Abstract

The sterilization efficacies of various washing solutions on the surfaces of vegetables such as sesame leaves, lettuce, and mini-cabbage were investigated. The washing solutions were tap water (TW), microbubble water (MB), electrolyzed water (EW), and microbubble electrolyzed water (MB＋EW). After Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus were artificially inoculated onto the surfaces of vegetables, each vegetable was washed for 1, 3, and 5 min with TW, MB, EW 100 (100 mg/L of available chlorine), EW 200 (200 mg/L of available chlorine), MB+EW 100, and MB＋EW 200. The washing efficacy of MB was slightly higher than that of TW, and EW was more effective than MB (p<0.05). In all instances, the sterilization efficacies of MB+EW 100 and MB+EW 200 were higher than those of EW 100 and EW 200 (p<0.05). Thus, MB+EW offers an effective means of reducing the studied microorganisms in a short time period. The MB＋EW washing method provides microbial reduction on the surfaces of various vegetables and enhances the microbiological safety of the vegetables.

본 연구에서는 채소류의 표면에 인위적으로 균을 오염시킨 후 수도수, 마이크로버블수, 전기분해수 및 마이크로버블-전기분해수 세척에 의한 미생물 살균 효과를 알아보았다. 우선 수도수와 마이크로버블수 세척에 의한 살균 효과를 비교한 결과, 수도수와 마이크로 버블수 사이에 살균력 차이는 미세하게 마이크로버블수가 높게 나타났다. 유효 염소 농도별 전기분해수와 마이크로버블-전기분해수 세척에 의한 살균 효과를 비교한 결과, 유효염소 농도가 100 mg/L인 전기분해수는 5분간 세척 후 채소류의 종류에 따라 미생물이 잔존하였지만, 100 mg/L인 마이크로버블-전기분해수는 5분간 세척 후 모든 채소류에서 균이 검출되지 않았고, 200 mg/L인 마이크로버블-전기분해수에서는 1분간 세척 후에 모든 채소류에 미생물이 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 각 유효 염소 농도별 마이크로버블-전기분해수가 전기분해수에 비해 짧은 세척시간에 효과적인 살균이 된 것으로 나타났다. 종합적으로 마이크로버블-전기분해수 세척 기술이 미생물학적 위험은 감소시키면서 표면 살균 효과가 낮은 채소류와 같은 신선편의 식품에 적합한 살균 기술로 생각된다.
