Description
本発明は、生きた乳酸菌を含有する冷菓中に混在する、乳酸菌以外の細菌の生菌数の測定方法に関し、とくに乳酸菌を添加したアイスクリーム類に好適な生菌数の測定方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for measuring the number of viable bacteria other than lactic acid bacteria mixed in a frozen dessert containing live lactic acid bacteria, and more particularly to a method for measuring the number of viable bacteria suitable for ice creams to which lactic acid bacteria are added.
生きた乳酸菌を含む冷菓といえば、たとえばフローズンヨーグルトがある。乳酸菌には、整腸作用等、様々な健康促進効果が認められることから、近年再び注目を集めている。 Speaking of frozen desserts containing live lactic acid bacteria, for example, frozen yogurt. Lactic acid bacteria have attracted attention again in recent years because of their various health promotion effects such as intestinal regulation.
一方、冷たい菓子(冷菓)の代表格としてアイスクリームがある。アイスクリームは、関連法令によれば、乳固形分や乳脂肪分の違いによって、アイスクリームとアイスミルクとラクトアイスとに分類されており、これらを含めてアイスクリーム類として定義されている。最近では、このアイスクリーム類に乳酸菌を添加した新しい冷菓も提案されている。この乳酸菌入りのアイスクリーム類は、単にアイスクリーム類に乳酸菌の機能性が付与されているだけでなく、発酵乳の爽やかな後味が加わることで、従来のアイスクリームにはなかった口当たりのよい新たな風味が実現されている。 On the other hand, ice cream is a representative example of cold confectionery. According to related laws and regulations, ice cream is classified into ice cream, ice milk, and lacto ice according to the difference in milk solid content and milk fat content, and these are defined as ice creams. Recently, a new frozen dessert in which lactic acid bacteria are added to the ice cream has been proposed. This ice cream containing lactic acid bacteria is not only a function of lactic acid bacteria added to ice creams, but also a refreshing aftertaste of fermented milk. Flavor is realized.
ところで、これら冷菓は、関連法令によって成分規格が規定されているため、冷菓を製造するメーカーは、その基準が満たされていることを常時測定して検査する必要がある。その基準の一つに細菌数(生菌数、生きている細菌数)の規格項目がある。 By the way, since the component standards of these frozen desserts are stipulated by related laws and regulations, manufacturers that manufacture frozen desserts need to constantly measure and inspect that the standards are satisfied. One of the standards is a standard item for the number of bacteria (viable bacteria count, live bacteria count).
しかし、この細菌数は細菌汚染の指標であるため、検査対象に乳酸菌が含まれる場合には、乳酸菌を除いた細菌数をもって細菌数とする必要がある。検査対象に乳酸菌が含まれる場合の生菌数の測定方法としては、たとえば、非特許文献1,2がある。
However, since the number of bacteria is an indicator of bacterial contamination, when the test target includes lactic acid bacteria, the number of bacteria excluding lactic acid bacteria must be used as the number of bacteria.
しかしながら、フローズンヨーグルト等、検査対象が多量に乳酸菌を含む場合、その乳酸菌だけを除いて一般細菌の生菌数を測定することは難しく、十分な測定方法が確立されていないのが実情である。 However, when the test object contains a large amount of lactic acid bacteria, such as frozen yogurt, it is difficult to measure the number of viable bacteria except for the lactic acid bacteria, and a sufficient measurement method has not been established.
たとえば、標準寒天培地を用いた定法に従って一般細菌数を測定し、コロニーの形状等から乳酸菌と一般細菌とを選別することが考えられるが、検査対象が多量に乳酸菌を含む場合、乳酸菌が一般細菌よりも圧倒的に多くなってしまい、それらの判別に経験を要するうえ、精度に欠け実用的でない。また、この標準寒天培地に乳酸菌測定用の培地を併用する方法も考えられる。つまり、乳酸菌を含む総菌数と乳酸菌数とをそれぞれ測定して、総菌数から乳酸菌数を減算することによって算出するのであるが、測定に手間がかかり過ぎて、これもまた実用性に欠ける。 For example, it is conceivable to measure the number of general bacteria according to a standard method using a standard agar medium, and select lactic acid bacteria and general bacteria from the shape of the colony, etc., but if the test object contains a large amount of lactic acid bacteria, the lactic acid bacteria It is overwhelmingly more than that, requires experience to distinguish between them, lacks accuracy, and is not practical. In addition, a method in which a medium for measuring lactic acid bacteria is used in combination with this standard agar medium is also conceivable. In other words, the total number of bacteria including lactic acid bacteria and the number of lactic acid bacteria are measured and calculated by subtracting the number of lactic acid bacteria from the total number of bacteria, but this is too laborious and also lacks practicality. .
