Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the microbial populations of dried raw materials (9 products) and Saengsik powder. The samples were gammairradiated at doses of 2, 4, 6 and 8 kGy and the microbiological populations were evaluated. The total numbers of bacteria and Bacillus cereus in non-irradiated dried-raw materials for Saengsik powder was 1.3~3.4 and $1.7{\sim}2.4log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$. However, gamma irradiation reduced the microbiological populations in all samples, and Saengsik powder were sterilized at more than 6 kGy. Moreover, Clostridium perfringens were not observed in all samples within detection limit (<$1log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$). Therefore, the results of this study suggest that gamma irradiation at 6 kGy is sufficient to sterilize Saengsik powder, and thus, irradiated Saengsik powder at 6 kGy fulfills the microbiological requirements for sterilized food.
