This investigation assessed the berry quality after two months of low-temperature storage (3 ± 1℃) of 'Shine Muscat' grapes, which were treated with CPPU (N-[2-chloro-4-pyridyl]-N'-phenylurea) or TDZ (1-phenyl-3-[1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl] urea) in combination with gibbrellic acid (GA₃). The berry shatter rate was the lowest (1%) in 4 cm + CPPU treatment, while it was the highest (2.4%) in 3 cm floral length treated with CPPU. On the other hand, the 4 cm + TDZ treatment resulted in a shatter rate of 2.0%, which was twice as high as that observed after 4 cm + CPPU treatment. The 4 cm + TDZ treatment resulted in a 5.5% berry decay rate, which was the highest among all treatments. Alternatives to using a sulfur dioxide (SD) pad to maintain the quality of 'Shine Muscat' grapes, namely, using ethylene scrubbers (ESs, 3 g × 2 sachet) and alcohol releasers (ARs, 2 g × 2 sachet) in a 2 kg carton package for export, were explored in this study. The berry shatter rate with ES treatment (1.0%) was found to be comparable to that with SD treatment (0.6%) during three months of cold storage. Regarding the berry decay rate, that of the untreated control surged to 36.0% in the three months of storage, followed by 19.9% and 15.5% in samples subjected to AR and ES treatments respectively. Compared with the untreated control, the samples subjected to SD treatment showed a decay rate of 2.2%, which was the most effective in reducing berry decay by 95%. These results demonstrated that SD pad treatment of 'Shine Muscat' grapes was the most effective method of maintaining berry quality, and ES treatment partially reduced the berry shatter and berry decay rates.

As a result of analyzing the quality of imported grapes during the 2018 season, the hardness of the grape berry was found to be 10 N or less in total. In the case of Chilean grapes, the soluble solids tended to be lower as imports and distribution periods were delayed. The berry weight was the largest at 14.4 - 14.8 g for the 'Red Globe', 7.1 - 7.4 g for the 'Thompson Seedless' and 6.0 - 7.0 g for the 'Crimson Seedless'. The 'Crimson Seedless' grapes imported from Chile, which had a high berry shatter rate, had a shorter pedicel length, pad width and brush length than that of the other 2 varieties. Regardless of the grape varieties, the weight loss during the distribution at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) increased rapidly as the import season was delayed. Additionally, it was found that the later the distribution seasons, a higher stem browning index was observed regardless of the variety. The 'Thompson Seedless' was revealed to be more susceptible to browning than that of the other varieties. The shrinkage of the stem and the pedicel browning progressed within a short time during shelf-life as the distribution time was delayed. The incidence of berry decay of the imported grapes tended to increase with the progression of the distribution period. In the fruits distributed on April, except for the 'Crimson Seedless', the grapes were rapidly corrupted in the second half of the distribution. The 'Red Globe' grapes completely lost marketability due to a berry decay of 26.1% and 69.9% at 9 and 12 days after shelf-life, respectively.

'Shine Muscat' (Vitis labruscana Bailey x Vitis vinifera L.) grapes recently have been greatly favored in Korea, and as of 2022, account for 38.6% of the total grape market in Korea. However, there is a lack of research on post-harvest quality control appropriate to the unique characteristics of 'Shine Muscat'. In order to continuously increase domestic demand and exports in the future, it is essential to establish proper postharvest techniques. Essential oils have remarkable potential as biologically active and environmentally friendly antiseptics for the fruit industry. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of essential oils and aroma constituent treatment on fruit quality attributes of 'Shine Muscat' grapes in order to extend fruit quality during a simulated export period. A cluster of 'Shine Muscat' grapes was placed in a newly developed paper box container, and treated with rosemary essential oil, thyme essential oil, and linalool, along with an untreated control. The results showed no significant effect on fruit quality indices, such as cluster weight loss, berry firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, sugar acid ratio, and color change, but showed a positive effect on the alleviation of berry shatter compared to the untreated control. In addition, rosemary oil treatment reduced the proportion of unhealthy berries. Therefore, the results indicated that the newly developed packaging container along with certain essential oil treatment could be applied as a promising packaging material for table grape export.