そこで、本発明者らは、先の非特許文献1の「乳酸菌を加えた粉末清涼飲料の細菌数(生菌数、ただし乳酸菌を除く)の測定方法」に示されているペニシリンGカリウム添加ブドウ糖加寒天培地や、4%塩化ナトリウム含有BCP加プレートカウント寒天培地などの適用を試みたが、検査対象によっては、乳酸菌のコロニー形成が認められ、一般細菌のみを選択的に検出することができなかった。
Therefore, the present inventors have provided penicillin G potassium-added glucose as described in “Method for measuring the number of bacteria (viable cell count, but excluding lactic acid bacteria) of powdered soft drinks added with lactic acid bacteria” in
また、先の非特許文献2には、国際規格として「発酵乳等の汚染細菌の計測法」(以下、単にIDF153法という)が示されているが、作業負担の大きい塗抹法によるものであるうえ、培養条件が30℃、72時間と期間を要するため、正確かつ迅速を要する品質管理の現場においては扱い難い。また、この方法の場合、培地への選択剤の添加が不可欠であり、選択剤の選定や培地調製という煩雑な作業を要し、汎用性に欠けるという不利もある。
Further, in the previous Non-Patent
そこで、本発明は前記問題点に鑑み、フローズンヨーグルトや乳酸菌入りのアイスクリームなどの、生きた乳酸菌を多量に含む冷菓中に混在する乳酸菌以外の生菌数を、簡便でありながら、迅速に測定できる方法を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention measures the number of viable bacteria other than lactic acid bacteria mixed in a frozen dessert containing a large amount of live lactic acid bacteria, such as frozen yogurt and ice cream containing lactic acid bacteria, in a simple and rapid manner. It aims to provide a possible method.

本発明は、乳酸菌を含む冷菓中に混在する乳酸菌以外の細菌数(生菌数)を測定する測定方法である。そして、その測定の工程に、測定対象の冷菓を500倍〜10000倍に希釈して測定試料を調製する工程と、測定試料を標準寒天培地で培養する工程と、培養後に検出されるコロニー数を計数する工程と、を含むことに特徴がある。以下、図面を参照しつつ、本発明の最良の実施の形態について説明する。 The present invention is a measurement method for measuring the number of bacteria other than lactic acid bacteria (viable bacteria number) mixed in a frozen dessert containing lactic acid bacteria. And in the measurement process, the step of preparing the measurement sample by diluting the frozen dessert to be measured 500 times to 10000 times, the step of culturing the measurement sample in a standard agar medium, and the number of colonies detected after the culture And a step of counting. The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
本発明において、乳酸菌とは、たとえばヨーグルトに代表される発酵乳中に含まれる細菌であって、乳酸を多量につくる細菌群の総称である。細菌学的には、Lactobacillus属や、Lactococcus属、Streptococcus属などの分類に属している。乳酸菌には多くの種類が存在するが、本発明では、乳酸菌の種類については、とくに限定しない。しかしながら、その中でも、発酵乳を製造する際に使用されるスターターとしての乳酸菌、たとえば、乳酸球菌(Streptococcus thermophilus)や乳酸桿菌(Lactobacillus bulgaricus)などを含む場合に好適である。とくに乳酸球菌は、乳酸菌の中でも一般細菌とともに検出され易いが、これの生育を効果的に抑制することができる。 In the present invention, a lactic acid bacterium is a bacterium contained in fermented milk typified by yoghurt, for example, and is a general term for a group of bacteria that produce a large amount of lactic acid. Bacteriologically, it belongs to the classifications such as Lactobacillus genus, Lactococcus genus and Streptococcus genus. There are many types of lactic acid bacteria, but in the present invention, the type of lactic acid bacteria is not particularly limited. However, among them, it is suitable when a lactic acid bacterium as a starter used for producing fermented milk, for example, lactic acid cocci (Streptococcus thermophilus), lactobacilli (Lactobacillus bulgaricus), or the like is included. In particular, lactic acid cocci are easily detected together with general bacteria among lactic acid bacteria, but their growth can be effectively suppressed.
