새싹 채소 중 무순의 위생적인 재배 조건을 설정하기 위하여 종자세척 및 관수로서 이산화염소수, citric acid 및 glycerin의 적용 효과를 조사하였다. 무 종자에 인위적으로 오염시키기 위하여 Salmonella typhimurium은 실험실 조건에서 배양하였으며, 무 종자를 S. typhimurium 현탁액에 침지시켜 균수를 약 로 조절하였다. 무 종자에 대한 세척 효과는 이산화염소수 및 citric acid의 단독처리보다 병행처리시
The effect of citric acid-aqueous chlorine dioxide () treatment of radish seeds artificially contaminated with Salmonella typhimurium was studied. Radish seeds were inoculated by immersion, in more than 106 log CFU/g seed, of a suspension of S. typhimurium, dried, and stored sealed at Radish seeds soaked in 200 ppm aqueous ClO2 solution for 10 min showed a bacterial reduction of 1.08 log CFU/g seed, and the lowering of microbial burden noted in seeds soaked in 2% (w/v) citric acid solution for 10 min was 2.89 log CFU/g seed. Next, radish seeds were exposed to 0.5% (v/v) glycerol solution for 10 min either before or after treatment with 200 ppm aqueous ClO2 or 2% (w/v) citric acid for 10 min. Glycerol exposure after citric acid treatment reduced bacteria by 3.46 log CFU/g seed, and glycerol treatment after aqueous treatment reduced the microbial burden by 2.14 log CFU/g seed. Both glycerol treatments yielded better elimination of S. typhimurium than did a single treatment with either citric acid or aqueous . Radish seeds inoculated with S. typhimurium were treated throughout the entire growth period. Although radish seed treatment was effective, treatment by citric acid and aqueous after sprouting was not effective to eliminate S. typhimurium.
