Abstract

In this study, the bacteriological survey was examined on ice creams at manufacturing factories in Korea during the summer season of 2011. The nineteen selected among 166 samples by preliminary test were collected from 11 different manufacturing factories in four major manufacturers in May 2011. Samples from ice milk, ice creams, sherbets, and non milk fat ice creams were tested for the total aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, and five food borne pathogens, respectively. The results showed that the coliforms including E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, and Listeria monocytogenes were not detected on all the ice creams. The total aerobic bacteria of the packed samples examined ranged between $2.5{\times}10^3$ and $5.5{\times}10^5cfu/g$. One ice cream, two sherbets, and four ice milk samples exceeded the acceptable limits of total aerobic bacteria according to the Korean standards for ice cream ($1.0{\times}10^5cfu/g$) and others ($5.0{\times}10^4cfu/g$). The levels of these microorganisms from ice creams were higher in three original equipment manufacturers than seven self-manufacturers. Three of ten ice creams (30.0%), three of six ice milks (50.0%), and one of two sherbets (50%) exceeded the acceptable limits of total aerobic bacteria, respectively. The personnel hygiene procedures with chocolate and vanilla chip addition from the manufacturing process were the main sources of the microbial contamination of stick-bar type ice creams when being produced in a factory. Improvement of the hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) system should be introduced into the ice cream factory to improve the microbial quality of the ice cream products in Korea.

본 연구에서 여름철 성수기를 앞두고 생산된 아이스크림류에 대하여 대장균군과 E. coli O157:H7, S. aureus, C. perfringens, L. monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. 등 식중독균 검출여부를 조사한 결과 모든 제품에서 검출되지 않았다. 이에 반하여 세균수에 있어서는 11개 제조공장별로, 그리고 아이스크림류 유형별로 $2.5{\times}10^3$에서부터 $5.5{\times}10^5cfu/g$까지 다양한 수준을 나타내었다. 또한, OEM 생산업체에서 제조된 아이스크림을 포함하여 아이스크림 제품별로는 과자류, 찰떡, 초코렛, 과일쥬스 등의 부원료가 추가적으로 사용되거나, 손작업이 필요로 하는 stic bar type 등 7개 제품에서 세균수 허용기준이 초과된 것으로 나타났다. 세균수 허용기준을 초과한 제품에 대하여 아이스크림류 유형별로 분석한 바, 아이스크림은 10개중 3개 제품(30.0%), 아이스밀크는 6개중 3개 제품(50.0%), 샤베트는 2개중 1개 제품(50.0%)으로 조사되어 약간의 차이가 있었다. 아이스크림류 제조공정 중 미생물의 품질관리를 위하여 포장용기에 대한 미생물 모니터링 검사를 포함하여 동결 공정에 추가적인 CCP 설정 등과 같은 HACCP제도의 도입 및 보완을 고려해 보아야 할 것으로 생각된다.
