Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate microbiological contamination of leafy vegetables. Total aerobic bacteria and coliforms were monitored to get the contamination levels and Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni to detect pathogens with risk of foodpoisoning from fresh vegetables. The colony count of total aerobes and coliforms was also performed to determine the efficacy of washing with tab water by common consumers. 124 samples which are divided into 8 kinds of vegetables - Sesame leaf, Dropwort, Chinese cabbage, Korean leek, Lettuce, Crown daisy, Pimpinella brachycarpa, Chicory were sampled in 2 wholesale markets in Incheon. Mean counts of total aerobic bacteria for individual vegetables ranged from $2.2\times10^6\;CFU/g\;to\;6.0\times10^7\;CFU/g$ and total coliforms were from $4.1\times10^5\;CFU/g\;to\;9.8\times10^6\;CFU/g$. Both show the peaks in summer on this study from March to September. Decrease rates after washing with tab water averaged 81.0% and 82.5% in total aerobic bacteria and coliform counts respectively. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated 8.1%, Bacillus cereus 14.5%, Clostridium perfringens 5.6%, Escherichia coli 18.5%. 11 samples showed overlapped bacterial contamination. For respective vegetables Staphylococcus aureus isolated from 0.0% to 22.2%, Bacillus cereus from 0.0% to 29.4%, Clostridium perfringens from 0.0% to 23.1 %, Escherichia. coli from 0.0% to 35.0%. Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni were not isolated. This study is expected to be available as the reference for the basal data of pathogens in fresh vegetables.

이 연구의 목적은 잎채소의 미생물 오염을 평가하는 것이다. 신선한 채소에서 미생물 오염정도를 알아보기 위하여 총호기성균수와 대장균군수 및 Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Escheyichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni와 같은 식중독균을 검사하였다. 또한 총호기성균수와 대장균군수를 일반 소비자들에 의해 행해지는 수돗물 세척이 얼마나 효과적인지를 알아보기 위해 세척전후로 검사하였다. 깻잎, 미나리, 배추, 부추, 상추, 쑥갓, 참나물, 치커리의 8종류의 야채 124건을 인천 도매시장에서 채취하였다 야채 각각에 대해 총호기성균의 평균은 $2.2\times10^6\;CFU/g$부터 $6.0\times10^7\;CFU/g$이고, 총대장균군은 $4.1\times10^5\;CFU/g$부터 $9.8\times10^6\;CFU/g$으로 나타났다. 두가지 모두 3월부터 9월의 기간 중 여름철에 최고수치를 보였다. 수돗물로 세척한 후 감소율은 총호기성균은 81.0%이고 대장균군은 82.5%이었다. 식중독균은 Staphylococcus aureus 8.1%, Bacillus cereus 14.5%, Clostridium perfringens 5.6%, Escherichia coli 18.5%로 검출되었다. 이 중에서 11가지 검체에서는 두가지 균이 검출되었다. 각각의 야채에 대해서는 Staphylococcus aureus가 최고 검출율과 최저 검출율이 0.0% 에서 22.2%, Bacillus cereus가 0.0%에서 29.4%, Clostridium perfringens는 0.0%에서 23.1%, Escherichia coli는 0.0%에서 35.0%로 검출되었다. Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni는 검출되지 않았다. 이 연구는 신선한 야채에서의 병원체에 대한 기초 자료로 활용 가능할 것이라 기대된다.
