시중에 유통 중인 샐러드와 김밥을 각각 100종 수거하 여 B. cereus 함량을 정량분석하였다. 샐러드는 불검출이 54종이었으며 10 CFU/g 이하가 8종, 100 CFU/g 이하가 25 종, 1,000 CFU/g 이하가 11종이었으며 1,000 CFU/g 이상인 것이 2종이었다. 샐러드의 대한 모니터링 결과 평균은 1.18 log CFU/g 이었으며 표준편차는 0.71 log CFU/g이었다. 김밥에서는 100개의 검체중 20개의 검체에서 B. cereus가 검출되었으며 평균은 1.01 log CFU/g 이었으며 표준편차는 0.71 log CFU/g이었다. 모니터링 결과를 이용하여 통계적 검체채취 방법을 수립하고자 하였다. 검체채취 방법은 국제미생물위원회에서 제공하는 검체채취프로그램인 NEW sampleplan program을 이용하였으며 검체갯수를 고정한 후 미생물 기준인 m과 M, 그리고 허용한계값인 c 값을 변화 하면서 산출되는 합격률이 0.95에 가장 근사한 값을 선정하였다. 그 결과 샐러드, 김밥에서의 가장 적합한 검체채취 기준은 3분법을 사용하는 것으로 n = 5, c = 0, m = 1,000, M = 10,000과 n = 5, c = 2, m = 100, M = 1,000의 기준이 설정되었다. 특히 후자에 서술된 기준은 현재 뉴질랜드에서 즉석섭취식품에서의 B. cereus에 대한 규격으로 사용하고 있어 국제적인 경향에도 부합함을 알 수 있었다.

This research was designed to develop a computer program and evaluate the nutritional balances especially the balance of fatty acids, amino acids and antioxidant vitamins for convenience foods. The Korean convenience food, Kimbab purchased from markets was evaluated by using the self-developed computer program. Contents of calories, protein and calcium were lower(1/3˚＋1/2) than the recommended levels of Korean adult woman, and the carbohydrate/ protein/ fat(CPF) energy ratio was 70: 13: 17. The mean P/ M/ S ratio was 2.2/ 1.4/ 1 and that of Ω6/ Ω3 fatty acids was 17.9/ 1, which was higher than the desirable ratio of 4~8/ 1. Average essential amino acid balance of market-Kimbab samples was within the desirable range even though the absolute amount of protein was lower than the recommended level. Contents of antioxidant vitamins (A, C &E) were lower than recommended levels. Two kinds of nutritionally adjusted Kimbab menu were established by self-developed computer program. Some of major changes was adding food ingredients such as tuna fish and perilla leaf cooked with sesame oil and soybean oil to increase Ω3 series fatty acids. Some fruits and milk were also added to the menu. The adjusted CPF ratios was 63: 15: 22 and the new values for P/ M/ S and Ω6/ Ω3 fatty acids ratios were 1.0/ 1.2/ 1/0 and 6.1/ 1 respectively. In sensory evaluation of two kinds of adjusted Kimbab, the taste and overall estimation scores were higher than unadjusted Kimbab. The computer program developed in this study might be used as a tool for the evaluation of nutritional balance of other convenience foods and menu planning.

The distribution of bacteria in kimbab and its ingredients have been investigated. The total bacterial counts were over 3 × l0³/g(n=30) when the kimbabs were delivered to restaurant and it e×ceeded the legal level 1 × 10^5/g defined by the Code of Food Standard in 1991. The gram-negative coliforms were also detected 1.9 × 10^5/g. In order to study the cause of bacterial contamination in kimbabs, the ingredients used in kimbabs were examined. The bacterial counts were found 10⁴-10^5/g for kim (layer), 10⁴-l0^5/g for sausage, 10⁴-l0^6/g for boiled-spinach, 10³-10^7/g for carrot, and 10³-10^6/g for Danmyji, respectively. From these results it could be concluded that the bacterial contamination in Kimbabs was caused mainly by the ingredients such as kim, boiled-spinach, carrot, and sausage. Therefore, this suggested that the sanitary manufacture of kim, the storage at refrigerator temperature of the ingredients for kimbabs, and the proper treatment of equipments should be maintained in order to reduce the bacterial contamination for kimbaba. Furthermore, it should be required to obtain the basal data for establishment of the sanitary standard of kim and kimbab.

Purpose - The self quality inspection which is mandatory in Republic of Korea can play an important role in promoting food safety, but the cost for self quality inspection is also a big burden especially for small businesses. In addition, excessive or duplicated inspection costs resulting from the standard gaps of various ministries and agencies ultimately effect negative social utility. Thus, this paper aims to suggest ways to improve the analysis of self quality inspection for the Ready-to-Eat Foods in terms of dried laver, in order to reduce costs caused by overinclusion. Research design, data, and methodology - The focus of interest is seaweed in Kimbab, which is to be exempted from the Vibrio parahaemolyticus test on the three grounds. First, existing literature provides little support for the necessity of performing a microbiological test. Second, laver products do not require the V.parahaemolyticus test by international standards such as the CODEX. Third, no case was found for seaweed products on the list of information on failed food items over the 2015~16 period. Results - Other types of seaweed such as exportable and seasoning seaweed are not subject to the test. Hence, exclusion of the V.pahaemolyticus test on seaweed is a valid point, bringing about large expected cost savings to many small businesses. Conclusions - Based on a complete survey of 75 food-testing agencies from March 20th to 30th, 2018, this paper finds that the proposed revision of the Kimbab test is likely to save an average of 130,000 won per business per year. Especially, in the case of the testing fee of Salmonella spp.(n,c,m,M), the cost difference by agencies was found to be up to five times. The regional gap in testing fees can be considered an unfair barrier. Accordingly, it is necessary to examine whether the testing fee is set at an appropriate level through the cost-extraction program proposed by the Ministry Food and Drug Safety. Hence, the survey results also point out that harmonization of testing fees charged by different food-testing agencies is appropriate with respect to transparency and efficiency.
