Abstract

The propose of this study was to evaluate the microbiological hazards of the customers' hands in university foodservice operation. A total of 190 customers' hands were sampled to test about aerobie plate counts, coliforms, E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The average number of aerobic plate counts was 3.11 log CFU/hand Ifrom 0.70 to 6.47 log CFU/hand) and that of coliform counts was 1.06 log CFU/hand (from not detected to 5.04 log CFU/hand). The mean level of aerobic plate counts (t=9.87, p<0.001) and coliforms (t=7.91, p<0.05) was significantly different by gender. E. coli was not detected, but Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 39 (20.5%) of 190 samples. The average of hand-washing frequency was 6.46 time per day. By the hand-washing frequency, the mean level of aerobic plate counts was significantly different (F=527, p<0.001), but coliforms was not significantly different. This study shows that it is needs to be given attention to hygiene handlers but also for customers in foodservice operations.

급식소 고객의 손 위생실태를 파악하여 향후 소비자 위생교육의 계획 수립을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 점심식사 시간에 대학교 내 학생식당을 찾은 일부 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 손 세척에 대한 설문조사와 손의 미생물 검사를 실시하였다. 조사대상자 190명의 1일 평균 손 세척횟수는 전체 평균 6.46회였다. 일반세균, 대장균군, 대장균, 황색포도상구균에 대한 미생물 검사를 실시한 결과 일반세균수는 평균 3.11 log CFU/hand로 $0.70{\sim}6.47\;log\;CFU/hand$가 검출되었고, 대장균군수는 평균 1.06 log CFU/hand로 검출되지 않은 경우부터 최대 5.04 log CFU/hand까지 검출되었다. 대장균은 조사대상자 전원이 검출되지 않았으며, 황색포도상구균의 검출율은 20.5%였다. 고객의 성별에 따른 손의 미생물학적 위해 분석의 차이검정 결과 남자가 여자에 비해 일반세균수(p<0.001)와 대장균군수(p<0.05)가 유의적으로 높게 검출되었다. 황색포도상구균도 남자가 여자에 비해 더 많은 수가 검출되었으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 손 세척횟수에 따른 미생물학적 위해분석의 차이검정 결과 일반세균수는 손 세척횟수가 4번 이하일 때 평균 3.25 log CFU/hand, $5{\sim}7$번일때 2.75 log CFU/hand, 8번 이상일 때 2.75 log CFU/hand로 손 세척횟수가 증가함엠 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.001). 대장균은 전혀 검출되지 않았으며, 대장균군과 황색포도상구균의 검출량은 손세척 횟수에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 점심시간 전 손 세척여부에 다른 미생물학적 위해분석의 차이검정 결과 일반세균수는 점심시간 전 손 세척을 항상 하는 경우가 전혀 하지 않는 경우에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 검출되었다(p<0.005).
