본 연구는 국내 냉동보관창고 보관온도에 대한 조사자료를 활용하여, 온도분포를 추정하였고 이를 미생물 위해 평가(microbial risk assessment; MRA)의 입력변수로 활용 할 수 있도록 적정 확률분포 모델을 제시하였다. 조사에 참여한 8곳의 냉동보관창고에서 측정된 공간상의 온도는 최저 -25.8oC, 최고 -10.3oC, 평균 -20.48 ± 3.08oC이었으며, - 18oC이상의 냉동창고 비율은 20.4%로 조사되었다. 공간별 온도분포는 자연대류를 이용하는 냉동창고의 경우 상단 (2.4~4 m) -22.57 ± 0.84oC, 중단(1.5~2.4 m) -22.49 ± 1.05oC, 하단(0.7~1.5 m) -22.68 ± 1.03oC, 최고온도차이는 1.78oC이 었으며, 강제대류를 이용하는 냉동창고의 온도분포는 상단 (2.4~4 m) -17.81 ± 1.47oC, 중단(1.5~2.4 m) -17.94 ± 1.44oC, 하단(0.7~1.5 m) -18.08 ± 1.42oC, 최고온도차이는 0.94oC로 조사되었다. 보관온도는 냉동창고 모든 공간에서 온도가 일정하게 유지되는 것이 아니라 편차가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 수집된 온도자료는 @RISK를 이용, 적합성 검정(GOF: A-D, K-S test)을 수행하여, MRA에서 활용할 수 있는 국내 냉동보관창고 온도분포에 대한 가장 적합한 확률분포모델로 Lognormal [5.9731,3.3483, shift(-26.4281)] 이 선정하였다.

The present study aimed to develop growth prediction models of Listeria monocytogenes in processed meat products, such as mixed pressed hams, to perform accurate microbial risk assessments. Considering cold storage temperatures and the amount of time in the stages of consumption after opening, the growth of L. monocytogenes was determined as a function of temperature at 0, 5, 10, and 15 ℃, and time at 0, 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days. Based on the results of these measurements, a Baranyi model using the primary model was developed. The input parameters of the Baranyi equation in the variable temperature for polynomial regression as a secondary model were developed: SGR = 0.1715 + 0.0199T + 0.0012T2, LT = 5.5730 - 0.3215T + 0.0051T2 with R2 values 0.9972 and 0.9772, respectively. The RMSE (Root mean squared error), Bf (bias factor), and Af (accuracy factor) on the growth prediction model were determined to be 0.30, 0.72, and 1.50 in SGR (specific growth rate), and 0.10, 0.84, and 1.35 in LT (lag time), respectively. Therefore, the model developed in this study can be used to determine microorganism growth in the stages of consumption of mixed pressed hams and has potential in microbial risk assessments (MRAs).

본 연구는 전북권내 냉장·냉동식품 유통차량을 대상으로 온도관리에 대한 현황을 파악하고자 중소기업 2곳과 대기업 5곳의 운송차량 총 8대를 대상으로 온도현황을 조사하였다. 냉장·냉동식품 유통차량의 실제공간상의 온도분 포 조사결과, 참여 중소기업의 냉장차량과 냉동차량 평균 온도는 각각 8.35 ± 5.72oC, −3.45 ± 16.88oC이었고, 대기 업의 냉장차량과 냉동차량 평균온도는 각각 3.92 ± 1.44oC, −15.38 ± 2.98oC로 중소기업 보다는 낮은 온도로 운영되는 것으로 나타났다. 냉장식품 적재함의 공간위치별 온도 차이는 평균적으로 2.40oC ± 1.45oC, 냉동식품 적재함은 2.37oC ± 2.52oC의 차이가 나타났지만 공간위치별 냉장, 냉동온도 모두 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p > 0.05). 냉장·냉동식품 하역에 따른 유통차량 문 개·폐 전·후의 식품 표면온 도는 냉장식품의 경우 열린 직후 평균 2.17 ± 1.90oC에서 닫힌 직후 2.72 ± 2.36oC로 약 0.55oC 상승하였으며, 냉동 식품은 열린 직후 −18.58 ± 3.66oC에서 닫힌 직후 −17.76 ± 4.15oC로 약 1.18oC의 온도 상승이 나타났다. 본 연구결과 냉장·냉동식품 유통차량의 공간위치별, 이동 시간별, 그리 고 유통차량 문의 개·폐에 따라 다양한 온도변화가 나타 날 수 있음이 확인되었다. 따라서 유통 및 이동과정 중 온도변화를 실시간으로 확인할 수 있는 온도이력(Time- Temperature History) 추적시스템 도입에 대한 현장 적용 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 흰 민들레의 기능성 식의약품 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 탐색하기 위하여, 흰 민들레 꽃, 잎, 뿌리의 부위별 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드, 항산화 활성 및 암세포에 대 한 세포독성 효과를 분석하였다. 흰 민들레 부위별 에탄올 추 출조건에 따른 추출수율은 꽃, 잎, 뿌리가 각각 32.15±3.21%, 31.63±0.63%, 27.48±2.47%로서, 꽃 > 잎 > 뿌리의 순으로 나 타났다. 흰 민들레 부위별 에탄올 추출물에서의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 꽃 추출물에서 61.29±2.11 mg/g으로 가장 높게 나타 났으며, 그 다음이 잎(43.52±2.34 mg/g), 뿌리(11.36±1.87 mg/g) 순으로 나타났다. 흰 민들레 부위별 에탄올 추출물에서의 총 플라보노이드 함량은 총 폴리페놀 함량과 같은 경향으로 꽃 (46.11±1.88 mg/g), 잎(24.89±1.20 mg/g), 뿌리(6.31±1.22 mg/g) 의 순으로 각각 나타났다.

