Abstract

In this study, safety investigations on harmful microorganisms and mycotoxins were conducted on honeybee drone pupae as a new food material, which is rich in nutrients and capable of being mass produced in apiaries. The honeybee drone pupae produced in apiaries were collected from three different regions in Korea and frozen immediately. Subsequently, the samples were subjected to freeze-drying. According to the Korean Food Code test method, coliforms, Salmonella species, Staphylococcus aureus, and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli were not detected in 280 honeybee drone pupas. In addition, mycotoxins, aflatoxin $B_1$, ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, and zearalenone were not detected. Therefore, it is proposed that the honeybee drone pupae collected from the beehives and immediately frozen as safe from harmful microorganisms and mycotoxins and can be used as a food material.

본 연구에서는 양봉농가에서 대량 생산이 가능하고 영양이 풍부한 꿀벌 수벌번데기를 새로운 식품원료로 사용하기 위하여 유해 미생물과 곰팡이독소에 대한 안전성 시험을 수행하였다. 검사 시료는 국내 3지역의 양봉농가에서 직접 생산한 수벌번데기를 채취 후 곧바로 냉동 운반하여 동결건조하여 사용하였다. 식품공전 시험법에 따라 대장균군(Coliforms), 살모넬라(Salmonella spp.), 황색포도상구균(Staphylococcus aureus) 및 장출혈성대장균(Enterohemorrhage Escherichia coli)에 대한 검출 여부를 조사한 결과 280개의 벌통에서 채취한 수벌번데기 전부에서 전혀 검출되지 않았다. 또한 곰팡이 독소인 아플라톡신 $B_1$(aflatoxin), 오크라톡신 A (ochratoxin), 데옥시니발레놀(deoxynivalenol) 그리고 제랄레논(zearalenone)이 수벌번데기에서 전혀 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 벌통 내 소비에서 채취하여 곧 바로 냉동보관 한 수벌번데기는 유해 미생물과 곰팡이 독소로부터 안전한 것으로 확인되어 식품원료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
