Abstract

In this study, the effectiveness of physical control technology, a combined light sterilization (LED, UV) and hot water treatment in reducing Aspergillus ochraceus for food production environment was investigated. In brief, 1 mL aliquot of A. ochraceus spore suspension (107-8 spore/mL) was inoculated onto stainless steel chips, which was then dried at 37℃, and each was subjected to different physical treatment. Treatments were performed for 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 8, and 11 hours to reduce the strains using a light-emitting diode, but no significant difference was confirmed among the treatments. However, a significant reduction was observed on the chips treated with UV-C exposure and hot water immersion. After being treated solely with 360 kJ/m2 of UV-C on stainless steel chip, the fungi were significantly reduced to 1.27 log CFU/cm2. Concerning the hot water treatment, the initial inoculum amount of 6.49 log CFU/cm2 was entirely killed by immersion in 83℃ water for 5 minutes. Maintaining a high temperature for 5 minutes at the site is difficult. Thus, considering economic feasibility and usability, we attempted to confirm the appropriate A. ochraceus reduction conditions by combining a relatively low temperature of 60℃ and UV rays. With the combined treatments, even in lukewarm water, A. ochraceus decreased significantly through the increases in the immersion time and the amount of UV-C irradiation, and the yield was below the detection limit. Based on these results, if work tools are immersed in 60℃ lukewarm water for 3 minutes and then placed in a UV sterilization device for more than 10 minutes, the possibility of A. ochraceus cross-contamination during work is expected to be reduced.

본 연구는 식품 생산 환경에서 A. ochraceus를 저감하기 위하여 물리적 제어기술인 광살균(LED, UV), 열수 처리를 통하여 그 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 A. ochraceus 포자 현탁액(107-8 spore/mL)를 스테인리스 칩에 1 mL 접종하고 37℃에 건조한 후 각각의 물리적 처리에 적용하였다. LED를 활용하여 30분, 1, 2, 5, 8, 11시간 처리하였으나 균수에서 유의적인 차이를 확인하지 못하였으나 UV-C와 열수침지에서는 모두 A. ochraceus가 유의적으로 감소하였다. UV-C를 단독으로 스테인리스 칩에 360 kJ/m2까지 조사한 결과 A. ochraceus가 1.27 log CFU/cm2 까지 유의적으로 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 열수 처리에서는 가장 고온인 83℃에서 5분간 침지할 경우 A. ochraceus 초기 접종농도인 6.49 log CFU/cm2를 모두 사멸 시켰다. 그러나 고온의 열에너지를 5분간 현장에서 유지하는 것이 쉽지 않으므로 경제성과 사용 적합성 등을 고려하여 비교적 저온인 60℃와 자외선을 복합처리 하여 적절한 저감 조건을 확인하고자 하였다. 복합처리 결과 미온수에서도 침지시간 증가와 UV-C 조사량 증가에 따라 유의적으로 감소하여 불검출되었다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 미온수인 60℃ 물에 작업도구 등을 침지하여 3분간 침지한 후 10분 이상 UV 살균처리 장치에 비치하여 둔다면 작업 중 A. ochraceus가 식품으로 교차오염되는 가능성을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
