Abstract

This study was conducted to compare the postharvest physiological characteristics of 2 paprika cultivars; 'Special', 'Fiesta' grown in 2 regions: Chuncheon(plain region) and Hwacheon(semi-high land region), and by 2 cultural methods; soil and hydroponic(rock wool culture). Respiratory rate of paprika fruit was higher in soil culture, and ethylene production was higher in Chuncheon region of both cultivars. As the thickness of fruit flesh showed thicker in Hwacheon region and hydroponic culture, the firmness of fruit was in proportion to thickness. Vitamin C content was higher in red-cultivar, 'Special'. and in Chuncheon region. Soluble solids was higher in 'Special', but there was no different between cultural regions. The fruit of both cultivars was grown smaller in Chuncheon region, and the fruit shape of 'Fiesta' progressed faster in soil culture. The surface color of fruit was higher in Hwacheon, and although there was no significantly different between cultural method, both cultivars grown by hydroponics was shown vivid color. As above results, for the long term circulation and high quality of fruit, paprika may be cultivated by hydroponics in high-altitude region.

Special'과 'Fiesta' 두 품종의 파프리카를 평탄지인 춘천과 준 고랭지인 화천에서 재배한 재배 처리와 암면 수경재배와 토경재배를 한 재배방법 처리에 따른 수확후 생리 양상과 품질을 비교하였다. 호흡속도는 두 품종 모두 토양 재배에서 높았으나 재배지역별로 차이가 없었다. 에틸렌 발생량은 두 품종 모두 춘천 지역에서 높았으나 재배방법로는 차이가 없었다. 과육 두께는 품종별 차이는 없었으나, 화천 지역과 수경재배방법에서 두꺼웠으며 이에 비례하여 경도도 차이를 보였다. 비타민 C는 적색 품종인 'Special'이 높았으며, 재배 지역별로는 춘천이 높았으나 방법별로는 일정한 경향이 없었다. 당도 역시 'Special'이 높았으나 재배지역이나 재배방법별 일정한 경향이 없었다. 과실의 크기는 춘천지역에서 작았으며, 과형은 'Fiesta'가 토양재배에서 과장이 크게 증가하였다. 과피 색은 화천지역에서 높게 나타났으며 재배 방법별 차이에는 통계적 유의성이 없었다. 이상의 결과로 고은기에 고품질 파프리카 생산과 장기 유통을 위해서는 고위도지역에서 수경재배하는 것이 유리하리라 생각된다.
