Abstract

Inactivation of microorganisms in grains used for saengshik, a formulated health food, was attempted by corona discharge plasma jet (CDPJ). The initial microbial counts of the grains were in the range of $1.7{\times}10^3-9.9{\times}10^5CFU/g$. The CDPJ-inactivation effect was increased with electric current in the range of 1-1.5 A. Regarding span length between the tips of the electrodes and the treatment surface, the highest inactivation effect was observed at 25 mm. The inactivation pattern fitted well to the Singh-Heldman model. Bacteria were more labile to the CDPJ inactivation than yeasts and molds. Among tested grains, white rice showed the highest sterility followed by pressed barley and brown rice. Despite the inactivation by plasma, the thiobarbituric acid content of the grains remained unchanged over 10 min of treatment. Our results indicated the potential of the CDPJ treatment to improve the hygiene of saengshik products with no remarkable changes in lipid quality.

생식제조에 사용되는 곡류의 미생물 오염을 저감하기 위하여 코로나방전플라즈마제트(CDPJ)를 사용하여 곡류 표면의 미생물을 살균을 시도하고, CDPJ 처리에 따른 곡류 품질변화 여부를 조사하였다. 곡류의 초기 오염도는 $1.7{\times}10^3-9.9{\times}10^5CFU/g$ 정도를 보였다. 곡류에 대한 CDPJ의 살균력은 1-1.5 A 범위에서 전류세기에 따라 증가하였으며, 토출거리 25 mm에서 가장 양호한 살균 효과를 나타냈다. 곡류 미생물의 CDPJ 살균패턴은 의사 1차반응 모델인 Singh-Heldman 모델에 부합하였고, 세균이 진균에 비해 더 민감한 살균효과를 보였다. 곡류별로는 백미가 가장 잘 살균되었고, 압맥, 현미 순으로 살균효과가 낮아졌다. 처리시간 10분 이하의 처리는 곡류의 TBA가에 영향을 주지 않아 CDPJ 처리는 생식제조용 곡류의 지방특성을 변화시키지 않고 미생물을 저감함으로써 생식의 위생 향상에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
