생식제품 및 제조 공정 중 위해 미생물의 제어 및 저감화를 위하여 제조공정을 개선하고 전해수, 오존수 등 살균효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 7가지의 위해미생물 오염도가 높은 생식원료에 대한 전해수의 살균효과가 차아염소산소다수 또는 오존수에 비하여 전체적으로 강한 것으로 나타났으며 오존수의 살균효과는 차아염소산소다수와 비슷하거나 다소 강한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 전해수나 오존수를 이용하여 생식원료를 세정, 살균하여도 원료의 종류에 따라 살균효과에 차이가 있으며, 비 가열가공이라는 생식의 특성상 원료에서 검출되는 위해미생물은 최종제품까지 생잔할 가능성이 높기 때문에, 각 원료에 따른 살균처리지침을 위한 database 축적이 요구된다. 한편 모델공장을 선택하여 공장위생, 종업원 개인위생 및 제조공정을 개선한 후 공정개선의 미생물학적 효과를 조사한 결과 공정개선 전에는 원료에서 보다 최종제품에서 위해미생물의 수가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 공정개선 후에는 원료의 균수를 그대로 유지하거나, 감소하였으며 외주 원료의 혼합으로 인하여 위해미생물의 균수가 증가하였다. 따라서 생식의 제조공정에서 위해미생물을 저감화를 위해서는 외주 원료의 철저한 위생관리가 요구되며, 전해수 오존수 등을 이용한 원료의 비가열 세정살균과 지속적이고 위생적인 공정관리가 이루어진다면 위해 미생물의 균수를 저감화할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Kimbab is the most popular ready-to-eat (RTE) food in Korea. A rapid detection method based on multiplex PCR technique was developed for detection of major food-borne pathogens like Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytongenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. Specific bands were obtained as 108 bp (Sau, S. aureus), 284 bp (Sal, S. enterica, S. enteritids, and S. typhmurium), 404 bp (Lmo, L. monocytogenes), 475 bp (Bce, B. cereus), and 600 bp (Shi, S. flexineri and S. sonnei). Visible cell numbers varied from 4.14-5.03, 3.61-4.47, and 4.10-5.11 log CFU/g in randomly collected June, July, and August samples, respectively. Among the 30 kimbab samples obtained 83.3% samples were contaminated and 16.7% samples were free from contamination. The highest rate of contamination was with S. aureus (56.7%) followed by B. cereus (43.3%), Salmonella spp. (36.7%), Shigella spp. (13.3%), and L. monocytogenes (6.7%). The identification of the pathogenic species could be faster using one polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the ability to test for food-borne pathogenic species in kimbab will save time and increase the ability to assure its quality.

The growth inhibitiory effect of chaff vinegar against various food-borne pathogenic bacteria was evaluated. Bacterial growth was evaluated in chaff vinegar at concentrations of 15, 30, 50, 65, 80, and $100\%$ using the paper disc diffusion method and 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 and $2.5\%$ in broth. In the paper disc diffusion assay, chaff vinegar showed a clear zone on both the Gram-positive bacteria; Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria; Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Chaff vinegar exhibited the greatest growth inhibition for V. parahaemolyticus. The bactericidal effect of chaff vinegar on the E. coli O157:H7 was tested at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to $2.5\%$ (v/v) in the LB broth media. Chaff vinegar retarded the lag phase time of the growth curve in proportion in a concentration-dependent manner. Chaff vinegar at $2.5\%$ completely inhibited the growth of E. coli O157:H7.

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma is one of the promising next generation non-thermal technologies for food sterilization. The present study investigated the effects of DBD plasma on the reduction of most common food-borne pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enterica) and sanitary indicative bacteria (Escherichia coli) in the suspension (initial inoculum of approx. 9 log CFU/mL). The bacterial counts were significantly (P<0.05) reduced with the increase in the treatment time (1-30 min) of DBD plasma in the suspension. The D-values (time for 90% reduction) of DBD plasma by first-order kinetics for S. aureus, B. cereus, V. parahaemolyticus, S. enterica, and E. coli were 17.76, 19.96, 32.89, 21.55, and 15.24 min, respectively (R²>0.90). These results specifically showed that 30 min of DBD plasma treatment in > 90% reduction of seafood-borne pathogenic and sanitary indicative bacteria. This suspension study may provide the basic data for use in seafood processing and distribution.