This study investigated the effects of an ethylene scrubber (ES) with a micro-perforated polypropylene (MP-PP, 30 ㎛) or a high density polyethylene (MP-HDPE, 30 ㎛) film liner for the export carton packaging box in 'Campbell Early' grapes. Rachis browning was highest in the untreated group, followed by MP-PP and MP-HDPE for 14 days of simulated marketing at 20℃. The combination treatment of ES with the film liners showed a partial inhibition of the rachis browning regardless of the film liners. The effects of an alcohol releaser (AR) sachet or chlorine dioxide (CD) diffuser co-packaging were also investigated in the 'Campbell Early' grapes packed with the MP-HDPE (40 × 99 pin hole·m^-2) film liner. The CD 1 g treatment showed a very limited weight loss of 1.1%, which was significantly lower than the 4.7% of the untreated control after 14 days of simulation marketing at 20℃. The berry shatter was 0.7% for the MP-HDPE + CD 1 g treatment and 1.8% for the MP-HDPE + CD 5 g treatment on the 10th day of the simulated marketing, which was significantly lower than the 8.9% of the control. The stem browning was significant suppressed until the 10th day of the simulated marketing. In particular, the CD 1 g treatment in combination with the MP-HDPE showed a low rachis and pedicel browning index of 2.0, which is 50% and 40% lower than that of the untreated control and the MP-HDPE single treatment, respectively. In addition, the CD 1 g treatment group showed a higher decay reduction effect than the CD 5 g treatment group, which caused high concentration damage.

개량머루의 과립 크기와 생산량을 증가시키기 위한 $GA_3$와 TDZ 처리의 효과와 적정 처리 농도를 구명하기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. $GA_3$ 처리는 모든 처리구에서 모두 과립 비대 효과를 보였으며 100과 $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구의 과립이 가장 컸다. 또한 $GA_3$ 처리구는 착립수가 증가하여 과방중이 크게 생산되었으나 당도 및 산도에 전혀 차이가 없었다. $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구에서 과피 오염 및 탈립과 같은 약해가 발생되었다. $GA_3$와 TDZ 혼용 처리에서는 $GA_3$ 혹은 TDZ의 농도가 높은 처리구의 과립이 크기는 크지만 과실의 성숙이 지연되어 당도가 낮고 산도가 높은 과실이 수확되었다. $GA_3$와 TDZ를 처리했을 때 과피 조직은 세포층수에는 변화 없이 유관속 조직까지의 길이가 증가하였다. 따라서 개량머루의 $GA_3$ 와 TDZ처리는 세포 분열에는 영향 없이 세포 크기가 증가됨으로 인해 과립 크기가 증가하였다. 개량머루는 착립이 결정되는 시기가 짧기 때문에 착립 직후 2~3회에 나누어 처리해야 착립률을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 개량머루의 과립 비대와 착립률을 향상시키기 위해서는 $GA_3$ $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 이하의 단독 처리 혹은 $GA_3$ 50+TDZ $1.25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 혼용 처리가 적합할 것으로 판단되었고 TDZ 처리에 의해 과실의 성숙이 지연되므로 성숙과를 수확하도록 주의해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 솔방울을 새로운 천연 식물자원으로서의 이용 가치를 평가하기 위해 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물의 항산화 활성과 DNA 손상억제 효과를 조사하였다. 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물의 DPPH, Fe²⁺ 킬레이팅 및 환원력 활성은 대조군인 L-ascorbic acid와 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. 특히 ABTS 소거 활성의 IC₅₀값은 L-ascorbic acid (10.49 ㎍/㎖)에 비해 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물(7.80 ㎍/㎖)이 더욱 높은 활성을 보였다. 또한 총페놀성 화합물과 비타민 C 함량은 각각 27.3 ㎎/g, 1.8 ㎎/g로 나타났다. Hydroxyl radical과 fenton reaction에 의한 산화적 DNA 손상억제 효과는 모든 농도에서 50% 이상의 높은 손상 억제 효과를 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 통한 솔방울 ethyl acetate 분획물의 항산화 활성과 산화적 DNA 손상 억제 효과 입증은 다소 부가가치가 낮게 평가되어온 솔방울은 식품이나 천연 의약품 분야에 새로운 천연소재로써의 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다.
