Application of atp bioluminescence assay for effect assessment of hygiene visiting education on children's foodservice facilities in the local small town

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of ATP bioluminescence assay for effect assessment of hygiene visiting education on children's foodservice facilities in the local small town. The sanitary inspection results of the hygiene visiting education showed significant improvement in all items except 'To regularly disinfect cooking facilities, storage rooms, etc.' ATP bioluminescence analysis was performed on cooking utensils to evaluate the educational effect, and the results showed a correlation with the effect in most items. In the case of knives and cutting boards, all facilities showed a value of 20 RLU/cm2 or less after the educational support, and in particular, it was approximately 10 RLU/cm2 or less in national/public, corporation and private facilities. Correlation analysis between the post-education sanitary inspection results and ATP values for three items related to knives and cutting boards showed that they have a negative and high correlations.
