Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate effects of chemical sanitizers on inhibiting foodborne pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium), and E scherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7), on cabbages. Cabbages were inoculated with the culture cocktail of pathogens and treated with water, 100 ppm commercial chlorine, and 50, 100, and 200 ppm chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) for 1, 5, and 10 min at room temperature ($22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$). Treatments with water did not significantly reduce levels of three pathogens whereas other treatments with chemical sanitizers significantly reduced levels of three pathogens. Treatment with 200 ppm $ClO_2$ for 10 min was the most effective at inhibiting pathogens and reduction levels were 1.90, 1.92, and 1.98 log CFU/g for L. monocytogens, S. Typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7, respectively. Levels of reduction were increased with the increase of $ClO_2$ concentrations. When chemically injured cells were investigated, there were no significant differences on the levels of injured cells between before and after treatment with commercial chlorine and $ClO_2$. These results suggest that $ClO_2$ can be used as an alternative sanitizer for reducing pathogens on fresh produces.

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.
