  • In sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) growing there are several severe problem which have to be overcome to produce highly graded fruits because of fruit rots and fruit crackings, if there is frequent precipitation during immature fruit step and picking season. In order to reduce fungicide sprayings and produce qualified fruits in areas with rainy season like as South Korea, rain-sheltered growing is necessary absolutely. Sweet cherry blooms early to medium April in southern area of South Korea. If we depend on honeybees (Apis mellifera) distributed in natural ecosystem, it is not easy to get normal fruit-set every season because of low temperature around blooming time. And also bee keepers seldom sell honeybee hives as a pollinator during spring, instead they keep honeybee hives to get honey. Recently use of B. terrestris as a pollinator of cherry tomato, oriental pumpkin etc. grown in protected cultivation system increase abundantly. Therefore, in this study we studied B. terrestris as an alternate of honeybee to pollinate sweet cherry grown in rain shelter. In part of foraging activity B. terrestris shows staying on a cherry flower for about six second and visiting frequency of 11 flowers per minute. However A. mellifera stayed about 15 second on a flower and visited 4~5 flowers per minute. There were no significant difference in fruit-setting rate and fruit characteristics after using B. terrestris and A. mellifera as pollinators of sweet cherry. Consequently there is no negative effect when we use B. terrestris as an alternate pollinator of A. mellifera in sweet cherry cultivation under rain shelter.

  • Purpose: The aim of this work was to study the change in antioxidant activity depending on storage temperature and storage period in romaine and cherry. Method: The plant material was stored at $0.7{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C$, $3.5{\pm}2.8^{\circ}C$, and $4.7{\pm}1.4^{\circ}C$. Cherry and romaine were stored for a period of 9 days and 7 days, respectively. The cherry was taken from each group of samples at regular intervals of days and the romaine was taken from each group of samples at regular intervals of 2days. Vitamin C, total polyphenol, and total flavonoid stability and antioxidant capacity including DPPH, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were measured. Results: For cherry, the levels of TAC and flavonoid were higher at the $0.7{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C$ condition than other conditions (p < 0.05). The polyphenol and vitamin C levels were not significantly different among storage conditions. In the case of romaine, the level of TAC was highly preserved until 7 days at the $0.7{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C$ condition. Vitamin C level was significantly lower at the $3.5{\pm}2.8^{\circ}C$ condition (p < 0.05). DPPH activity was highest at the $0.7{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C$ condition (p < 0.05). DPPH activity was shown in order of $0.7{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C>4.7{\pm}1.4^{\circ}C>3.5{\pm}2.8^{\circ}C$. Conclusion: The results indicated that the narrow differences and fluctuation in temperature were associated with antioxidant capacity and it might enhance the nutritional shelf life of vegetables and fruits.

  • The effects of a combined treatment of aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) and ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation on microbial growth in celery and cherries were investigated. Celery and cherry samples were treated with 50 ppm $ClO_2$, UV-C at dose of 10 kJ/$m^2$, and a combination of $ClO_2$ and UV-C. The changes in the counts of Escherichia coli O157:H7 inoculated in the celery and cherries as well as those of total aerobic bacteria, yeast and molds in the celery and cherries were investigated after each treatment. After the combined treatment of aqueous $ClO_2$ and UV-C irradiation, the populations of E. coli O157:H7 in the inoculated celery and cherries were reduced by 2.8 and 3.0 log CFU/g, respectively, compared to those of the control. For the un-inoculated celery and cherries, the populations of total aerobic bacteria were reduced by 2.9 and 1.8 log CFU/g, respectively, compared to the control. In addition, the populations of yeast and molds were decreased by 1.8 and 1.2 log CFU/g, respectively. These results suggest that the combined treatment of 50 ppm $ClO_2$ and UV-C at a dose of 10 kJ/$m^2$ would be an effective technology for decontamination and improving the microbiological safety in celery and cherries during chilled storage.
