Abstract

Microbial and nutritional characteristics of Kwangchun shrimp Jeotgal (salt-fermented shrimp) were assessed. Total mesophilic bacteria, coliforms, and S. aureus counts in Kwangchun shrimp Jeotgal were 3.48-5.42, 2.22-2.95, and 0.58-2.51 $log_{10}CFU/g$, respectively. Yeast and mold were detected only in Ohjeot (1.99 $log_{10}CFU/g$) and Yookjeot (1.47 $log_{10}CFU/g$). B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, Vibrio spp. and E. coli were not detected in Kwangchun shrimp Jeotgal, which contained abundant macrominerals (Ca, Mg, Na, K), with Na showing highest content. Palmitic acid content was higher than those of other saturated fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid contents were higher than those of other poly unsaturated fatty acids. Results showed Kwangchun shrimp Jeotgal is safe microbiologically with abundant nutritional components.

본 연구에서는 미생물 정량시험을 통해 광천 토굴새우젓의 미생물학적인 위해성을 평가하고 일반성분 및 영양성분 분석에 의한 영양적인 평가를 실시하였다. 광천 토굴새우젓의 총호기성균의 평균오염도는 3.48-5.42 $log_{10}CFU/g$이었으며 최고오염치는 추젓-1(5.42 $log_{10}CFU/g$)과 최소오염치는 추젓-2(3.48$log_{10}CFU/g$)에서 나타났다. 대장균군의 평균오염도는 2.22-2.95 $log_{10}CFU/g$의 분포이었으며 총균수와 같은 양상인 최대오염치와 최소오염치를 각각 추젓-1(2.95 $log_{10}CFU/g$)과 추젓-2(2.22 $log_{10}CFU/g$)에서 나타났다. 진균류는 추젓-1, 추젓-2 및 동백하젓에서는 검출되지 않았으며 오젓과 육젓에서 각각 1.99와 1.47 $log_{10}CFU/g$이었다. 식중독균인 S. aureus의 평균오염도는 0.58-2.51 $log_{10}CFU/g$이었으며 추젓-1(2.51 $log_{10}CFU/g$)에서 가장 높았고 추젓-2(0.58 $log_{10}CFU/g$)에서 가장 낮았다. 기타 식중독균인 B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, Vibrio spp.와 대장균은 검출되지 않았다. 일반성분 분석결과 열량과 수분 함량은 동백하젓이 가장 높았고 지방은 추젓-2와 동백하젓이 가장 높았다. 단백질, 아미노태 질소는 동백하젓이, 회분, 탄수화물은 육젓이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 염도는 육젓과 오젓이 다른 종류의 새우젓보다 높았다. 다량무기질 함량은 모두 새우젓의 종류에 따라 유의적인 차이가 있었는데(p<0.05) 칼슘, 마그네슘, 칼륨의 함량은 모두 추젓-2에서 가장 높았다. 반면 나트륨은 추젓-2가 $297.97{\pm}1.13\;mg/100\;g$으로 가장 낮게 나타났고 육젓은 $908.12{\pm}9.20\;mg/100\;g$으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 미량 무기질 함량 중 철분은 동백하젓이, 구리와 망간 함량은 오젓이, 셀레늄 함량은 추젓-1이 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 아미노산 분석결과 glutamic aicd의 함량이 가장 높게 분석되었고 지방산은 포화지방산 중 팔미트산, 불포화지방산 중 불포화도가 높은 eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA), docosahexaenoic acid(DHA)의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 광천토굴새우젓은 미생물학적으로 안전하며, 영양학적으로는 무기질 함량이 풍부하고 감칠맛을 내는 아미노산 성분이 함유되어 있으며 혈청지질 감소, 혈관 확장, 혈압강하, 두뇌성장발달에 관여하는 n-3계 지방산인 EPA, DHA의 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 우리나라의 전통 식품이면서 지역특산물인 광천토굴새우젓은 그 이용가치가 높다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
