BACTERIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON MAEKET SEA FOODS 3. Sanitary indicative bacteria in frozen sea foods

시판 수산식품에 대한 세균학적연구 3. 냉동식품의 위생지표세균에 관하여

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the sanitary quality of commercially frozen sea foods. One hundred and sixteen samples in six different items from several refrigeration plant in Busan city were examined from March to December in 1974. In addition, the changes in bacterial density through the process from thawing, round or semifilleted frozen alaska pollack to the finishing as frozen fillet blocks were observed. To evaluate the sanitary quality, sanitary indicative bacteria such as total coliform, fecal coliform, fecal streptococci and enterococci as well as plate counts were determined. From the results, the median value of fecal coliform MPN was 20 per 100 grams of the samples and that of enterococci was 790. The median value of plate counts was $2.2\times10^4$ per gram. The plate counts were not correlated with the number of sanitary indicative bacteria. The results suggest that enterococci could be used advantageously in preference to coliform organisms as indicative bacteria for the evaluation of sanitary quality of frozen sea foods. The plate counts at $20^{\circ}C$ of the samples were 14 times higher than that at $35^{\circ}C$. Geometric mean of total coliform MPN was 310 and that of enterococci was 143. Bacterial density was reduced by fleering. Morethan 50 percent for total coliform MPN and $35^{\circ}C$ plate counts, and about 35 percent for enterococci MPN and $20^{\circ}C$ plate counts were reduced under the contact freezing unit which was generally operated at $-40^{\circ}C$. About fifty-five percent of the samples were negative in fecal coliform test and 10 percent of those were exceeded $1.0\times10^5$ per gram in $35^{\circ}C$ plate counts.

각종 수산냉동식품에 대한 위생지표세균의 오염도를 파악하고 나아가서 위생관리에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자 1974년 3월부터 12월까지 부산시 소재 각냉동공장에서 가공된 장어, 보리별, 뱅어, 적어, 넙치, 피조개, 새조개, 새우, 굴, 명태 fillet등 12종 116시료를 수집하여 위생지표세균인 대양세균 분편계대장균, 분편계연쇄상구균, 장구균 및 일반생균수를 조사하였으며 특히 냉동 북양명태를 해동하여 fillet block로 재 동결할때 까지의 과정별로 세균의 소장을 시험하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 분편계대장균 MPN의 중앙치는 20이었고 장구균은 790이었으며 생균수의 중앙치는 $2.3\times10^4$이었다. 2. 각 위생지표세균의 오염도와 생균수사이에는 일정한 상관관계는 없었다. 3. 냉동품의 세균학적 품질을 측정하는데는 대장균 보다 장구균이 보다 명료할 것으로 생각되어진다. 4. Round혹은 semifillet 상태로 동결된 북양명태는 대부분 대장균군 음성이었으나 가공공정중에 많은 세균이 오염되었다. 5. $20^{\circ}C$배양균은 $35^{\circ}C$배양균보다 훨씬 많았으며 평균 14차 이상이었다. 6. 대장균군 MPN의 기하평균치는 310이었고 장구균은 142이었다. 7. 급속동결할때 세균의 감소율은 대장균군이나 35 배양균은 $50\%$이상이었으며 장구균이나 $20^{\circ}C$ 배양균은 약 $35\%$ 이었다. 8. 116시료중 분편계대장균 MPN 230 이상인 것은 $5,7\%$이었고 음성인 것은 $54.6\%$이었으며 생균수가 $1.0\times10^5$이상인 것은 $10.2\%$이었다.
