Abstract

The purpose of this study was to present management guidelines for critical control points by analyzing microbiological hazardous elements through screening Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHF) menus in an effort improve the microbiological quality of foods prepared by restaurant operations. Steamed spinach with seasoning left at room temperature presents a range of risk temperatures which microorganisms could flourish, and it exceeded all microbiological safety limits in our study. On the other hand, steamed spinach with seasoning stored in a refrigerator had Aerobic Plate Counts of $2.86{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$ and all other microbiological tests showed that their levels were below the limit. The standard plate counts of raw materials of lettuce and tomato were $4.66{\pm}0.4{\log}\;CFU/g$ and $3.08{\pm}0.4{\log}\;CFU/g$, respectively. Upon washing, the standard plate counts were $3.12{\pm}0.6{\log}\;CFU/g$ and $2.10{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$, respectively, but upon washing after chlorination, those were $2.23{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$ and $0.72{\pm}0.7{\log}\;CFU/g$, respectively. The standard plate counts of baby greens, radicchio and leek were $6.02{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$, $5.76{\pm}0.1{\log}\;CFU/g$ and $6.83{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$, respectively. After 5 minutes of chlorination, the standard plate counts were $4.10{\pm}0.6{\log}\;CFU/g$, $5.14{\pm}0.1{\log}\;CFU/g$ and $5.30{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$, respectively. After 10 minutes of chlorination treatment, the standard plate counts were $2.58{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$, $4.27{\pm}0.6{\log}\;CFU/g$, and $4.18{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$, respectively. The microbial levels decreased as the time of chlorination increased. This study showed that the microbiological quality of foods was improved with the proper practices of time-temperature control, sanitization control, seasoning control, and personal and surface sanitization control. It also presents management guidelines for the control of potentially hazardous foods at the critical control points in the process of restaurant operations.

연구는 외식업체에서 제공하고 있는 식단 중에 PHF(Potentially Hazardous Foods)메뉴를 Screening하여, 미생물적 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 중점관리기준의 관리방안을 제시하고자 하는 목적으로 연구가 진행되었다. 1. 실온에 방치되어 있던 시금치나물은 미생물 증식이 가능한 위험 온도 범위인 $24.2{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$에 20시간정도 장시간 노출되었으며, Solberg M 등(1990)이 제시한 원재료의 미생물적 안전기준치에 대해 $6.36{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$, $4.59{\pm}0.1{\log}\;CFU/g$로 기준치를 모두 초과하였다. 또한 영국 PHLS(Gilbert RJ 등 2000)의 장내세균 기준치에 따르면 $4.46{\pm}0.1{\log}\;CFU/g$로 만족스럽지 못한 수준으로 나타났으며, 황색포도상구균도 기준치를 초과하였다. 반면에 냉장보관($4.9^{\circ}C$)을 했던 시금치나물은 일반세균 $2.86{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$으로 그 외의 모든 미생물 검사에서 기준치 아래의 수치로 나타났다. 2. 양상추의 원재료의 표준평판균수는 $4.66{\pm}0.4{\log}\;CFU/g$에서 세척만 했을 때 $3.12{\pm}0.6{\log}\;CFU/g$, 소독 후 세척을 했을 때 $2.23{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$로 100 ppm에서 5분 침지한 양상추가 미생물오염도가 낮게 측정되었으며, 대장균군수와 황색포도상구균, 장내세균수 모두 소독 후 세척했을 경우가 낮은 미생물수치를 보였다. 또한 토마토는 원재료의 표준평판균수가 $3.08{\pm}0.4{\log}\;CFU/g$였는데, 소독 후 세척과정을 거친 토마토가 $0.72{\pm}0.7{\log}\;CFU/g$로, 세척만 한 토마토의 표준평판균수 $2.10{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$보다 현저히 낮은 수치를 보였다. 소독과정을 거친 토마토의 대장균군수와 황색포도상구균수가 역시 낮은 수치를 보였으며, 장내세균의 경우는 소독 후 세척과정을 거친 토마토에서는 균이 전혀 발견되지 않았다. 단체급식에서 여러 번의 세척만으로 다량의 생채소 품질을 위생적 상태로 만드는 것은 매우 힘든 일이며 따라서 가열조리를 거치지 않는 생채소 음식의 전처리에는 반드시 소독과정이 포함되어야 한다. 3. Screening을 통해 원재료의 특성상 미생물오염도가 높게 나타났던, 세척하기 까다로운 베이비채소, 라디치오, 부추를 선정하여 염소수 100 ppm에 5분 소독, 100 ppm에 10분 소독을 시행하여 미생물적 품질향상에 기여할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 라디치오는 표준평판균수가 원재료 $6.02{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$, 5분 소독 후 $4.10{\pm}0.6{\log}\;CFU/g$, 10분 소독 후 $2.58{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$로 원재료에서 높은 수치를 보였지만, 10분 소독 후에는 현저히 낮은 수치를 보였다. 또한 베이비채소의 원재료의 표준평판균수는 $5.76{\pm}0.1{\log}\;CFU/g$이고, 5분 소독 후 $5.14{\pm}0.1{\log}\;CFU/g$, 10분 소독 후 $4.27{\pm}0.6{\log}\;CFU/g$로 나타났으며, 부추의 원재료 표준평판수는 $6.83{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$, 5분 소독 후는 $5.30{\pm}0.3{\log}\;CFU/g$, 10분 소독 후는 $4.18{\pm}0.5{\log}\;CFU/g$로 라디치오에 비해서는 10분 소독 후에도 높은 수치를 나타냈지만, 소독시간이 경과함에 따라 낮은 미생물의 수치를 보였다. 대장균군, 황색포도상구균, 장내 세균 역시 소독시간이 경과함에 따라, 낮은 미생물수치를 보였다. 따라서, 소독이 까다로운 채소류는 소독시간의 연장이 필요함을 말해준다. 4. Screening을 통해 양념장을 주재료와 섞은 후, 미생물의 수치가 증가하는 결과를 토대로 양념장에 대해 조사한 결과, 연구의 대상이 되었던 외식업체에서 양념류에 대한 소독과정이 전혀 이루어지지 않고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 소독과정을 거친 양념류와 식초를 첨가한 양념장(A)과 관리가 이루어지고 있지 않았던 양념장(B)을 비교분석하였다. 봄동겉절이와 미나리겉절이의 미생물품질결과를 보면, 양념장A는 양념장B에 비해서 1 {\log} 이상의 미생물 수치가 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 소독과정을 거치고 식초를 첨가한 양념장A의 경우, Solberg M (1990)와 영국 PHLS (Gilbert RJ 등 2000)의 기준치이하로 나타났으며, 오염도가 높았던 부재료, 양념류 소독관리의 중요성을 시사하고 있다. 5. 비가열처리 공정은 가열단계가 없고, 후처리 공정은 이후에 가열단계가 없기 때문에 조리종사원의 손에 의한 교차오염 등이 발생하기 쉬우므로 이 시점의 통제 및 관리가 요구된다. 조리도구의 소독 전(B)과 소독 후(A)의 미생물 수치를 비교분석 결과, B군에 비해 A군 즉 소독을 시행한 후로는 조리도구에서 미생물 검출 수치가 모두 감소한 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 B군의 조리도구의 경우는 모두 기준치이상의 높은 수치를 보였지만, A군의 조리도구의 경우는 만족할만한 수준으로 나타났다. 따라서 식품뿐만 아니라 작업환경 위생관리에 만전을 기해야 하며 소독의 수행이 무엇보다 중요한 것으로 나타났다.
