Abstract
Bacteriological quality of beef carcass and distributions of pathogens in beef processing environments were investigated to improve the hygienic quality of fresh beef. Total bacterial contamination of carcass surface in slaughtering process and cutting board in cut-meat process showed 10$^{5}$ -10$^{6}$ CFU/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 10$^{5}$ CFU/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in summer, respectively. The viable bacterial count of cotton glove was similar to that of cutting board during and entire period of year. Microbial contamination of carcass surface, cutting board, cotton glove and deboned meat showed the highest in summer and the lowest in winter during the year. Escherichia coli O157, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella. ornithinolytica, Staphylococcus aureus, E coli, Tatumella. ptyseos, Serratia odorifera, Aero-monas sobria, Enterobacter cloacae and Flavimonas oryzihabitans were isolated from carcass surface during slaughter treatments. S. aureus, Listeria grayi and L. monocytogenes were isolated from cutting board and L. grayi, Erwinia spp. Salmonella app. and S. aureus were isolated from cotton glove in cut-meat process environments. Citrobacter freundii; L. monocytogenes; and S. aureus were isolated from deboned meat.
위생적인 신선육 처리 방안을 모색하기 위하여 도체처리 과정과 식육처리 과정 중 고기의 표면 및 작업도구의 위생실태를 계절별로 검토하였다. 하절기에 총균수, 저온성 균수, 대장균군수 모두 높게 나타났으며, 특히 도체 세척전보다 세척 후에 미생물 오염도가 높았고, 계절에 관계없이 수송 후의 오염도가 가장 높았다. 칼, 도마와 장갑에서 하절기에 $10^{5}$ $ extrm{cm}^2$을 나타내어 높은 미생물 오염도를 나타내었다. 도체 처리 과정 중 도체 표면에서 Escherichia. coli O157, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella, ornithinolytica, Staphylococcus aureus, E. Tatumella, ptyseos, Serratia odorifera, Aeromonas, Aeromonas sobria, Enterobacter colacae, Flavimonas oryzihabitans oryzihabitans를 분리하였으며, 도마에서는 S. aureus, Listeria grayi, L. monocytogenes, 장갑에서 L. grayi, Erwinia spp., Salmonella spp. S aureus, 골발육에서는 Citrobacter freundii, L. momocytogenes, S. aureus가 분리.동정하였다.
