Abstract

Abstract For the safety assessment of microbiological in the raw seafood soup (Mul-hoe), eight samples of the Mul-hoe were purchased from restaurants, located in Tongyeong, gyeongnam Korea. The Mul-hoe contained Olive flounder, Leaf lettuce, radish, cucumber, and onion in addition to the Mul-hoe broth. The levels of contamination were assessed for sanitary indicative bacteria (total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, and Escherichia coli) and three pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus) using quantitative or qualitative methods. The total aerobic bacteria and coliforms were detected as 1.91-3.24, and ND-0.43 log CFU/g, respectively. The Mul-hoe broth showed a high level of contamination with total aerobic bacteria, with a count of 3.24 log CFU/g. All samples had less than 0.5 log CFU/g of coliforms detected. Additionally, E. coli was not detected in any of the samples (ND: < 10 log CFU/g). S. aureus was not detected, and B. cereus and V. parahaemolyticus were negative. The levels of microbial contamination identified in this study could serve as fundamental data for conducting microbial risk assessments of home meal replacement (HMR) foods, such as Mul-hoe.
