Abstract

To investigate pertinent packaging treatment of fresh-cut potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), potato cubes were subjected to passive, gas exchange, and vacuum packaging conditions. Low density polyethylene film (LDPE), polypropylene film (PP), anti-fogging film (AP), and perforated film (PF) were used as passive packaging treatments. Mixed gases of 5% $CO_2/5%\;O_2$ (MA1) and 10% $CO_2/5%\;O_2$ (MA2) were applied as gas exchange packaging. Packs filled with cubes were kept at $5^{\circ}C$, and changes in weight loss, surface color, vitamin C content and sensory quality of cubes were analyzed during storage. Respiration rate of cubes was 2.11 times higher than that of intact raw potatoes at $5^{\circ}C$. Gas concentrations in passive packaging was maintained at 1-2% $O_2$ and 4-14% $CO_2$ after 7 days. Gas levels changed depending on films used. Cubes packed in PP and MA2 showed lowest weight loss and browning during storage. Firmness of cubes was not affected by packaging treatment. Vitamin C content was highest in cubes packed with AF. Cubes packed in MA2 showed highest quality upto 10days storage, followed by those packed in PP and AF.

감자절편의 포장재 및 포장방법에 따른 저장 중 품질 변화를 조사하였다. 감자절편을 무포장, polyethylene film(PE), polypropylene film(PP), anti-fogging film(AF), perforated film(PF)을 이용한 일반 MA포장과 Nylon/PP film을 이용한 가스치환포장(MA1, MA2) 및 진공(VF)포장을 한 후 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 중량감소, 표면색, 비타민 C 함량 및 관능적 품질변화를 조사하였다. 저장 중 감자의 호흡률은 절단 한 것이 절단하지 않은 것에 비하여 2.11배 높았다. 포장 내 기체조성은 밀봉 7일 이후부터 $O_2$농도는 1-2% 내외로 안정되었고, $CO_2$농도는 포장재질에 따라서 4-14% 범위를 유지하였다. 중량감소와 갈변발생은 PP 포장구와 MA2 포장구에서 적었고, 경도는 포장구간에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않으며, 비타민 C 함량은 AF포장구에서 가장 적은 변화를 나타내었다. 관능적 품질은 MA2 포장구가 저장 10일까지 가장 우수하였으며, 그 다음에 PP포장구 및 AF포장구순으로 우수하였다.
