  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different sanitizers and contact times on storage quality and microbial growth in fresh-cut broccoli. Fresh broccoli samples were cut into small pieces, washed each for 90 s and 180 s in normal tap water (TW), $100\;{\mu}/l$ chlorinated water (CL, pH 7), electrolyzed water (EW, pH 7.2) containing $100\;{\mu}/l$ free chlorine, or $2\;{\mu}/l$ ozonated water ($O_3$). Then, samples were packaged in 30-${\mu}m$ polyethylene bags and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 9 days. No significant differences were observed in gas composition and color parameters ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$, and hue angle) among different sanitizers with contact times. No off-odor was detected during the storage. A longer contact time was not effective in reducing microbial population, except with $O_3$ washing. $O_3$ with 90 s was not much effective in reducing microbial population compared with Cl or EW. However, samples washed with $O_3$ for 180 s observed the lowest numbers of total aerobic and coliform plate counts. The result suggested that, a longer contact time of ozone can be used as a potential sanitizer to maintain the microbial quality and safety of fresh-cut broccoli.

  • 환경친화적인 농산물 살균소독 세척방법으로 소성칼슘 및 열처리에 의한 신선편이 브로콜리 저장 중 품질 및 미생물적인 안전성 향상 효과를 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 브로콜리를 절단한 뒤 수돗물, $50{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 염소수 및 $1.5g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 소성칼슘 용액과 $45^{\circ}C$의 수돗물 열처리, 열처리와 살균소독제를 혼합한 $45^{\circ}C$$1.5g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 소성칼슘 용액에서 각각 2분 세척하였다. 그리고 신선편이 브로콜리를 $50{\mu}m$ PE 필름에 포장하여 $5^{\circ}C$에서 9일 저장하면서 기체조성, 전기전도도, 미생물수, 색 및 관능적인 품질을 조사하였다. 포장내부의 기체조성은 열처리에서 $O_2$ 농도가 낮고, $CO_2$ 농도는 높았으나 비열처리구에서는 살균소독 방법 간에 차이가 없었다. 소성칼슘 및 염소수 살균소독처리는 수돗물 처리보다 신선편이 브로콜리의 미생물 감소에 효과적이었고 열처리는 저장 3일까지는 효과가 있었으나 6일 이후에는 나타나지 않았다. 전기전도도는 소성칼슘 + 열처리에서 높게 나타났고, 색은 저장기간이 지나면서 명도가 낮아지고 황색도는 증가하였으나 살균소독 처리간에는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 신선편이 브로콜리 저장 중 미생물수는 소성칼슘 단독처리가 염소수와 비슷한 수준으로 저장 9일 동안 일반세균수 제어효과를 나타냈고, 대장균군도 수돗물 처리보다 저장기간 내내 적게 나타났다. 또한 브로콜리 절단면의 변색 억제에는 열처리가 효과적이었으나 이취는 높게 나타났으며, 비열처리구에서 소성칼슘 용액처리는 염소수와 같이 수돗물보다 외관이 우수하고, 이취가 적게 나타났다. 따라서 소성칼슘 처리는 환경친화적인 방법으로서 신선편이 브로콜리의 염소 살균소독 세척을 대체할 수 있는 방법으로 판단되었다.

  • This study was conducted to examine the inactivation effect of the combined treatment of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP; 400 MPa for 1, 3, and 5 min) and cationic surfactant washing (0.05% benzethonium chloride, BEC) against Listeria monocytogenes inoculated on fresh-cut broccoli (FCB). Washing with BEC at concentrations exceeding 0.05% resulted in 2.3 log-reduction of L. monocytogenes counts on FCB, whereas HHP treatment had approximately 5.5-5.6 log-reductions regardless of the treatment time. Scanning electron microscopy corroborated microbial enumeration, revealing that the combined treatment was more effective in removing L. monocytogenes from FCB than individual treatment with HHP or BEC. Color and total glucosinolate content were maintained after the combined treatment, although the hardness of the FCB slightly decreased. The results clearly suggest that the combined treatment of HHP and BEC washing has potential value as a new sanitization method to improve the microbial safety of FCB.
