Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore methods for efficient management of the quality and safety of simple processed agricultural products in Busan. We tested 258 samples of simple processed agricultural products for distribution of aerobic bacteria and coliforms, and identified food-borne pathogens. The average aerobic bacterial and coliforms counts were 7.1 and 4.1 log CFU/g in simple processed vegetables, 6.8 and 3.5 log CFU/g in dried vegetables, and 6.2 and 2.9 log CFU/g in simple processed fruits. Additionally Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter jejuni/coli and Listeria monocytogenes were not detected in any samples. However, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens and E. coli were detected in 41 samples (16.3%), 2 samples (0.8%), and 4 samples (1.6%), respectively. This analysis revealed that none of C. perfringens and E. coli isolates harbored pathogenic toxic genes. However, all of B. cereus isolates carried at least 1 toxin gene.

부산지역 마트 및 농산물도매시장에서 구매한 단순가공 농산물 258건 대상으로 미생물학적 오염실태를 조사하기 위해 일반 세균수 및 대장균군수를 측정하였고 이를 세 가지 기준으로 분류하여 비교하였다. 먼저 단순가공 농산물을 가공식품과 농산물로 나누어 살펴본 결과 농산물의 일반세균수 평균값이 약 2배가량 높고, 최고값 또한 약 5배나 높았다. 단순가공채소류, 건나물류, 단순가공과일류로 분류하여 ANOVA분석을 실시한 결과 매우 높은 통계적 유의차를 보였으며 단순가공채소류의 경우 일반 세균수 7.1 log CFU/g, 대장균군 4.1 log CFU/g, 건나물류의 경우 일반세균수 6.8 log CFU/g, 대장균군 3.5 log CFU/g, 단순가공과 일류는 일반세균수 6.2 log CFU/g, 대장균군 2.9 log CFU/g의 평균값을 나타내어 가식부가 토양과 가까울수록 일반세균수 및 대장균군의 오염도가 높음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 단순조리용으로 분류된 단순가공 농산물 185건 중 일반세균수가 5,000,000 CFU/g 이상인 제품은 67건(36.2%), 대장균군수가 1,000 CFU/g 이상인 제품은 43건(23.2%)이었고, 즉석섭취용 단순가공 농산물 73건 중 일반세균수가 500,000 CFU/g 이상인 제품은 32건(43.8%), 대장균 군수가 100 CFU/g 이상인 제품은 총 12건(16.4%)이었다. 식중독균 7종에 대한 오염 실태를 조사한 결과 살모넬라, 캠필로박터 제주니/콜리, 리스테리아 모노사이토제네스는 모두 음성, 황색포도알세균은 0 CFU/g으로 모두 불검출되었다. 병원성대장균의 경우 분리된 대장균 4건(1.6%) 모두 건나물류에서 검출되었고 독소유전자는 확인되지 않았으나 분변 오염 가능성을 배재할 수 없다. 클로스트리듐 퍼프린젠스는 2건(0.8%) 모두 50 CFU/g 검출되었고 독소유전자는 보유하고 있지 않았다. 바실러스 세레우스는 41건(16.3%) 검출되었으며 분리된 바실러스 세레우스 60주에 대한 1종류의 구토독소와 9종류의 장독소 유전자 확인 결과 모두 1종류 이상의 독소 유전자를 보유하고 있었으며 9종류 장독소 유전자를 모두 보유하는 경우가 15주(25%)로 가장 많았고, 구토독소는 1주(2%)가 검출되었다. 현재 유통되는 단순가공농산물은 그 형태와 범위가 방대하여 이를 모두 식품위생법으로 관리하기에는 과한 규제이며 가공 공정이나 용도 등과 같은 명확한 기준으로 농산물과 가공식품을 나누어 관리하는 것을 제안한다. 즉 즉석섭취가 가능한 다진 마늘, 절단 과일 등은 식품위생법의 가공식품으로 관리하는 등 통일된 규제가 필요하며, 세척, 가열 조리하여 섭취하는 단순가공 농산물의 경우 위생적 생산 관리, 냉장 유통, 세척 문구 표시의무화 등과 같은 구체적인 위생관리 방안을 마련하여 관리하는 것이 바람직하다.
