Abstract

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), the gaseous ethylene action inhibitor, is an effective compound for delaying post-storage flesh softening of 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits. Conventionally, 1-MCP is treated on fruits in storage room by dissolving SmartFreshTR powder, the 1-MCP generating agent, in water. In this study, the practical methods were positively worked out when a small portion or a dilute of SmartFresh, either stuck on adhesive tape or premixed with silica powder, was enclosed directly into a modified atmosphere (MA) packaged fruit box. The 1-MCP gas was generated from the SmartFresh by absorbing moisture from atmosphere of the package. Treatments by these methods delayed the post-storage softening of 'Fuyu' persimmon as effectively as the conventional method.

에틸렌 작용억제제인 1-MCP는 '부유' 단감의 저장 후 상온 유통 중에 발생하는 과육의 급속한 연화를 방지하는데 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 1-MCP의 관행적인 처리 방법은 가스 기밀도가 높은 저장고에 대량의 과실을 밀폐한 후 SmartFresh$^{TR}$를 물에 녹여 1-MCP 가스를 발생시키는 것이다. 그러나 본 연구에서는, 미량을 쉽게 취할 수 있도록 SmartFresh를 silica 분말과 혼합하여 증량하거나 접착 테이프에 부착한 후 과실 포장 상자에 이를 직접 투여함으로써 공기 중의 수분에 의해 1-MCP를 발생시켜 처리하는 방법을 고안하였다. 이러한 실용적인 1-MCP 처리 방법은 관행적인 처리 방법과 동일한 수준으로 저장 단감의 연화를 억제하는 효과를 보였다.
