기능성 MA필름을 생산하여 이를 골판지 상자의 내부에 첨합시킨 FC상자의 활용가능성을 조사하고자 골판지 상자와 기능성 MA필름을 골판지 상자 내부의 1면당 5곳씩 첨합시킨 FC포장구와 LDPE 및 기능성필름으로 토마토를 포장하여 $25^{circ}C$에 저장하여 품질변화를 조사한 결과, FC 상자와 LD와 CE 포장구는 대조구 보다는 중량감소율이 현저히 낮았으며 비타민 C의 함량도 14% 높게 유지되고 있었다. 산도는 포장구들간에는 큰 차이가 없었고 당도는 FC 포장구 보다 대조구에서 19% 더 높아 그만큼 품질 변화가 일어난 것으로 판단되었다. 외관 및 부패를 조사한 결과 대조구에 비해 개발 포장구에서 품질이 더 높게 유지되고 있어 FC 포장재를 토마토 포장용 상자로 활용 가능성이 확인되었다.
This study was measured weight loss, total ascorbic acid, titratable acidity, and soluble solids content and overall appearances to investigate the effect of FC(corrugated fiberboard box laminated with functional MA film)box, LDPE film, CE(functional MA film)pouches and double wall corrugated fiberboard box during storage at $20^{circ}C$. Weight loss of tomato packed with control, LDPE, CE and FC box at $25^{circ}C$ after 7 days were 5.3%, 1.5%, 1.3%, and 1.5%, respectively. Weight loss of control was 3.8% higher than that of FC box. Total ascorbic acid content(TAA) of tomato after 7. days, control was 6.89 mg%, LDPE was 8.62 and CE was 8.53mg%, FC was 8.42mg%. TAA of LDPE, CE and FC was higher than that of control. Titratable acidity of tomato packed with LDPE, FC and CE was higher than that of control. Overall appearances of tomato packed with LDPE, CE and FC was better than that of control. Functional MA film laminated in corrugated paperboard box(FC) showed to be able to used as a packaging box of tomato.
