Abstract

To evaluate the storage characteristics of pheasant meat products, contents of aerobic, anaerobic and food poisoning bacteria as well as VBN were measured during storage at various temperatures. 1. During the storage Escherichia coli and food poisoning bacteria including Salmonella, Shigella and Staphylococcus were not detected from any of the pheasant meat products. 2. Total plate counts of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria increased with storage temperature, showing more than $10^6CFU/g$ of most pheasant meat products within 5~10 days of storage at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. However, frank sausage, loin ham, pressed ham and salad showed less than $10^5CFU/g$ in 20~30 days of storage at $20^{\circ}C$. 3. When stored at $10^{\circ}C$, smoked product, electric roasted product and pressed ham showed the bacterial counts of more than $10^4CFU/g$ within 10 days of storage. Frank sausage, loin ham and salad, however, showed less than $10^3CFU/g$ in 10 days of storage at $10^{\circ}C$. 4. VBN contents of smoked product, electric roasted product and frank sausage exceeded edible limit of 20 mg%, showing more than 40 mg% and 80 mg% within 5 days and 10 days, respectively, of storage at $10^{\circ}C$. In contrast, loin ham, pressed ham and salad had the VBN of less than 20 mg% in 10 days of storage at $10^{\circ}C$. In summary, while pheasant meat products in general appear to be prone to microbial growth, loin ham and salad are thought to have a longer storage period than others, showing about 10 days of preservation at $10^{\circ}C$. Products other than loin ham and salad are suggested to be stored frozen or refrigerated at below $10^{\circ}C$.

꿩고기 가공제품들의 저장성을 평가하기 위하여 이들 제품을 온도별로 저장하면서 호기성 및 혐기성 세균과 식중독균을 검사하고 VBN 함량을 측정하여 그 신선도 유지상태를 검사하였다. 1. 가공제품의 저장 중 Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus속 균 등 식중독 원인균과 Escherichia coli는 어느 제품에서도 검출되지 않았다. 2. 저장온도가 높을수록 호기성 및 혐기성 미생물의 증식속도가 빨라 $20^{\circ}C$$30^{\circ}C$ 저장에서는 대부분의 제품들이 5~10일 이내에 $10^6/g$ 이상의 균수를 보였으나 frank sausage, Ioin harm, pressed ham, salad 제품은 $20^{\circ}C$ 저장시 20~30일까지 $10^5/g$ 이하의 균수를 보였다. 3. $10^{\circ}C$ 저장에서는 훈연제품, 전기구이, pressed ham은 10일 이내에 $10^4/g$ 이상을 보였으나, frank sausage, Ioin ham, salad 제품은 $10^3/g$ 이하를 보여 비교적 좋은 저장성을 보였다. 4. 가공제품의 저장온도가 높을수록 VBN 함량이 높았으며, 훈연제품, 전기구이, frank sausage는 $10^{\circ}C$ 저장에서도 5일에 40mg%, 10일에 80mg% 이상을 보여 가식한계를 벗어났으나, Ioin ham, pressed ham, salad는 $10^{\circ}C$ 저장에서 10일까지 20mg%이하의 VBN 값을 보여 비교적 양호한 저장성을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 꿩고기 가공제품들은 비교적 저장성이 약한 것으로 보이나 이들중 Ioin ham과 salad는 타제품에 비하여 저장성이 좋아 $10^{\circ}C$에서 약 10일 정도의 보존이 가능하다고 사료되며, Ioin ham과 salad 외의 제품들은 $10^{\circ}C$ 이하의 냉장 및 냉동유통이 바람직하다고 사료된다.
