Abstract

Packaged meal manufacturing establishments in Seoul city and Kyungkido province were assessed in terms of the sanitary conditions and practices, time and temperature, and microbiological quality. Sanitary check-lists were developed to evaluate the sanitary condition of sampled packaged meal manufacturing establishments. Microbiological tests on.food containers, equipments, and foods in various phases of product flow were done. The results of the study are summarized as follows; 1) Sanitary condition of kitchen.and sanitary practices of employees in.large and medium establishments were evaluated as the some improvement required in order to meet all standards. But sanitary practices of employees in small establishments were evaluated as the unsatisfactory state with negligence or ignorance of safe practice. 2) The microbiological quality of basic ingredients and food materials after pre-preparation were poor. 3) Time and temperature data indicated that phases of holding ingredients at room temperature after cooking, assembly and packaging before delivery were critical. 4) Microbiological test results for food containers, equipments indicated that sanitary conditions of stainless steel ware, knife, wiping clothes and cutting board should be improved promptly. 5) Critical control points identified were ingredients, pre-preparation, Holding, and assembly and packaging. 6) Guidelines were suggested for effective quality control of packaged meals production.

서울·경기지역 도시락 제조업체의 작업환경 및 도시락의 부식인 동태전 생산과정의 위생상태를 위생 점검표 및 미생물 검사를 토대로 분석, 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 주방의 위생 상태는 향상 가능성이 있는 보통상태로 나타났고, 종업원의 위생습관은 대·중규모 업체는 향상가능성이 있는 보통상태이었으며 소규모 업체는 위험요인이 존재하는 불량상태로 나타났다. 2) 도시락 제조업체별로 동태전의 생산과정에서 원재료와 전처리 후의 재료는 미생물적인 품질이 낮았다. 3) 조사결과 조리한 음식을 실온에서 보관하는 단계와 출고하기 전까지 조합하고 포장하는 동안 실온에서 방치하는 단계는 온도 및 소요시간이 미생물 증식에 적합한 환경이 되는 위험한 단계이었다. 4) 각 업체에서 사용하는 칼, 도마 ,행주의 미생물 수치가 높아 cross contamination의 가능성이 높았다. 5) 도시락 제조업체에서 동태전의 생산 과정중의 critical control points 는 전처리단계 , 보관단계, 조합과 포장단계 및 기구로 지적되었다.
