Abstract

We investigated the pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), microbial changes and dominant microbes in raw beef, wet-aging beef, and dry-aging beef after the meat had been stored in a refrigerator. The count of mesophilic bacteria was 3.3-3.9 log CFU/g in raw beef and dry-aging beef, and 5.4 log CFU/g in wet-aging meat. After 18 days of refrigeration, the mesophilic bacterial count in raw and aging beef increased to 6.1-6.4 log CFU/g. In wet-aging beef, the number of lactic acid bacteria increased from 4.5 log CFU/g to 6.0 log CFU/g at refrigeration temperature. However, lactic acid bacteria were not detected in dry aging beef. Major foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella spp, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli (EHEC) were not detected. Based on the legal standard for mesophilic bacteria count, the estimated shelf-life of aged beef was less than 12 days and the average VBN was 15 mg%. The dominant microorganisms varied between the different types of meat. In raw meat, Staphylococcus saprophyticus was the dominant microorganism, and as the VBN increased, Carnobacterium divergens dominated. In wet-aging beef, Carnobacterium divergens dominated during the initial days of refrigeration after which the number of Lactobacillus sakei increased. Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis was initially the dominant microbe in dry-aging beef, after which Pseudomonas fragi dominated. In addition to the role of specific bacteria in the early stage of decay, it is thought that microorganisms can be utilized for safe distribution and storage of matured meats by conducting research on changes in rot, fragrance analysis, and changes of ingredients in matured meats.

생육, 습식 숙성육, 건식 숙성육을 종류별 3종을 구입하여 냉장 상태로 보관하면서 pH, 휘발성 염기질소(VBN), 미생물 정량, 우점균을 분석하였다. 초기 생육, 건식 숙성육의 중온균은 3.3-3.9 Log CFU/g, 습식 숙성육은 경우 5.4 Log CFU/g 이였으나, 냉장으로 18일 보관 후 생육과 건식 숙성육에 존재하는 중온균은 6.1-6.4 Log CFU/g로 증가하였다. 습식 숙성육의 경우 Lactic acid bacteria (LAB)는 냉장 보관시 4.5-6.0 Log CFU/g으로 나타났으나, 건식숙성육에서는 검출되지 않았다. 저장 기간이 길어짐에 따라 중온균, 저온균, LAB, 효모 및 곰팡이 수가 증가하였으나, 식품매개 병원성 미생물은 검출되지 않았다. 식육의 오염 및 부패 판단은 7 Log CFU/g 이상으로 규정하고 있어 본 연구 결과에 의하면 12일 이상 냉장 보관하였을 경우 6-7 Log CFU/g으로 기준을 초과하였다. 이 때 VBN이 평균 15 mg%으로 부패의 초기 단계로 판단 할 수 있었다. 냉장 보관에 따른 우점 미생물은 다양한 양상으로 나타냈다. 생육에서는 초기 우점균으로 S. saprophyticus가 분석되었으나, VBN이 증가함에 따라 Carnobacterium divergens가 우점하는 양상을 나타냈다. 습식 숙성육에서 Carnobacterium divergens가 냉장보관 초기에 우점 미생물로 분석되었으나, 이후 Lactobacillus sakei가 우점균으로 분석되었다. 건식 숙성육의 경우 Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis가 냉장보관 초기에 우점하였으나 이후 Pseudomonas fragi가 우점균으로 변화하였다. 부패의 초기 단계에서 특정 박테리아의 역할 외에도 부패, 향기 분석 및 숙성 육류의 성분 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하여 숙성 육류의 안전한 유통 및 보관에 활용할 수 있다고 판단된다.
