초록

본 연구는 국내 가정에서 사용하고 있는 냉장고 및 냉동고의 온도 분포에 대한 현황을 파악하기 위하여 냉장고 대상 25가구, 냉동고 대상 25가구를 선정하고 온도 측정을 시행하였다. 가정용 냉장 및 냉동고의 실제 공간상의 온도 분포 조사 결과, 냉장고 대상 가구에서 측정된 온도는 최저 -8.2℃, 최고 15.8℃, 평균 3.73℃로 조사되었으며, 공간 위치별 온도 분포는 문 보관 칸 5.06±1.69℃, 내부벽면 4.18±1.19℃, 내부 보관함 3.41±1.36℃로 내부 보관함의 온도가 가장 낮았고, 각 위치에서 상단 및 하단의 유의적인 온도 차이는 문 보관 칸에서만 확인되었다(P<0.01). 냉동고 대상 가구에서 측정된 온도는 최저 -30.3℃, 최고 0.7℃, 평균 -17.95℃로 조사되었으며, 공간 위치별 온도 분포는 문 보관 칸 -17.19±1.68℃, 내부 벽면 -17.81±1.07℃, 내부 보관함 -18.78±1.72℃로 냉장고 결과와 동일하게 내부 보관함의 온도가 가장 낮고, 문 보관 칸에서만 상·하단의 유의적인 온도 차가 확인되었다(P<0.01). 냉장·냉동고 내에서 위치별 최대 온도 차이는 각각 2.18℃, 2.02℃로 확인되었으며, 결론적으로 냉장·냉동고 전체의 온도가 일정하게 유지되는 것이 아니며, 보관되는 위치별로 유의적인 편차가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 냉장·냉동고 제조사와 공공기관에서 식품별 권장 보관 위치를 고객들에게 적극적으로 권고하고, 각 가정에서는 온도 변화에 민감한 식품을 보관할 경우 문쪽 보관을 지양하는 등 보관관리 의식을 가져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This study surveyed and compared the temperature distribution in domestic refrigerators and freezers used in Korea to determine whether temperature varied according to the location of food storage. We selected 50 people to collect temperature data; among them, 25 measured the temperature of refrigerators, while the remaining measured the temperature of freezers. Consequently, the lowest and highest temperatures measured in domestic refrigerators were found to be -8.2℃ and 15.8℃, respectively, with an average temperature of 3.73℃. The temperature distribution based on internal location was: 5.06±1.69℃ for the door storage compartment, 4.18±1.19℃ for the inside wall surface, and 3.41±1.36℃ for the inner storage box. Significant temperature differences between the top and bottom were only identified at the door storage compartment (P<0.01). Further, the minimum and maximum temperatures measured in the freezer was -30.3℃ and 0.7℃, respectively, with an average temperature of -17.95℃. The temperature distribution based on location was: -17.19±1.68℃ for the door storage compartment, -17.81±1.07℃ for the inside wall surface, and -18.78±1.72℃ for the inside storage box. The results were similar to that of the refrigerator, with the lowest temperature in the inside storage box, and a significant temperature difference between the top and bottom noted only at the door (P<0.01). The maximum temperature difference (between locations) within the refrigerator and freezer was found to be 2.18 and 2.02℃, respectively. In conclusion, the temperature in the entire space was not constant; there were significant deviations at different storage locations. Therefore, public authorities should actively advise customers on the recommended storage locations for each food type. People will benefit from awareness about storage management, including avoiding storage of temperature-sensitive foods in door compartment.
