elongation was less than in the control. Summer market life was extended to 3-4 days (from 1-2 days) by the improved distribution method.

Vacuum cooling of crisphead lettuce by pilot-scale vacuum cooling apparatus, transportation under the conventional and cold-chain systems and distribution were carried out for its freshness prolongation and application of cold-chain system for fresh fruits and vegetables. Changes in temperatures of crisphead lettuce were also measured during transportation. $Q_{10}$ value for respiration rate of crisphead lettuce was $1.7{\sim}2.4$ and its initial freezing point was $-0.2^{\circ}C$. Cooling the vegetable to $0^{\circ}C$ was possible in less than 30 minutes by vacuum cooling. The shelf-life was extended by more than 90% by the combination of vacuum cooling and low temperature distribution.

에틸렌 작용억제제인 1-MCP(1-methylcyclopropene) 처리에 따른 토마토의 선도연장효과를 검정하기 위해 본 연구는 수행되었다. 토마토“슈퍼도태랑(Supermomotaro)”품종을 Mature green 단계에서 수화한 다음 1-MCP를 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 250, 500, 및 1000ppb 의 농도로 4시간 동안 처리후 온도 2$0^{\circ}C$, 90% RH 조건에 저장하면서 에틸렌 발생, 호흡량 및 품질특성 변화를 조사하였다. 토마토의 에틸렌 발생은 모든 처리구에서 저장 2일째 급등하는 경향을 보였는데, 1-MCP 처리구는 무처리에 비해 그 급등정도가 낮았으며, 호흡량 또한 1-MCP 처리에 의해 효과적으로 억제되었다. 특히 처리 2일 후부터 무처리에 비해 2배정도 낮은 호흡량을 나타냈다. 과피의 착색진행 정도를 Hunter color의 적색도“a”값으로 비교한 결과, 무처리는 2일부터 6일까지 빠르게 증가하였지만 1-MCP 처리구는 그 증가 속도가 낮았으며, 처리농도가 높을수록“a”값의 변화가 적은 경향을 보였다. 또한 황색도“b”값의 비교에 있어서도 1-MCP 처리구가 무처리에 비해 그 변화가 적었다. 경도는 무처리에서 2일 후에 급격히 감소하는데 비해 1-MCP처리에서는 4일까지 그 감소 폭이 적었으며, 1-MCP처리 농도별 차이는 크지 않았다. 부패과 발생은 무처리와 500ppb 처리에서 비슷한 수준이었으며, 1000ppb 처리에서는 오히려 무처리에 비해 부패율이 높아 고농도 처리에 의한 장해로 판단되었다. 그러나 250ppb 처리는 무처리에 비해 부패율이 적게 나타났다.

The improvement of distribution system and freshness prolongation of crisphead lettuce were carried out through vacuum cooling and distribution under the low temperature. Lettuce that vacuum-cooled and transported by cold storage car was shown better freshness than that distributed by conventional method when they arrived at cunsuming area. And it took $10{\sim}17$ hours until their temperatures arrived at same temperatures when they were stored at $0{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ cold storage room. It was cooled to $1^{\circ}C$ after 27 minutes with vacuum cooling apparatus. The weight loss of lettuce that vacuum cooled and transported by cold storage car was below 5% after 30 days cold storage. And ascorbic acid and chlorophyll retentions were 86% and 52%, respectively. The shelf-life of crisphead lettuce, distributed by vacuum cooling and cold storage car transportation, was 5 days at $15^{\circ}C$ and over 40 days at $0^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, when it was distributed by conventional method, it was only 3 days at $15^{\circ}C$ and 20 days at $0^{\circ}C$, respectively.
