Abstract

Antimicrobial efficacy of high pressure (HP) can be enhanced by the application of additional hurdles. The objective of this study was to assess the enhancement in pressure lethality by tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) treatment, against bacterial spores that are considered significant in the food industry. Spores of Clostridium sporogenes, Bacillus cereus and B. subtilis were prepared. Spore suspensions containing TBHQ (200 ppm, dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) were pressurized at 650 or 700 MPa at 54-72$^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. Inactivation of bacterial spores resulted only with HP treatment. The population of B. subtilis spores was more inactivated by HP than those of B. cereus and C. sporogenes spores. Inactivation of C. sporogenes spores using pressure was more affected by the germinated population, compared to Bacillus spores. The inactivation of Bacillus spores increased when pressurized at 70$^{\circ}C$, compared to 54$^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the degree of germination-induced lethality for Bacillus spores decreased at 70$^{\circ}C$. When spores were treated with a combination of DMSO-HP and TBHQ-HP, these treatments seemed to protect the spores against HP, especially at 54$^{\circ}C$. Further mechanistic studies involved in inducing germination by HP and using a subsequent sporicidal agent will be needed for a better understanding of bacterial spore inactivation.

초고압의 미생물에 대한 살균 효과는 다른 제어 방법을 더 적용함으로써 증대 될 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 식품 산업에서 중요한 세균 포자들을 tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ)를 처리하여 초고압 살균효과를 증진시킴을 알아보고자 한다. Clostridium sporogenes, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis의 포자를 준비하였다. Dimetylsulfoxide(DMSO)에 용해시킨 TBHQ 200 ppm을 함유한 포자액을 650 또는 700 MPa로, 54-72$^{\circ}C$에서 5분간 처리하였다. 세균 포자의 사멸은 초고압 처리 이후에만 일어났다. Bacillus subtilis 포자가 B. cereus나 C. sporogenes 포자보다 초고압에 의해 더 많이 사멸되었다. C. sporogenes 포자의 사멸은 Bacillus 포자에 비해서 초고압에 의한 germination이 더 일어나면서 이루어 졌다. Bacillus 포자는 54$^{\circ}C$에서 초고압 처리 때 보다 72$^{\circ}C$에서 처리했을 때 더 많이 사멸되었다. 하지만 germination에 의한 사멸은 70$^{\circ}C$에서 감소되었다. 포자를 DMSO와 초고압, TBHQ와 초고압의 병용 처리를 했을 때, 특히 54$^{\circ}C$에서는 포자 사멸이 덜 일어났다. 세균 포자의 사멸에 대한 좀 더 나은 이해를 위해서는 초고압에 의한 germination 과 다른 포자 억제 물질과의 상호 작용에 대한 메커니즘 연구들이 필요하다.