本発明が測定対象とするのは、たとえば、フローズンヨーグルトなどの生きた乳酸菌を多量に含む冷菓である。乳酸菌を別途添加したアイスクリーム類も測定対象に含む。すなわち、本発明では、生きた乳酸菌が多量に含まれる菓子であって、流通時あるいは保管時には冷凍状態で取り扱われる冷たい菓子(冷菓)を測定対象とする。 The measurement object of the present invention is a frozen dessert containing a large amount of live lactic acid bacteria such as frozen yogurt. Ice creams to which lactic acid bacteria have been added separately are also included in the measurement target. That is, in the present invention, a confectionery containing a large amount of live lactic acid bacteria, and a cold confectionery (frozen confectionery) handled in a frozen state during distribution or storage is used as a measurement target.
冷菓は、冷凍下で流通されることから、製造後は温度条件により一般細菌は増殖できない。したがって、製造後に生菌数を検査して規格内にあることを確認すれば、以後、菌数の増加を心配する必要が無い。そして、たとえば、先のアイスクリーム類の細菌数の規格をみると、アイスクリームは、1gあたり100,000(1×105)cfu(colony forming unit)以下、アイスミルクおよびラクトアイスは、1gあたり50,000(5×104)cfu以下となっており、検出下限菌数が比較的高くても規格を満たすか否かの判断ができ、測定条件的には有利だからである。 Since frozen desserts are distributed under freezing, general bacteria cannot grow due to temperature conditions after production. Therefore, if the number of viable bacteria is inspected after production to confirm that it is within the standard, then there is no need to worry about the increase in the number of bacteria. And, for example, looking at the specification of the number of bacteria in the previous ice cream, ice cream is 100,000 (1 × 10 5 ) cfu (colony forming unit) or less per gram, ice milk and lacto ice are 50 or less per gram. 000 (5 × 10 4 ) cfu or less, and even if the detection lower limit number of bacteria is relatively high, it can be determined whether or not the standard is satisfied, and the measurement conditions are advantageous.
しかしながら、ヨーグルト等の発酵乳には、通常、1gあたり約107cfuの乳酸菌が含まれている。そのため、この中に混在する一般細菌だけを選択的に測定するのは容易でない。 However, fermented milk such as yogurt usually contains about 10 7 cfu lactic acid bacteria per gram. For this reason, it is not easy to selectively measure only the general bacteria present in the mixture.
ところが、乳酸菌は、他の一般細菌と比べると栄養要求性が高い傾向がある。そこで、本発明者らは、冷菓の特質を考慮すれば、測定時の希釈率を十分に高めて、冷菓由来の栄養源、つまり、乳酸菌の生育にとって有効と思われる栄養源の培地への持込量を少なくすれば、一般細菌だけを選択的に測定できると考えた。そして、実験により検証した結果、実用的な測定方法を得るに至ったのである。 However, lactic acid bacteria tend to be more auxotrophic than other general bacteria. In view of the characteristics of frozen confectionery, the present inventors have sufficiently increased the dilution rate at the time of measurement to maintain the nutrient source derived from frozen confectionery, that is, the nutrient source that is considered effective for the growth of lactic acid bacteria in the medium. We thought that only general bacteria could be selectively measured if the amount of incorporation was reduced. As a result of verification by experiments, a practical measurement method has been obtained.
すなわち、本発明では、測定する冷菓を、まず500倍〜10000倍、規格や検査精度を考慮すれば、好ましくは500倍〜5000倍に希釈して測定試料を調製する。10倍希釈の単純な繰り返しで対処できるため、より好ましくは、1000倍に希釈する。そうすることで、まず、栄養制限によって乳酸菌の生育を効果的に抑制することができ、多量の乳酸菌が含まれていても、そこに混在している一般細菌だけを選択して測定することが可能となる。しかし、培地に黄変等が認められず、一般細菌を測定できる場合もあり、その場合には、必ずしも希釈倍率には限定されない。なお、希釈倍率は、厳密な精度を求めるものではない。これら数値は、実用上、許容できる程度の前後幅を含む。 In other words, in the present invention, the measurement sample is prepared by first diluting the frozen confectionery to be measured 500 times to 10000 times, preferably 500 times to 5000 times considering the standard and inspection accuracy. Since it can cope with simple repetition of 10 times dilution, More preferably, it dilutes 1000 times. By doing so, first, the growth of lactic acid bacteria can be effectively suppressed by nutritional restriction, and even if a large amount of lactic acid bacteria are included, only general bacteria mixed there can be selected and measured. It becomes possible. However, in some cases, yellowing or the like is not observed in the medium and general bacteria can be measured. In such a case, the dilution factor is not necessarily limited. The dilution factor does not require strict accuracy. These numerical values include an acceptable front-rear width.
