Abstract

This study investigated the washing efficiency of electrolyzed water for the removal of microorganisms and pesticide residues from Chinese cabbage. Initial total bacteria and coliform counts were 6.64 and 3.56 log cfu/g respectively. After washing, total bacteria count of tap water (TW) were 5.97 log cfu/g and low alkaline electrolyzed water (LAlEW) and strong acidic electrolyzed water (SAcEW) were 1.63-4.67 log cfu/g. Especially SAcEW-100 was found to the most effective method of washing the cabbages. After washing, the coliform count was dramatically reduced. The removal rate of pesticide residues by NaClO treatment (36.93-50.13%) was greater than that of TW treatment (32.28-38.46%). The removal rate of LAlEW-100 and SAcEW-100 was 63.79 and 78.30% respectively, and was higher than those of TW and NaClO treatments. The vitamin C content of the Chinese cabbages after all treatments did not differ significantly. Consequentially, the electrolyzed water was found to be effective to remove bacteria and pesticide residues from Chinese cabbage without affecting quality.

위생적인 배추 생산을 위해 전기분해수를 이용하여 미생물 저해효과와 잔류농약 제거효과에 대해 연구하였다. 대조구는 TW로 세척하였으며, 상업적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 NaOCl 용액으로 세척하여 비교하였다. 배추의 초기 총균수와 대장균군수는 각각 6.64, 3.56 log cfu/g 수준이었으며 침지 시간이 길어질수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 10분 경과 후, TW 처리구는 5.97 log cfu/g 수준이었으며 LAlEW와 SAcEW 처리구는 1.63-4.67 log cfu/g 수준으로 감소하였다. 특히 SAcEW-100처리구는 1.63 log cfu/g 수준으로 초기에 비해 5 log scale 이상 감소하여 가장 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 대장균군수는 초기에 3.56 log cfu/g 수준에서 10분 경과 후, TW와 NaOCl-50 처리구를 제외하고 검출되지 않았다. 잔류농약의 경우, 초기 chlorpyrifos, prothiofos 및 deltamethrin 함량은 각각 1.13, 1.91 및 0.67 ppm이었다. 세척 후, TW 처리는 32.28-38.46% 감소하였으며 NaOCl 처리구의 감소율은 36.93-50.13%으로 TW의 1.5배 수준 감소하였다. LAlEW-100 처리구와 SAcEW-100 처리구의 감소율은 63.79-78.30% 감소하여 TW와 NaOCl 처리구에 비해 효과적이었다. 비타민 C함량은 세척수에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결과적으로 전기분해수는 품질에 영향을 주지 않으면서 미생물 제어와 잔류농약 제거에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
