Abstract

This study was designed to estimate the effect of ethanol addition on shelf-life extension and changes in growth of total aerobic bacteria in fresh wet noodles. The wet noodle was made with addition of 0, 1 and 2% ethanol. During the storage at $10^{\circ}C$, wet noodles were monitored changes in the total numbers of aerobic bacteria. A 6 log cfu/g was applied as a standard for microbiological quality of foods. As a result, the shelf-lifes of wet noodle with addition of ethanol at the standard were 9.17 days at no ethanol, 15.02 days at 1% ethanol and 27.03 days at 2% ethanol. The respective percentage increases in the shelf-life observed at both 1 and 2% ethanol addition were 63.8% and 194.8% comparing with no ethanol treatment. Consequently, addition of ethanol into fresh wet noodle inhibited growth of total aerobic bacteria and extended shelf-life.

본 연구는 생면산업 현장에서 주로 사용하고 있는 주정(ethanol)의 첨가에 따른 미생물의 증식변화와 유통기한 연장 효과를 과학적으로 평가해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 ethanol을 0, 1, 2% 첨가하였으며, $10^{\circ}C$ 에서 저장하는 동안에 생면의 총균수의 변화를 측정하였다. 생면의 품질 기준인 6 log cfu/g을 적용하여 유통기한을 추산하였다. 그 결과 ethanol 첨가 생면의 유통 가능기한은 무첨가군의 경우 9.17일, 1% 첨가군의 경우 15.02일, 2% 첨가군의 경우 27.03일로 추정되어 무첨가군과 비교하여 63.8%, 194.8%의 유통기한을 연장효과를 보였다. 따라서, 생면에 주정(ethanol)의 첨가는 유통기한 연장에 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다.
