Abstract

This study investigated the microbiological contamination of tomato in cultivation and distribution stage. Growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogens examined in tomato extracts (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0%) and incubation temperatures (5, 15, 25, and $35^{\circ}C$). In cultivation stage of tomato, total aerobic bacteria were 7.77 log CFU/g in gloves of APC (Agricultural Products Processing Center) worker and Bacillus cereus were 0.33 log CFU/g at nutrient tank, respectively. And Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., were not detected. After APC stage, total aerobic bacteria were significantly higher compared with before-APC stage. Among of general, pesticide-free and organic produce in tomato were no significant difference in microbial contamination. Coliforms of tomato in small vinyl package were significantly higher when compared to tomato in whole boxes package. There was no significant difference in bacteria count between unwashed tomato and washed tomato using tap water for one minute. The growth of E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogens in tomato extracts were decreased significantly as the concentration increased, and the microbial population was reached the lowest point during storage in 10% tomato extracts concentration for 72h at $5^{\circ}C$. However, the population of E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogens were gradually increased at 7.33~8.51 and 7.73~8.60 log CFU/ml during storage at $15{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ for 72h, respectively.

본 연구에서는 토마토의 생산 및 유통단계에서의 위해 미생물 오염도 정도를 파악하고 유통과정 중 외부 손상으로 인해 과즙 유출시 미생물의 증식능력을 측정하기 위해 E. coli O157:H7와 L. monocytogenes의 성장을 토마토 추출물 함량(0.1, 1.0, 10%) 및 다양한 배양온도(5, 15, 25, $35^{\circ}C$)에서 측정하였다. 수확단계에서는 APC 작업 종사자의 장갑에서 총 호기성 세균이 7.77 log로 가장 높게 나타났고, 배양 양액에서 대장균군과 B. cereus가 각각 0.33 log 검출되었다. 수확 후 처리과정으로 APC 과정을 거친 토마토에서 총 호기성 세균이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 그 외에 S. aureus, Salmonella spp. 는 검출되지 않았다. 재배방법에 따른 일반, 유기농, 무기농 토마토에서의 미생물 분포도의 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 포장 방법 중 봉지 포장제품이 박스 포장제품에 비해 대장균군이 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며 세척에 의한 미생물 저감화 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 토마토 추출물 함량이 높을수록 E. coli O157:H7와 L. monocytogenes의 성장이 높게 나타났으며, 토마토 추출물 10%인 경우 $5^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 가장 낮았고, 15, 25, $35^{\circ}C$에서 72시간 배양시 각각 7.33~8.51, 7.73~8.60 log CFU/g으로 증식하였다.
