다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was conducted to examine the effect of several postharvest treatments on the storable quality of three apple cultivars. 'Tsugaru', 'Jonagold', and 'Hokudo' which are difference in harvest season.
Ethylene evolution level showed cultivar-dependent pattern during storage and there was no correlation between the amount of ethylene evolution and storage period among cultivars.
Polyethylene film(PE) wrapping was effective in the inhibition of water loss and functional ceramic film was also effective in the prevention of ethylene accumulation inside the wrap during 1 to 3 months of cold storage compared to those of simple PE wrapping.
Ethylene scrubber and wax treatment positively contributed to keep the fruit firmness 10% higher than that of control fruit during storage. Waxing enhanced the appearance of 'Jonagold' even after simulated marketing period through inhibiting wax accumulation on the fruit surface.
