Abstract

People can be exposed to various microorganisms when they sat yukae (seasoned raw meat) because yukae is eaten raw. The purpose of this study was to find out microbial distribution in yukae. In this experiment, 5 restaurants serving yukae were chosen in Daegu area. Mesophilic microorganisms and coliforms were measured by Korean Food Standards Codex. Analyses of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli 0157:H7 were conducted. As results, mesophilic microorganisms ranged 6.6×10 3-2.7×105CFU/g and coliforms ranged 8.9×101-2.1×105CFU/g, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli 0157:H7 were not detected in all 5 samples. However, Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 1 sample out of 5 samples. Hygiene practice during production, processing and cooking process is required.
