Abstract

To improve the microbiological safety of wild vegetables after harvest, Aster scaber and Cirsium setidens Nakai were treated with combinations of 50 ppm aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$)/0.5% citric acid or fumaric acid, and 50 ppm $ClO_2$/0.5% fumaric acid/blanching at $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 min. Combined treatment of 50 ppm $ClO_2$ and 0.5% citric acid reduced populations of total aerobic bacteria, yeast, and molds in Aster scaber and Cirsium setidens Nakai by 2.80~3.64 and 2.02~2.67 log CFU/g, respectively, compared to those of the control. Combined treatment of 50 ppm $ClO_2$ and 0.5% fumaric acid reduced total aerobic bacteria, yeast and molds populations by 3.62~3.82 and 2.47~3.02 log CFU/g, respectively. Based on the results, combined treatment of $ClO_2$ and fumaric acid was more effective in controlling microorganisms in the wild vegetables than either $ClO_2$ or citric acid. In addition, combined treatment of $ClO_2$/fumaric acid/blanching reduced the populations of total aerobic bacteria by 4.59~5.12 log CFU/g, and populations of yeast and molds were not detected by treatment. These results suggest that combined treatment of $ClO_2$/fumaric acid/blanching is the most effective method for improving microbiological safety of wild vegetables after harvest.

수확 후 산채류의 미생물학적 안전성을 확보하기 위해 선정된 산채류인 취나물과 곤드레에 이산화염소수와 유기산 용액 병합 처리 및 이산화염소수, 유기산 용액, blanching 병합 처리 후 미생물 제어 효과를 비교 분석하였다. 50 ppm 이산화염소수와 0.5% citric acid 용액의 병합 처리는 취나물과 곤드레의 총 호기성 세균 수를 2.80~3.64 log CFU/g, 효모 및 곰팡이 수는 2.02~2.67 log CFU/g 감소시켰다. 50 ppm 이산화염소수와 0.5% fumaric acid 용액의 병합 처리 후 총 호기성 세균 수는 대조구와 비교하여 3.62~3.82 log CFU/g 감소하였으며, 효모 및 곰팡이의 경우에는 2.47~3.02 log CFU/g 만큼 감소하여 이산화염소수와 citric acid 용액의 병합 처리보다 fumaric acid 용액과의 병합 처리가 더 효과적인 병합 처리 조건이라고 생각된다. 이산화염소수와 fumaric acid 병합 처리 후 blanching 처리된 취나물의 총 호기성 세균 수는 대조구보다 5.12 log CFU/g 더 낮게 검출되었으며, 효모 및 곰팡이는 검출되지 않았다. 곤드레의 경우에도 효모 및 곰팡이는 검출되지 않았으며, 총 호기성 세균 수는 대조구와 비교하여 4.59 log CFU/g 감소하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과 이산화염소수와 유기산 용액 전처리 후 blanching 병합 처리가 산채류의 미생물학적 안전성을 확보하는 가장 효과적인 방법이라고 판단된다.