This study was to present the proper probability distribution models that based on the data for surveys of food cold storage temperatures as the input variables to the further MRA (Microbial risk assessment). The temperature was measured by directly visiting 7 food plants. The overall mean temperature for food cold storages in the survey was 2.55 ± 3.55oC, with 2.5% of above 10oC, −3.2oC and 14.9oC as a minimum and maximum. Temperature distributions by space-locations was 0.80 ± 1.69oC, 0.59 ± 1.68oC, and 0.65 ± 1.46oC as an upper (2.4~4 m), middle (1.5~2.4 m), and lower (0.7~1.5 m), respectively. Probability distributions were also created using @RISK program based on the measured temperature data. Statistical ranking was determined by the goodness of fit (GOF) to determine the proper probability distribution model. This result showed that the LogLogistic (−4.189, 5.9098, 3.2565) distribution models was found to be the most appropriate for relative MRA conduction.

This study was conducted to investigate the microbiological contamination levels in rice cakes and rice flour due to climate change in three areas classified to their temperature and precipitation. We investigated the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens of rice flour and 3 rice cakes such as Garaetteok, Sirutteok and Gyeongdan. Contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria in rice flour were 4.9 log CFU/g. In a total of 70 rice flour, yeasts & molds and coliforms were detected in 42 and 52 samples at the levels of 43 CFU/g and 1.29 log CFU/g, respectively. S. aureus were detected in only 1 rice flour (1.66 log CFU/g) out of 70. In an investigation of contamination levels in rice cakes, the population of total aerobic bacteria were highest in Gyeongdan (5.18 log CFU/g) and coliforms were highest in Gareattock (2.93 log CFU/g). There was no detection of E. coli and B. cereus except for only 1 Gareattock (1.20 log CFU/g). There were no differences of contamination levels among the three areas. If constant monitoring of rice cakes and rice flour is conducted on the basis of this study, it is expected to be able to analyze the change of contamination levels in rice cakes and rice flour due to climate change.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate microbiological contamination of fresh-cut produce salads and raw cabbage toward climate change. Total aerobic bacteria, coliform and Escherichia coli were monitored to get the contamination levels and E. coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. to detect pathogens with risk of foodborne disease from samples. Collection of 360 samples (180 fresh-cut produce salads and 180 raw cabbage), including 60 samples from each area after setting 3 areas depending on annual temperature and annual rainfall. As a result, total aerobic bacteria and coliform group were different was performed areas in raw cabbage but there was no difference between areas in fresh-cut produce salads. In addition foodborne pathogens including E. coli were not isolated from fresh-cut produce salads.

This study was conducted to evaluate microbial contamination levels of Korea traditional rice cakes such as Sirutteok, Garaetteok and Gyeongdan in the manufacturing process and environment. The microbial contamination levels such as total aerobic bacteria, fungi, coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens of rice cake products were analyzed. The contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, fungi and B. cereus in raw materials were in the range of 2.4~4.5, ND~1.9, 1.2~2.1 and 1.0~2.1 log CFU/g, respectively. The microbial contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, fungi and B. cereus in manufacturing process of rice cakes were increased in the soaking and grinding steps and were decreased in steaming step. E. coli, S. aureus and C. perfringens were not detected in any manufacturing process and environment. The microbial contamination levels of raw materials and final products of rice cake were suitable for microbial safety standard in Korea. However, the manufacturing environment such as equipments and employee's sanitation were in trouble for microbial safety. The results of this study suggest that safety education for personal hygiene and safety management in processing environment are continuously required to assure safety in working environment and employee's individual hygiene.

loom 1993 to 1996, 1,500 cases of foodborne disease was reported annually in Korea. Salmonellosis were 55.1% of the reported bacterial fordborne disease cases. However, in general, it is estimated that the reported incidence of salmonellosis represents less than the real incidence. This study showed that salmonellosis estimates 177,000 cases (about 150 times of reported cases) costing 5.9 billion won in Korea. Only medical costs and productivity losses were included in the estimate of costs of the 177,000 cases estimated to occur in 1996. This estimates were considerably difference to U.S.A. in cases and costs, but not significantly difference in cases/population (%), expense/GDP (%). Understanding the social economic costs of foodborne disease will be endorsed risk assessment as a necessary method for evaluation and improving food safety regulatory programs in Korea.
