Abstract

This study was performed to analyze the microbial contamination levels of three non-heated rice cake manufacturers in terms of seasonal manufacturing process and to investigate the effects of summertime soaking on contamination levels and temperature-controlled soaking in water on reduction in microbial levels. The total aerobic bacteria (TAB) ranged from 2.69 log CFU/g to 5.08 log CFU/g in the produce, but the microbial contamination increased sharply during soaking. The levels of TAB and coliforms during summer soaking were 7.01 and 3.96 log CFU/g, respectively, and this was significantly higher than those in other seasons. The contamination level was high in the subsequent freezing, with the TAB level (6.24 log CFU/g) exceeding the legal standard. The temperature of soaking water in summer increased from 19.1℃ to 26.8℃ after 12 h of soaking. The microbial contamination was significantly high commensurate with increased soaking time, and the TAB level in the frozen process exceeded the legal standard from 9 h of soaking. The use of ice packs to prevent the increase in temperature of the soaking water in summer resulted in maintenance of temperature at 20.1℃ for up to 12 h. The average TAB value in the freezing process was 4.42 log CFU/g after 12 h of soaking, and this is 1.77 log CFU/g lower than that before. Based on these results, it was determined that controlling the soaking time and water temperature are essential for the production of a safe unheated frozen rice cake. The safety of the HACCP system could be established by applying these preventive management standards.

본 연구에서는 비가열 떡 제조업체 3곳을 대상으로 원재료, 제조설비 및 계절별 제조공정에 대한 미생물 오염도를 분석하였고, 여름철 불림 시간에 따른 미생물 오염도 및 불림 수 온도 조절을 통한 미생물 저감 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 3업체의 원재료 일반세균수는 2.69-5.08 log CFU/g 범위로 검출되었으나 제조공정 중 불림공정에서 미생물 오염도가 급격히 증가함을 확인하였다. 계절에 따른 제조공정별 미생물 오염도 분석결과, 여름철 불림공정에서 일반세균 및 대장균군이 7.01 및 3.96 log CFU/g로 다른 계절에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났고, 이후 공정에서도 높은 오염도를 유지하여 냉동공정에서 일반세균이 6.24 log CFU/g로 법적인 기준을 초과하여 검출되었다. 여름철 불림 초기 수온은 19.1℃에서 불림 12시간 후 26.8℃까지 상승하였고, 불림시간에(3, 6, 9, 12 h) 따른 제조공정별 미생물 오염도 분석결과, 불림시간이 길어질수록 미생물 오염도가 유의적으로 높게 나타났고, 불림 9시간 이후부터 냉동공정의 일반세균 수치가 냉동식품의 법적인 기준을 초과하여 검출되었다. 여름철 불림 수의 온도 상승을 억제하기 위하여 얼음팩을 이용하여 불림 수온을 조절한 결과, 불림 12시간까지 20.1℃로 유지되어 조절 전보다 약 7℃가량 낮게 나타났다. 이에 따른 제조공정별 미생물 오염도 분석결과, 3업체의 불림 12시간 이후 냉동공정 일반세균 평균값이 4.42 log CFU/g로 조절 전보다 1.77 log CFU/g 감소한 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 안전한 비가열 냉동떡 생산을 위해서는 업체에 맞는 불림시간 및 불림 수 온도조절 등의 선행요건 관리기준 설정이 필요하며, 이러한 선행요건 관리기준의 적용으로 비가열 냉동떡 제조 HACCP system의 안전성이 확립될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
