Abstract

Dry rehydratable film methods were compared to conventional methods for the enumeration of microorganisms in Korean traditional foods. Kimchi, doenjang, kochujang, kanjang, takju, sujeongkwa and sikhe were used as Korean traditional foods. $Petrifilm^{TM}$ aerobic count plate, $Petrifilm^{TM}$ coliform count plate, $Petrifilm^{TM}$ E. coli/coliform count plate, $Petrifilm^{TM}$ yeast and mold count plate and $Petrifilm^{TM}$ staph express count plate were compared to plate count agar, most probable number (MPN) for coliform, MPN for E. coli, potato dextrose agar and coagulase test, respectively. Regression analysis indicated that correlation coefficient values were 0.974-0.998, 0.913-0.995, 0.955-0.978, 0.968-0.986 and 0.998-0.999 for total aerobic bacteria, yeast and mold, coliform, E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. There were no significant differences between two methods, suggesting that $Petrifilm^{TM}$ plates can be used as an alternative to conventional method for the determination of microorganisms in Korean traditional foods.

우리나라 전통식품인 김치, 된장, 고추장, 간장. 탁주, 식혜, 수정과에 있는 미생물 분석을 위하여 건조필름법과 전통적인 미생물 분석법을 비교하였다. 일반세균 분석에는 plate count agar 법과 $Petrifilm^{TM}$ aerobic count plate 법을 비교하였고, 대장균군과 대장균의 분석에는 most probable number (MPN) 법과 $Petrifilm^{TM}$ coliform count plate 및 $Petrifilm^{TM}$ E. coli/colmfom count plate 법을 각각 비교하였으며, 효모와 곰팡이의 분석에는 potato dextrose agar 법과 $Petrifilm^{TM}$ yeast and mold count plate 법을 비교하였다. 황색포도상구균의 분석에는 coagulase 시험법과 $Petrifilm^{TM}$ Staph express fount plate 법을 비교하였다. 두 방법간의 상관계수는 일반세균이 0.974-0.998, 대장균군이 0.955-0.978, 대장균이 0.968-0.986, 효모와 곰팡이가 0.913-0.995, 황색포도상구균이 0.998-0.999로 두 방법간의 상관성이 매우 높았으며, 평균 미생물수에 있어서도 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 이러한 결과로부터 건조필름법이 기존의 전통적인 방법을 대체할 수 있는 미생물 분석법임이 확인되었다.
