Effect of Agrichemicals during Cultivation on Quality and Shelf-life of Fresh-cut Lettuce

재배과정 중 농약살포 정도가 신선편이 양상추의 품질 및 저장성에 미치는 영향

  • Published : 2009.02.28

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of agrichemicals (A) and low-agrichemicals (LA) during cultivation on the quality characteristics of minimally processed lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) during storage at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. After 10 days of storage, the sugar content analysis showed that LA-treated lettuce ($4.57^{\circ}Brix$) was higher than A-treated lettuce ($3.57^{\circ}Brix$). The major minerals were K, P and Na, and mineral contents were high in A-treated lettuce during 0, 5 and 10 days. However, the sample with LA treatment had higher chlorophyll and vitamin C contents compared with A-treated lettuce. The degree of color was more stable in samples kept at LA treatment than those kept at A treatment. The polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of the LA-treated lettuce was 475.90 unit/g, while the A-treated sample had almost 1.5-fold higher activity. The detection of 48 residual pesticides in samples were not detected on storage 0 day.

특별한 열처리를 하지 않고 주로 생식으로 섭취하는 양상추(Lactuca sativa L.)는 소비자에게 직접 노출되는 부분이 큰 채소로 성장 과정 중 농약처리정도가 최소가공 양상추의 저장 중 품질 변화에 영향을 주는지에 대하여 알아보았다. 저장초기의 양상추 'a'값이 -7.06이었던 것이 10일 동안 저장 했을 때 농약처리구는 -3.54로 큰 폭으로 변화함에 따라 초록빛이 많이 사라졌으나, 저농약처리구는 -5.47로 변화 폭이 적어 양상추의 초록빛이 유지되고 있었다. 당도, chlorophyll, vitamin C의 저장기간 동안 함량의 변화는 저농약처리구가 농약처리구에 비하여 적어 많은 부분 유지되고 있었다. 또한 저장 초기에는 저농약처리구의 경도가 농약처리에 비하여 약하였지만, 저장하는 동안의 경도 변화는 크지 않았다. Polyphenol oxidase 활성은 저장기간 동안 계속적으로 농약처리 양상추의 활성이 뛰어났으며, acetochlor 등 48종의 잔류농약 성분은 모든 처리구에서 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 저장기간 중 품질변화가 적었던 저농약처리 양상추를 이용하여 가공한다면, 더욱 좋은 질의 신선편이 양상추 제품을 소비자들에게 유통시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되어진다.
