Abstract
|
|
|
This study assessed hazards at the harvest stage of strawberry farms which may cause risk to humans. A total
of 216 samples were collected from 6 strawberry farms (soil culture farms: A, B, C; nutriculture farms: D, E, F) located
in Western Gyeongnam. The collected samples were subjected for sanitary indicator bacteria (aerobic plate count, coliforms
and Escherichia coli), major foodborne pathogens (E. coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus
aureus and Bacillus cereus), and fungi. The levels of APC and coliform in the soil culture farms were 1.0-6.9 and 0.4-
4.6 log CFU/g (leaf, mL, hand or 100 cm2), respectively. The samples obtained from the nutriculture farms were
contaminated with the levels of 0.8-4.9, and 0.2-2.6 log CFU/g (leaf, mL, hand or 100 cm2) of APC and coliform.
However, E. coli was not detected in any samples. In major foodborne pathogens, S. aureus was detected at the level of
≤3.3 log CFU/hand in workers’ hand samples and B. cereus was detected at the levels of 0.4-4.1 log CFU/g (hand or 100
cm2) in soil, plants and workers’ hygiene. L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. were not detected.
Fungi were detected at the levels of 1.0-5.2 and 0.2-4.4 log CFU/g (leaf, mL, hand or 100 cm2) in soil culture and
nutriculture farms, respectively.
