자몽씨 추출물, 키토산, 인산용액을 콩나물 재배용수로 사용하여 콩나물 부패를 억제할 수 있는 재배방법을 검토하였다. 키토산과 인산용액은 콩나물의 생장에 특별한 저해를 일으키지 않으면서 재배수율을 증가시켰으며 특히 인산용액의 수율 증가와 부패억제 효과가 우수하였다. 인산용액의 관수회수가 증가함에 따라 대조구에 비해 12.3% 까지 수율이 증가하였으며 $4{sim}8$회의 적은 관수회수에서도 높은 수율 증가와 뚜렷한 부패억제 효과를 확인하였다.
Cultivation methods for clean soybean sprouts were investigated using irrigating solutions with grapefruit seed extract, chitosan and phosphate buffer. Chitosan and phosphate buffer did not inhibit the growth of soybean sprouts and increased the yield. Especially phosphate buffer was effective in yield increase and rot inhibition. As the times of irrigation with phosphate buffer increased, the yield of soybean sprouts increased up to 12.3% compared to that of the control. The high increase of yield and rot inhibition of soybean sprouts were detected even in $4{sim}8$ times irrigation with phosphate buffer.
