This study assessed the efficacy of aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) and commercial chlorine sanitizer in terms of its ability to eliminate Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 on radish sprouts (Raphanus sativus L.). Radish sprouts were inoculated with a cocktail containing one each of three strains of three different foodborne pathogens, then treated with distilled water (control) or chemical sanitizers (100 ppm commercial chlorine, and 50, 100, 200 ppm $C1O_2$) for 1, 5, and 10 min at room temperature ($22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$). Populations of S. Typhimurium, E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes were counted at 4.64, 6.05, and 4.29 log CFU/g, respectively, after inoculation. Treatment with water did not significantly reduce the levels of any of the three foodborne pathogens. The levels of all three pathogens were reduced by treatment with chemical sanitizers; however, the observed levels of reduction of E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes were not significant as compared with the controls. The levels of the three pathogens were reduced most profoundly when treated for 10 min with 200 ppm of $C1O_2$, and the reduction levels of S. Typhimurium, E. coli O157:H7, and L. monocytogenes were 1.17, 1.63, and 0.96 log CFU/g, respectively. When chemically injured cells were investigated using SPRAB for E. coli O157 :H7 and by selective overlay methods for S. Typhimurium and L. monocytogenes, respectively, it was noted that commercial chlorine sanitizer generated more numbers of injured pathogens than did $C1O_2$. These data indicate that $C1O_2$ treatment may prove useful in reducing the numbers of pathogenic bacteria in radish sprouts.

이산화염소는 식품과 식품가공을 위한 시설 및 설비 등을 살균소독 하는데 상업적 염소소독제보다 효과적이므로 새로운 살균소독처리 방법으로 이용 가능성이 높다. 이에 본 연구에서는 양배추에 오염된 병원성 미생물(E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, S. Typhimurium)을 감소시키기 위해 액체형태의 상업적 염소소독제와 이산화염소를 농도와 시간을 달리하여 처리하였고, 살균소독을 실시했을 때 형성될 수 있는 화학적 손상세포에 대해서도 조사하였다. 그 결과 상업적 염소소독제보다 이산화염소에서 세 가지의 병원성미생물을 유의적으로 감소시켰으며, 특히 200 ppm 이산화염소로 10분 동안 처리했을 때 E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, S. Typhimurium에 대해 각각 1.98, 1.91, 1.92 log 감소수준을 나타내 모든 처리 구간 중에서 가장 높은 살균소독력을 나타냈다. 또한 세 가지 병원성 미생물 모두 처리시간보다 처리농도의 차이에서 유의적인 차이가 관찰되었다. 세 가지 병원성 미생물에 대하여 상업적 염소소독제와 이산화염소는 화학적 손상세포를 형성하지 않았다. 이에 현재 사용되고 있는 상업적 염소계소독제 처리방법에 비하여 이산화염소를 사용할 것을 권장하며, 이산화염소 응용 시에 처리시간보다 처리농도를 높이는 방법이 병원성 미생물을 저해하는데 더욱 효과적일 것으로 보인다. 그러나 이산화염소가 병원성 미생물에 대한 저해효과는 미생물 및 오염된 원재료의 종류에 따라서 그 결과가 달라질 수 있으므로 보다 다양한 실험이 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This study compared the effects of chlorine dioxide and a commercial chlorine sanitizer for inhibiting foodborne pathogens, including Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli O157 : H7, on lettuce leaves. The lettuce samples were inoculated with each cocktail of the three strains, and were then treated with chemical sanitizers [distilled water, 100 ppm commercial chlorine and 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 200 ppm chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$)] for 1 min, 5 min, and 10 min at room temperature($22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$). Following inoculation of the leaves, initial populations of E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, and S. Typhimurium were approximately 5.54, 4.47, and 5.12 log CFU/g, respectively these levels were not significantly reduced by the treatment with water,whereas the 100 ppm commercial chlorine sanitizer treatment and $ClO_2$ (at all tested concentrations) were effective at reducing levels of all three pathogens. The treatment of 200 ppm $ClO_2$ for 10 min was most effective at inhibiting the three pathogens, and reduction levels of E. coli O157 : H7, L. monocytogenes, and S. Typhimurium were 2.28, 1.95, 1.76 log, respectively. The inhibitory effect of $ClO_2$ increased with increasing treatment concentration of $ClO_2$, but there was no significant difference by the treatment times. When chemically injured cells of E. coli O157 : H7 and L. monocytogenes and S. Typhimurium were examined by SPRAB and selective overlay methods, respectively, it was observed that the commercial chlorine sanitizer generated greater numbers of injured L. monocytogenes than the $ClO_2$ treatment. From the overall results, $ClO_2$ was more effective at inhibiting pathogenic bacteria compared to the commercial chlorine sanitizer therefore, it has potential to be utilized as an alternative sanitizer to increase the microbial safety of fresh produce.
