Clostridium perfringens causes diarrhea and other diseases in humans and animals. We investigated the prevalence, toxin gene profiles, and antimicrobial resistance of C. perfringens isolated from commercial jeotgal sample. C. perfringens was isolated from 11 of 22 commercial jeotgals. All C. perfringens strains were positive for the alpha toxin gene, but not for the beta, epsilon, iota, CPE or NetB toxin genes; therefore, all strains were identified as type A C. perfringens. However, the beta2 toxin gene was identified in 54.5% of isolates. Disk diffusion susceptibility tests showed that most isolates were resistant to kanamycin (90.9%), nalidixic acid (72.7%), oxacillin (54.5%), erythromycin (27.3%), ciprofloxacin (9.1%) and clindamycin (9.1%). However, all strains were susceptible to 14 other antimicrobial including amoxicillin, ampicillin, and chloramphenicol. The average minimum inhibitory concentrations against C. perfringens of clindamycin, kanamycin, and nalidixic acid were 128.0, 128.0, and 54.0 ㎍/mL, respectively. These results provide new insight into the necessity for sanitation of commercial jeotgal, and provide evidence to help reduce the risk of contamination with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.

Twenty-three Bacillus cereus strain isolated from commercial jeotgal were investigated for 11 toxin genes and susceptibility to 25 different antimicrobials. The hemolytic enterotoxins hblA, hblC, and hblD were detected in 13.0%, and non-hemolytic enterotoxins nheA, nheB, and nheC were detected in 26.1%, 100%, and 100% of the isolates, respectively. The positive rates of cytK, entFM, becT, hlyII, and ces were 73.9%, 60.9%, 26.1%, 8.7%, and 0.0%, respectively. According to the disk diffusion susceptibility test, all of the strains studied were resistant to cefuroxime, followed by cefoxitin (78.3%), oxacillin (78.3%), ampicillin (69.6%), penicillin G (69.6%), and amoxicillin (65.2%). However, all the strains were susceptible to 11 other antimicrobials, including amikacin, chloramphenicol, and ciprofloxacin. The average minimum inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin, ampicillin, and cefuroxime against B. cereus were 462.9, 235.0, and 135.0 ㎍/mL, respectively. These results highlight the need for sanitizing commercial jeotgal, and provide evidence to help reduce the risk of jeotgal contamination by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.

We investigated the quality of 10 commercial eorigul-jeot, salt-fermented oysters with seasoning, by measuring their chemical composition and bacterial concentrations. The Eorigul-jeot had 5.07-6.06 pH (mean, 5.63), of 1.92-4.74% salinity (mean, 3.36%), 7.01-14.70 mg/100 g volatile basic nitrogen (mean, 11.91 mg/100 g), 139.22-267.11 mg/100 g amino acid nitrogen (mean, 212.69 mg/100 g), and 1.02-1.65 g/100 g total acidity (mean, 1.24 g/100 g). The total viable and lactic acid bacterial counts were 5.7×10⁴-8.7×10⁵ and 2.7×10³-2.0×10⁵ CFU/g, respectively, and fecal coliform was detected in only one Eorigul-jeot sample. Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens were detected in two samples, and all Eorigul-jeot samples were negative for Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. These results strongly suggest the need to monitor food-poisoning bacteria in commercial Eorigul-jeot to ensure consumer health.

골뱅이의 가공 부산물인 내장의 효율적인 이용을 위해 골뱅이 내장을 마쇄한 후, 염을 25% 첨가하고 단백질 가수분해효소로서 상업용으로 많이 이용되는 Flavourzyme, Neutrase, Protease NP Prozyme을 각각 0.05, 0.1% 첨가하여 $10^{\circ}C$에서 6개월 동안 숙성하여 특성을 관찰하였다. 상업용 효소를 첨가한 모든 골뱅이 내장젓갈에서 숙성 30일까지 급격하게 감소하며, 숙성기간이 증가할수록 약간의 pH가 증가하였으며 숙성 150일에서 pH가 약간 감소하여 숙성기간 180일에서는 pH $6.1{\sim}6.4$까지 다시 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히, Flavourzyme 첨가구가 다른 효소 첨가구에 비해 pH 변화의 증감이 큰 편이며, Prozyme 첨가구는 이와는 달리, 점차적으로 pH의 감소경향을 나타내었다. 아미노 질소 변화는 효소 첨가량에 비례하여 증가하였으며, 최대 아미노 질소는 Flavourzyme 0.1% 첨가구가 646 mg%를 나타내었다. 총질소 함량은 숙성기간 120일까지는 계속적인 증가를 보였으며, 숙성 120일부터 180일까지 다시 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 효소에 따른 총질소 함량의 증감이 상이하게 관찰되었다. SDS-PAGE에 의한 골뱅이 내장젓갈의 분해결과는 모든 효소 첨가구에서 높은 염함량에도 불구하고 숙성기간의 증가에 따라 점차적으로 분해되는 것을 보였지만, 효소 첨가량에 따라서는 뚜렷한 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 또한, 골뱅이 내장젓갈을 6개월간 숙성한 후, 시판되고 있는 2종류의 액젓과 색도를 비교하여 골뱅이 내장 젓갈이 L값이 2배 이상 높았고, a값과 b값은 거의 유사하게 측정되었다.
