Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate seasonal changes of microbiological counts and sanitation state on the surface of food service facilities and utilities of elementary schools in Busan area. Samples swabbed using sponge were collected from the surface of food service facilities and utilities, that is ceiling, wall, floor, trench, grease trap, hood, pest control net and dumb waiter, and analyzed by measuring the total plate, coliform and Salmonella spp. count. The total plate counts at foodservice facilities and utilities except ceiling and wall were ranged from 10$^4$∼10$^{6}$ CFU/100 $\textrm{cm}^2$. The coliform counts were ranged from 10$^2$∼10$^4$ CFU/100 $\textrm{cm}^2$ at foodservice facilities and utilities except ceiling. The grease trap was the severely contaminated facility. It was indicated that the sanitary condition at the foodservice facilities and utilities except ceiling and wall should be improved promptly. As a result of investigating the seasonal changes of microbiological counts, floor, trench, grease trap and dumb waiter should be carried out disinfection before foodserving everyday in summer season, and the disinfection frequencies of wall, hood and pest control net should not be less than three times per week. In winter season floor, trench, and dumb waiter should be carried out disinfection after foodserving, grease trap should be carried out disinfection before foodserving everyday and the disinfection frequencies of wall, hood and pest control net should not be less than twice per week.
