Abstract

Red pepper powder sensitive to aflatoxins contamination is major ingredients of kimchi. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on the changes in aflatoxin levels during kimchi fermentation. Baechu kimchi was contaminated with aflatoxins ($B_1$, $B_2$, $G_1$, and $G_2$) and inoculated with LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides), and the following characteristics were investigated for 8 weeks: pH, titratable acidity, salinity, microbial properties, and aflatoxin levels. The pH decreased rapidly during storage, and the titratable acidity was increased. The salinity of the samples was shown to increase from 2.30 to 2.40%. The total number of aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in kimchi inoculated with LAB was significantly higher than that of the others. Yeast and molds were detected at approximately 1~3 log CFU/g during storage. Coliforms were detected in the control after 4 weeks, whereas in other samples they were not detected until after 2 weeks. The aflatoxin levels reduced during kimchi fermentation. The average reduction rate of aflatoxin levels during kimchi fermentation was 8.39%, but in kimchi inoculated with Lac. plantarum and Leu. mesenteroides, the rate were 25.16 % and 27.86%, respectively. These results showed that aflatoxins can be removed by LAB during kimchi fermentation.

기후변화에 따라 오염도가 높아질 것으로 예상되는 곰팡이독소 중 아플라톡신을 김치에 오염시켜 발효 및 저장 중 이화학적 및 미생물학적 품질변화를 분석하고, 김치 제조 시 젖산균의 첨가가 아플라톡신의 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 김치의 pH는 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 급격하게 감소한 반면 산도는 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 염도는 저장기간 동안 2.30~2.40%의 수준을 유지하였다. 젖산균을 첨가한 김치의 일반세균수 및 젖산균수는 다른 시료에 비해 젖산균을 접종한 시료에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 또한 김치의 저장 중 효모 및 곰팡이 수는 약 1~3 log CFU/g 수준이 검출되었다. 대장균군은 대조구에서 저장 4주차까지 검출된 반면 다른 시료에서는 저장 2주 후 모두 불검출되었다. 아플라톡신이 오염된 김치에서 저장기간에 따라 아플라톡신이 감소하는 경향성은 확인되지 않았으나 저장 8주 동안 아플라톡신 오염수준의 평균 감소율은 AFs 오염구에서 7.1%, AFs+LP에서 21.5%, AFs+LM에서 24.1%로 나타나 젖산균을 첨가한 시료에서 감소율이 더 크게 나타났다. 아플라톡신 첨가에 따른 김치의 이화학적 및 미생물학적 품질 변화는 일반 김치와 비교 시 뚜렷한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 젖산균을 첨가한 김치의 경우 저장 중 일반세균 수 및 젖산균수가 높게 검출되고, 아플라톡신의 감소효과가 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과 김치에 Lactobacillus속이나 Leuconostoc속과 같은 젖산균 첨가 시 젖산균 증진 효과 및 아플라톡신에 노출 위험도를 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
