유통중인 즉석섭취 새싹채소와 샐러드의 세균오염 분석

국문 초록 (Abstract)

즉석섭취편이 식품중 신선편의식품(fresh-cut-vegetable)인 새싹 채소와 샐러드의 수요는 급증하고 있으나 특히 새싹채소의 미생물 품질평가를 위한 자료가 거의 없는 상황이다. 따라서 국내 대형할인마트에서 유통중인 새싹채소 50제품, 샐러드 30제품을 수집하여 총 호기성균, 대장균군, E. coli, Salmonella spp, S. aureus, B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, Cam. jejuni, C. perfringens의 오염연구를 수행하였다. 총 호기성균은 새싹채소에서는 7.95 log CFU/g 검출되었으며 샐러드에서 평균 6.70 log CFU/g검출되어 샐러드 보다 새싹채소에서 약 1 log CFU/g 더 높게 검출되었다. 대장균군은 새싹채소에서 6.69 log CFU/g 검출되었고 샐러드에서 평균 5.42 log CFU/g 검출되었다. E. coli은 새싹채소 50제품 중 16제품(32%)에서 2.38 log CFU/g으로 검출되었고 샐러드 30제품 중 8제품(27%)에서 2.21 log CFU/g으로 검출되었다. B. cereus는 새싹채소 50제품 중 16제품(32%)이 검출되었고 샐러드 30제품 중 16제품(53%)가 검출되었으나 대부분이 3 log CFU/g 이하의 검출율을 보여 주었다. Salmonella, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, Cam. jejuni, C. perfringens는 검출되지 않았다. 그러므로 분석된 새싹채소와 샐러드에서 B. cereus이외에 다른 식중독 병원성 미생물의 위해 가능성은 크지 않은 것으로 보인다. 그러나 총 세균수가 높게 검출되었고 위생지표세균인 대장균의 검출율이 높아서 이들 식품의 미생물 안전성을 확보하기 위해서 보다 더 철저한 생산유통관리가 요망되며 특별히 새싹채소에 대한 미생물안전성 확보에 대한 노력이 요구된다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Although bacterial outbreaks from ready-to-eat foods have increased, little information is available on microbial quality of sprouts in markets. Fifty sprouts and 30 salads were collected from wholesale markets. Total aerobic count (TAC), coliform, Escherichia coli, and some pathogens were detected. TAC for sprouts was 7.95 log CFU/g and 6.70 for salads, indicating that sprouts were more contaminated by 1 log CFU/g than that of salads. The numbers of coliform were 6.69 log CFU/g for sprouts and 5.42 for salads. E. coli was detected in 16 of 50 sprout samples at 2.38 log CFU/g and eight of 30 salads at 2.21 log CFU/g. Bacillus cereus was detected in 29 of 50 sprout samples and 16 of 30 salads, and the counts were mostly <3 log CFU/g. Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, and Clostridium perfringens were not detected. Therefore, although pathogens may not be a high risk for these foods, the high TAC and E. coli contamination require improved production and distribution methods, particularly for sprouts.
