Abstract

The use of ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy for foods is known to have a microbial inhibitory effect. UV-A having a longer wavelength than UV-C can be used for continuous or intermittent UV irradiation of food stored in containers or packages. Because UV-LED can be used effectively at a low price, this study reported the effect of UV-A 365 nm-LED on inhibiting Bacillus subtilis in accordance with the packaging conditions employed in daily use. The packaging materials were linear low-density polyethylene (LLD-PE), nylon/low density polyethylene (LDPE), polystyrene, and glass. When all packaging materials were treated with 365 nm UV-LED, B. subtilis was observed to remain inactive for 30-60 min. Further, compared with the control (-log 5), the survival rate of B. subtilis was -log 2.0-2.5 for nylon/LDPE and -log 2.58-3.61 for LLD-PE. These packaging materials showed an excellent inhibitory effect regardless of their thickness. Typically, a decrease in the viable cell count of more than 3 log indicates a 99.9% bactericidal effect. These results suggest that 365 nm UV-LED permeated the packaging material and inhibited bacterial growth.

본 연구에서는 그람 양성의 호기성 유포자 세균 중 자연계에 널리 분포되어 식품에 문제를 일으키는 대표적인 균인 B. subtilis를 대상으로 365 nm UV-LED의 생육 억제 효과를 입증하였다. 또한 365 nm UV-LED 조사 시, 식품 포장재로 흔히 사용되고 있는 유리, LLD-PE, Nylon/LDPE 및 PS 등의 포장 조건에 따른 B. subtilis 생육 억제 효과를 확인하였다. 그 결과, B. subtilis의 생육 억제 효과가 가장 뛰어난 재질은 Nylon/LDPE와 LLD-PE로 확인되었고, 대조구의 생존율인 -log 5 값과 비교하여 각각의 생존율은 약 -log 2.5-2.9, -log 2.58-3.61로 나타났다. 이 때 재질의 두께가 미생물의 생육에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 관찰되었고, 포장재질에 따라 365 nm UV-LED 투과력이 다르다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 통상적으로 log 3 이상 생균수가 감소하면 99.9% 살균효과가 있는 것으로 나타낼 수 있는데, 본 연구를 통해 365 nm UV-LED가 흔히 사용되고 있는 식품 포장재를 투과하여 균의 생육 억제에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 365 nm UV-LED의 사용이 식품보존과 식품산업 분야의 응용기술로써 잠재력이 있음을 시사하는 바이다.
