Abstract
It was investigated the effects of pre-treatment method on the microbes on the surface of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) leaves. Independent variables put in water washing ($X_1$), microwave treatment ($X_2$) and steam treatment ($X_3$) using central composite design and response surface analysis. It was not detected in the pathogenic microbes, Samonella spp., Camphylobacter spp., Vibrio spp., Shigella spp., Staphyloccocus spp., on the surface of collected radish leaves without pre-treatment. But general microbes showed $3.90{\times}10^5{\sim}1.20{\times}10^7CFU/g$ of total microbes, $1.10{\times}10^2{\sim}2.00{\times}10^5CFU/g$ of E. coli, $2.40{\times}10^3{\sim}3.55{\times}10^6CFU/g$ of yeast/mold on the surface of various radish leaves and lactic acid bacteria was detected or not according to collected samples. The best method of pre-treatment was steam treatment on the microbe reduction effect of samples surface. Also, the multiplex regression coefficients analysis was calculated three independent variables ($X_1,\;X_2,\;X_3$) and dependent variables (total microbes, lactic acid bacteria and yeast/molds). It showed high correlation $R^2$, 0.89, 0.87, 0.85, respectively. For effective reduction of surface microbes, the best method was water washing with microwave or steam treatment at the same time.
