This study was performed to evaluate and establish a sample preparation method for the detection of food-borne pathogens in animal origin foods. Ham, yogurt, and Korean beef inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella Typhimurium, were tested for the effects of diluent composition, processing time, and proportion of diluent to sample. The diluents used were peptone water (PW), Saline solution (SS), Butterfield’s phosphate buffered dilution water (BPD), and Buffered peptone water (BPW). The processing time periods considered for the samples were 30, 60, 90, 120, and 300 sec, and the proportions of diluent to samples tested were 1:2, 1:4, 1:9, and 1:19. Yogurt and beef showed the highest number of bacteria when treated with BPW (p < 0.05). However, ham showed no significant difference between the treatments with four different diluents. Optimum proportions of diluent to ham, yogurt, and beef were 1:9, 1:2, and 1:4, respectively. The processing time of 120 sec was chosen as optimum, because it showed the best recovery rate in all sample types. In this manner, detection of food-borne bacteria with the selected optimal conditions was indicated by a recovery rate of more than 85%. These data suggest that an appropriate diluent composition and diluent volume should be used depending on the type of sample, which would thereby increase the accuracy of detecting food-borne bacteria in animal origin foods.
