Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate microbiologically cooking utensils, equipment employees, and environment in 12 large Korean, Western, Chinese, and Japanese restaurant. Microbiological testing was conducted for pathogens including E. coli, Samolnella, L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, E. coli O157:H7, V. parahaemolyticus, B. cereus, and Y. enterocolitica as well as total plate count and coliforms. The results showed cooking water and drinking water in some Korean restaurants and drinking water in some Western and Japanese restaurants were unsatisfactory, especially, barley tea, which was cooled after being boiled, was unsatisfactory. Most cooking utensils such as knives, cutting boards, kitchen towels, tongs, and basket had total plate and coliforms count in excess of standards, and knives and cutting boards at some Chinese restaurant had E. coli. At some restaurant, S. aureus was found on some food worker's hands. Also, the total plate count of the air showed a high count around worktables, inside the refrigerator, and in the kitchen in most restaurants. These result suggest that sanitation needs improvement in the environments in these foodservice establishment.

대구지역 대형식품접객업소 한식, 양식, 일식, 중식 각 3곳씩 12개 업소를 대상으로 조리기기 및 용기(칼, 도마, 행주, 집게, 바구니 등),조리종사자 손 및 조리 작업환경에 대한 미생물학적 위해를 분석하였다. 일부 한식당 조리수와 음용수의 일반세균 및 대장군균수가 $10^5\;CFU/mL,\;10^2{\sim}10^3\;CFU/mL$범위로 검출되어 기준치에 부적합하였다. 특히 끓여서 식힌 보리차를 제공할 경우 음용수에 대한 미생물적 수치가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 일부 양식당과 일식당의 음용수도 기준치에 부적합하였다. 모든 유형의 업소에서 대부분의 조리기구의 일반세균 및 대장균군수가 기준치인 $2.5{\times}10^3\;CFU/100cm^2,\;1.0{\times}10^1\;CFU/100cm^2$를 초과하여 위생상태가 매우 불량한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 일부 중식당의 칼, 도마에서 E. coli가 $10^1{\sim}10^2\;CFU/100cm^2$ 검출되어 이에 대한 시정조치가 필요하였다. 대부분 업소에서 맨손으로 작업하였으며 조리종사자의 손의 일반세균 수 범위는 $10^2{\sim}10^7/hand$, 대장균군의 범위는 $0{\sim}10^6/hand$로 그 수치가 높아 손에 의한 음식물의 오염 위험도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 일부 한식당 조리종사자 손에서 황색포도상구균이 $1.3{\times}10^3/hand$로 검출되어 조리종사자의 손의 위생상태가 불량한 것으로 조사되었다. 작업대와 주방에서의 일반세균 및 진균의 공중낙하균이 최고 52 CFU/plate/10 min, 19 CFU/plate/10 min로 검출되어 작업환경 오염도가 높았으며 일부 업소에서는 냉장고 내의 공중부유물 오염도 또한 높은 것으로 나타나 식품접객업소의 작업환경에 대한 전반적인 개선이 요구되었다.
