초록

본 연구는 신선채소류의 대형매장과 재래시장에서의 청결도를 비교하기 위하여 시중에 유통 중인 상추, 깻잎, 오이를 서울과 경기남부의 15개 대형매장과 21개 재래시장에서 sampling하여 총호기성균, 대장균군, Escherichia coli 및 Listeria monocytogenes의 오염도 수준을 평가하였다. 대형매장과 재래시장에서의 상추, 깻잎, 오이의 총호기성균과 대장균군의 오염도는 유의차가 없었다(p>0,05).그러나 3가지 채소에서의 총호기성균 오염수준은 상추, 깻잎, 오이 순으로 나타났으며 그 수준은 각각 평균 $7.01{\pm}0.14\;log_{10}CFU/g$(대형)과 $7.10{\pm}0.11\;log_{10}CFU/g$(재래), $6.69{\pm}0.20\;log_{10}CFU/g$(대형)과 $6.44{\pm}0.13\;log_{10}CFU/g$(재래), $5.37{\pm}0.25\;log_{10}CFU/g$(대형)과 $5.27{\pm}0.19\;log_{10}CFU/g$(재래)이었으며 대장균군의 오염 순위 또한 같은 양상을 보였다. E. coli 검출률 역시 3가지 채소 모두에서 매장간의 유의적 차이는 없었으며(p>0.05) 상추와 깻잎은 대형매장과 재래시장 모두에서 $30\%$ 이상의 빈도로 검출되었으나, 오이에서는 $10\%$ 미만의 검출빈도를 보였다. L. monocytogenes는 모든 채소에서 검출되지 않았다(ND: 오이 <3 CFU/g, 상추, 깻잎<10 CFU/g). 따라서 본 연구에서 측정된 오염수준은 신선채소류의 미생물 위해평가(MRA)프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study monitored and compared the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, Escherichia coli, and L. monocytogenes of either lettuce, sesame leaf, or cucumber sampled from either 15 super markets(SM) or 21 traditional markets(TM) located in both Seoul and the southern part of Gyunggi. Contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria and coliforms in lettuce, sesame leaf, or cucumber from SM or TM were not (p>0.05) significantly different. The highest contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria were observed in lettuce and followed by sesame leaf and cucumber. The contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria in lettuce, sesame leafs, and cucumbers were $7.01{\pm}0.14\;log_{10}CFU/g(SM)$ and $7.10{\pm}0.11\;log_{10}CFU/g(TM)$, $6.69{\pm}0.20\;log_{10}CFU/g(SM)$ and $6.44{\pm}0.13\;log_{10}CFU/g(TM)$, and $5.37{\pm}0.25 \;log_{10}CFU/g(SM)$ and $5.27{\pm}0.19\;log_{10}CFU/g(TM)$, respectively. A similar pattern of contamination rank was observed with the coliforms in three vegetables as was observed with the total aerobic bacteria E. coli were not significantly (p>0.05) different between SM and TM and isolated over $30\%$ in lettuce and sesame leaf and below $10\%$ in cucumbers. L. monocytogenes were not detected in all three vegetables(ND: cucumber <3 CFU/g, lettuce and sesame leaf <10 CFU/g). The microbial contamination levels determined in the present study may be used as the primary data to execute microbial risk assessment of fresh vegetables.
