Abstract

For increasing shelf-life, melons with different washing and packaging were evaluated during storage at room temperature. Hardness and weight of melon was decreased during storage period and, after 12 days, severe rotten or decay appeared on melons except melon with ozone-water. Organoleptic test on color, appearance, taste and texture showed maximum values on melons eith ozone-water washing. Particularly, spots have been shown on all packaged melons in the later storage, except melons washed with ozone-water. According to these results, ozone-water washing was effective for keeping the high quality of melons.

저장 중 포장 참외의 품질 유지를 위하여 포장과 세척방법을 달리하면서 참외에 대한 품질 평가를 실시한 결과, 저장기간의 경과에 따라 중량 및 경도는 감소하였으며 저장 12일 후부터는 오존수를 이용하여 세척한 처리구를 제외한 모든 구에서 심한 부패 및 손상이 발견되었다. 또한 관능평가 결과, 오존수 세척구에서 색, 외관, 맛, 조직감 모두 가장 높은 점수를 얻었으며 저장 후기에도 반점이 거의 생성되지 않고 부패정도가 가장 미비하여 외관에 대한 우수한 관능적 평가를 얻었다. 따라서 오존수 세척 후 통기성 있도록 박스포장을 하는 것이 참외의 유통 중 품질 유지에 효과적이라고 사료된다.
