주요 수출버섯인 큰느타리버섯의 신선도유지에 적합한 포장량 및 포장재 산소투과도를 설정하기 위해 저온 저장기간 중 품질변화를 분석한 결과, 포장량 및 포장재 산소투과도에 따른 저장기간 중 중량감모율 변화는 차이없었으며, 갓신장율은 포장량 200 g일 경우 산소투과율이 높을수록 저장기간이 길수록 증가하였으나, 400 g 처리는 산소투과도 3,000 $cc/m^2$, 24 h, atm일 때 가장 낮았다. 포장재 내부의 $O_2$함량은 포장량이 적을수록 산소투과도가 낮을수록 높았으며, $CO_2$함량은 포장량이 많을수록 높았다. 종합적으로 포장량 400 g, 포장재 산소투과도 2,000 $cc/m^2$, 24 h, atm 이하에서 판매가능한 신선도가 35일까지 유지되어 저장기간이 가장 길었다.
Recently, Pleurotus eryngii, King oyster mushroom is the main export item in South Korea mushroom industry. For appropriate transportation to Europe and USA markets, it is necessary to elucidate suitable conditions of storage and treatment of post-harvest during long time shipping. Whole mushrooms were packed with polypropylene anti-fog film (30 um) without trimming. The range of package weight and oxygen permeability of film were 200 g~400 g and 2000~5000 $cc/m^2$, 24 h,atm, respectively. The weight loss ratio was increased with increasing storage time. There were no big differences in weight loss ratio according to package weight and oxygen permeability of film at low temperature storage($4^{circ}C$). In case of package weight is 400 g and oxygen permeability of film is 3000 $cc/m^2$, 24 h, atm. As a results of freshness, the optimum packing weight and oxygen permeability of film of P. eryngii were 400 g and below 2,000 $cc/m^2$, 24 h, atm, respectively.
