Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the microbiological contamination levels in rice cakes and rice flour due to climate change in three areas classified to their temperature and precipitation. We investigated the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens of rice flour and 3 rice cakes such as Garaetteok, Sirutteok and Gyeongdan. Contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria in rice flour were 4.9 log CFU/g. In a total of 70 rice flour, yeasts & molds and coliforms were detected in 42 and 52 samples at the levels of 43 CFU/g and 1.29 log CFU/g, respectively. S. aureus were detected in only 1 rice flour (1.66 log CFU/g) out of 70. In an investigation of contamination levels in rice cakes, the population of total aerobic bacteria were highest in Gyeongdan (5.18 log CFU/g) and coliforms were highest in Gareattock (2.93 log CFU/g). There was no detection of E. coli and B. cereus except for only 1 Gareattock (1.20 log CFU/g). There were no differences of contamination levels among the three areas. If constant monitoring of rice cakes and rice flour is conducted on the basis of this study, it is expected to be able to analyze the change of contamination levels in rice cakes and rice flour due to climate change.

본 연구는 기후변화에 따른 떡류에서의 미생물 안전성 평가를 위해 전국을 온도와 강수량에 따라 3개의 권역으로 나누어 떡류와 떡의 주원료인 쌀가루의 미생물학적 오염도 모니터링을 실시하였다. 떡의 재조공정에 따라 흰떡, 전통떡, 성형떡 3가지로 분류하였고, 가래떡, 시루떡, 경단을 대표 떡으로 샘플링하였다. 쌀가루에서의 총호기성균은 평균 4.9 log CFU/g, 진균은 70개의 시료 중 42개에서 검출되었으며(평균 43 CFU/g), coliform은 52개 시료에서 평균 1.29 log CFU/g 수준으로 검출되었다. 식중독균은 1개의 시료에서만 1.66 log CFU/g의 S. aureus가 검출되었다. 떡류에서의 미생물 오염도는 고물을 묻히는 경단에서 총성호기성균이 가장 높았고, coliform은 냉각수에서 식히는 가래떡에서 가장 높은 오염도를 나타냈다. 진균은 세 가지 떡 모두 비슷한 수준으로 검출되었다. 현재까지는 권역별로 떡류의 미생물 오염도의 유의적인 차이가 나타나진 않았으나, 향후 본 연구결과를 토대로 지속적인 떡류에서의 미생물 모니터링 연구가 이루어진다면 기후변화로 인한 오염도 변화추이를 분석할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