생식제품의 미생물학적 안전성을 확보를 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 생식제품 및 제조 공정 중에 있어서 Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococus aureus 등 식중독세균을 중심으로 한 자연 환경 유래 위해미생물의 분포 및 주 오염공정을 조사하였다. 생식 원료 중 위해미생물의 검출율이 높은 원료는 주로 곡류이었으며, 원료를 일반수도수로 세척하고 동결건조 하여도 위해미생물은 완전히 제거되지 않아 원료에 대한 비가열살균 대책이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 한편 최종제품의 위해미생물의 검출율이 원료보다 높게 나타나 제조공정 중 미생물 오염이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었으며 위해미생물은 원료의 1차 분쇄 후 공정이 진행됨에 따라 증가하였고, 특히 외주분말(하청공장에서 원료를 세척, 건조, 분쇄한 것)을 혼합한 후 균수가 급속히 증가하였다. 공중부유균은 분쇄실과 혼합실에서 많이 검출되었으며, 생식 제조 공정에 사용되는 기계 및 기구에서도 위해미생물이 검출되어 공중부유균과 기계 및 기구의 오염, 그리고 기계에 끼여 있는 분말 찌꺼기가 제조공정 중 생식의 미생물 오염 원인이라는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 따라서 공중부유균의 살균대책 및 하청공장의 철저한 위생관리가 요구되며, 분쇄기 및 혼합기의 정기저인 소독 및 살균이 필요 할 것으로 사료된다.

A potential probiotics bacterial strain, CS90, was isolated from Korean soybean paste (doenjang). The strain CS90 showed antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogenic bacteria including Salmonella enterica, Salmonella enteritids, Salmonella typhymurium, Bacillus cereus, Listeria ivanovii, Listeria. monocytogenes, Sthaphylococcus aureus, and Sthaphylococcus epidermidis and showed a significant survival rate of 35.7 to 57.8% under the artificial gastric acidic condition (pH 2 to 3). The strain CS90 was classified as Bacillus subtilis based on morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic features and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence and designated as B. subtilis CS90. B. subtilis CS90 can be used as a potential probiotics.

Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Rottler) has potential risks associated with pathogenic bacterial contamination as it is usually consumed raw. In this study, we investigated the microbiota of Chinese chives purchased from traditional markets and grocery stores in March (Spring) and June (Summer) 2017. Differences in bacterial diversity were observed, and the microbial composition varied across sampling times and sites. In June, potential pathogenic genera, such as Escherichia, Enterobacter, and Pantoea, accounted for a high proportion of the microbiota in samples purchased from the traditional market. A large number of pathogenic bacteria (Acinetobacter lwoffii, Bacillus cereus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Serratia marcescens) were detected in the June samples at a relatively high rate. In addition, the influence of the washing treatment on Chinese chive microbiota was analyzed. After storage at 26℃, the washing treatment accelerated the growth of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) because it caused dynamic shifts in Chinese chive indigenous microbiota. These results expand our knowledge of the microbiota in Chinese chives and provide data for the prediction and prevention of food-borne illnesses.

This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Euphorbia humifusa ethanol-extract against food-borne pathogens. The growth inhibitory effects of the extract at a concentration of 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 mg/L on food poisoning microorganism were determined against Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus. The microorganisms growth was not affected by the extract at the concentration up to 250 mg/L, but was significantly (p<0.05) inhibited by the extract at a concentration higher than 1,000 mg/L. The extract of Euphorbia humifusa had strong antimicrobial activity against all test strains at a concentration of 2,000 mg/L. The results in the present study demonstrate antimicrobial effects of Euphorbia humifusa ethanol-extract against food-borne pathogens, suggesting that Euphorbia humifusa could be an effective natural antibacterial agent in food.

The pathogenic Vibrio genus contains halophilic bacteria that are distributed in marine and freshwater environments. Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus are potent human pathogens and leading causes of septicemia, wound infection, and seafood-borne gastroenteritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of pathogenic Vibrio species in seawater off the west coast of Korea. Sixty-four seawater samples were obtained from different sites in Gomso Bay and Byeonsan from April 2018 to November 2018. Pathogenic Vibrio species were detected using a combination of most probable number (MPN)-polymerase chain reaction methods. V. cholerae, V. vulnificus, and V. parahaemolyticus were found in 0.0%, 20.3%, and 65.6% of seawater samples, respectively. Quantitative results revealed 3.6-23 MPN/100 mL of V. vulnificus, and 3.6-930 MPN/100 mL of V. parahaemolyticus in the samples. Overall, these results provide new insight into the necessity for seawater sanitation in Gomso Bay and Byunsan; they also provide evidence that will help reduce outbreaks of seafood-borne illness caused by pathogenic Vibrio species.
