The purpose of this study was to compare the storage and post-storage changes of Cheorwon onions and onions for each region. Onion is a perennial plant belonging to the lily family. It is native to Persia of Southwest Asia. It is cultivated much in the temperate regions of the world. Cheorwon area is inland, but it has high continental climate due to its high altitude. Therefore it is said that the onion cultivated in this region has higher sugar content and higher taste than onion grown in southern region. Although the results of onion storage experiments in Cheorwon, Muan, Buan, and Changnyeong regions did not show much difference in weight, width, and height measurements before and after storage, Brix was reduced by approximately 1-2 brix. Before and after storing in each region, Brix was the highest in Cheorwon, Changnyeong, Buan, and Muan, and after saving, onions in Cheorwon were the same order. After each region was stored, the results showed that Cheorwon (112.3g), Muan (106g), Buan (102.1g) and Changnyeong (92.6g) had the highest hardness. Cold storage tests show that onions contain the least amount of corruption in paper boxes, while Cheorwon onions have the lowest level of corruption in other areas.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the change of phenolic compounds after phosphite treatment on Cheorwon onion. Onion is a perennial plant belonging to the lily family. It is native to Persia of Southwest Asia. It is widely cultivated in the temperate regions of the world. Onion is a good name for the 'Okchong' to drop blood cholesterol and cardiovascular blood flow to increase the prevention of adult diseases. Cheorwon area is inland, but it has high continental climate due to its high altitude. Therefore it is said that the onion cultivated in this region has higher sugar content and higher taste than onion grown in the southern region. Phosphorus components are particularly important ingredients for promoting muscle development. However, if the phosphoric acid content of the soil part is maintained to a large extent until the harvest, the competition of the nutrients tends to cause decay of the root part. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality and shelf life of onion by inducing nutrient balance by applying foliar fertilization method on the reducing phosphorus at harvest time. In this study, acidity was controlled by diluting phosphorous acid(H₃PO₃) and potassium hydroxide(KOH), followed by leaf surface treatment with phosphite on onion. In this study, the concentration of phosphite was diluted to 500, 1,000, 1,500ppm and sprayed three times over the onion leaves in May 2018 using an atomizer and harvested at the end of June, and the phenolic compounds were analyzed by HPLC. As a result, the content of quercetin, one of the important substances in onion, was phosphite 500ppm(179.70㎍/g), 1,000(150.27), 1,500(105.95). The contents of caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, rutin, kaempferol, and sugar content were higher in the treatments than in the control. Therefore, the phosphite does not have a great influence on the growth, but it may play a role as a method of achieving balance with nitrogen in the rainy season by supplying the role of the material catalyst and the water soluble phosphoric acid and the potassium in the influence of the material change.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the change of phenolic compounds after bordeaux mixture treatment on Cheorwon onion. Onion is a perennial plant belonging to the lily family. It is native to Persia of Southwest Asia. It is cultivated much in the temperate regions of the world. Onion is a good name for the 'Okchong' to drop blood cholesterol and cardiovascular blood flow to increase the prevention of adult diseases. Cheorwon area is inland, but it has high continental climate due to its high altitude. After the treatment with bordeaux mixture, the weight, width and plant height of the onion were affected to some extent. In the phenolic compounds, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, rutin, and kaempferol except benzoic acid, p-coumaric acid and quercetin were similar to or less than the control. Therefore, it was concluded that the treatment with bordeaux mixture had some effect on onion growth and phenolic compound contents.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the change of phenolic compounds after lime-sulphur mixture treatment on Cheorwon onion. Onion is a perennial plant belonging to the lily family. It is native to Persia of Southwest Asia. It is cultivated much in the temperate regions of the world. Onion is a good name for the 'Okchong' to drop blood cholesterol and cardiovascular blood flow to increase the prevention of adult diseases. Cheorwon area is inland, but it has high continental climate due to its high altitude. After the treatment with lime-sulphur mixture, the weight, width and plant height of the onion were not affected. In the phenolic compounds, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, rutin, p-coumaric acid and kaempferol except benzoic acid and quercetin were similar to or less than the control. Therefore, it was concluded that the treatment with lime-sulphur mixture had some effect on phenolic compound contents, benzoic acid and qurercetin.

양파는 백합과에 속하는 여러해살이풀로 서남아시아의 페르시아가 원산인데 세계 각국의 온대지방에서 많이 재배하고 있다. 양파의 생약명은 옥총(玉憁)으로 피 속의 콜레스테롤을 떨어뜨리고 심장혈관의 혈류량을 증가시켜 성인병 예방에 좋다. 철원지역은 내륙지방이면서도 고도가 높아 기온차가 큰 대륙성 기후의 성격이 강하기 때문에 이 지역에서 재배한 양파는 남부지방에서 재배된 양파보다 당도가 높고 맛도 좋다고 알려져 있다. 인산질 성분은 특히 근의 발육을 촉진시키는 중요한 성분이다. 하지만 토양부의 인산성분이 수확 시까지 다량 지속되면 양분의 경합으로 뿌리부의 부패를 초래하기 쉽다. 따라서 수확기에 환원형 인산질을 중심으로 엽면시비 방법으로 영양균형을 유도하여 양파의 품질과 저장성을 향상시키는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 아인산(H3PO3)과 수산화칼륨(KOH)을 희석하여 산도조절 후, 아인산염으로 철원양파에 엽면 처리한 후 성분을 비교분석하였다. 본 연구에서 아인산염의 농도를 500, 1000, 1500배 희석하여 철원양파에 2018년 5월에 분무기를 이용하여 3회 엽면살포 한 후 6월 말경 수확한 후 HPLC를 이용하여 페놀화합물을 분석하였다. 그 결과 양파에서 중요한 물질 중의 하나인 큐에르세틴(quercetin)함량은 대조구(96.39 ug/g)에 비해 500배(179.70 ug/g), 1000배(150.27 ug/g), 1500배(105.95 ug/g) 처리구에서 높은 함량을 보였다. 또한 caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, rutin, kaempferol, 당도 함량은 처리구에서 대조구보다 높은 함량을 보였다. 따라서 아인산염 처리는 철원양파에서 페놀화합물의 함량을 높이는데 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 아인산염과 같은 환원형 엽면시비법을 이용하여 재배한다면 고품질의 기능성 양파를 생산할 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.