図1に、本発明の測定方法の概要を示す。図1の(a)に示すように、クリーンベンチ等の無菌環境下で、たとえば、測定対象である乳酸菌を含む冷菓から1gを採取し、生理食塩水(塩分濃度0.85%)の入った滅菌済み試験管で希釈を繰り返して、1000倍まで段階的に希釈する。そして、冷菓を1000倍に希釈調製した溶液を測定試料Sとする。
FIG. 1 shows an outline of the measurement method of the present invention. As shown to (a) of FIG. 1, 1 g was extract | collected from the frozen dessert containing the lactic acid bacteria which are measurement objects in aseptic environment, such as a clean bench, and the physiological saline (salt concentration 0.85%) was contained. Repeat dilutions in sterile tubes and dilute stepwise up to 1000 times. And the solution which diluted and prepared
培養には、一般細菌の培養に適した培地、すなわち、常用されている一般細菌測定用の標準寒天培地を用いて培養する。 The culture is performed using a medium suitable for culturing general bacteria, that is, a standard agar medium for measuring general bacteria commonly used.
標準寒天培地には、ブロムクレゾールパープル(BCP)を添加するのが好ましい。詳しくは、標準寒天培地1000mlあたり0.01〜0.04gのBCPを添加する。好ましくは、0.02〜0.03gのBCPを添加する。BCPは、青系色素からなるPH指示薬である。培地では、たとえば、乳酸菌測定用の公定培地であるBCP加プレート寒天培地に用いられている。なお、この実施の形態では、標準寒天培地1000mlあたり0.025gのBCPを添加している。 Bromocresol purple (BCP) is preferably added to the standard agar medium. Specifically, 0.01 to 0.04 g of BCP is added per 1000 ml of standard agar medium. Preferably, 0.02 to 0.03 g of BCP is added. BCP is a PH indicator composed of a blue pigment. As the medium, for example, it is used as a BCP-added plate agar medium which is an official medium for measuring lactic acid bacteria. In this embodiment, 0.025 g of BCP is added per 1000 ml of standard agar medium.
ここで、上記各培地の組成を図2に示す。図2には、標準寒天培地と、BCP加プレート寒天培地と、標準寒天培地にBCPを添加した培地(以下、単にBlue−SMAという)とを対比して示してある。いずれの培地も、基本組成であるペプトン、酵母エキス、ブドウ糖および寒天の含量は同じである。標準寒天培地に対して相違するのは、Blue−SMAは、BCPを含み、BCP加プレート寒天培地は、さらにtween80(登録商標)とL−システインを含む点である。 Here, the composition of each medium is shown in FIG. FIG. 2 shows a comparison between a standard agar medium, a BCP-added plate agar medium, and a medium obtained by adding BCP to the standard agar medium (hereinafter simply referred to as Blue-SMA). Each medium has the same basic composition of peptone, yeast extract, glucose and agar. The difference with respect to the standard agar medium is that Blue-SMA contains BCP, and the BCP-added plate agar medium further contains tween 80 (registered trademark) and L-cysteine.
tween80およびL−システインは、乳酸菌の栄養要求性にあわせて添加される栄養源である。したがって、これを含まない標準寒天培地やBlue−SMAは、それだけ乳酸菌の増殖を抑制することができる。 Tween 80 and L-cysteine are nutrient sources added in accordance with the auxotrophy of lactic acid bacteria. Therefore, the standard agar medium and Blue-SMA not containing this can suppress the growth of lactic acid bacteria accordingly.
BCPは、BCP加プレート寒天培地においては、乳酸菌が生成する乳酸によってコロニーの周辺が黄変するのを利用して、目視による乳酸菌の検出を容易にするために用いられている。一方、本発明では、何らかの酸を生成する一般細菌のコロニーの周辺が黄変することを利用して、目視による一般細菌の検出を容易にすることや、コントラストを高めて検出されるコロニーの判別を容易にすることのために用いる。 BCP is used in a BCP-added plate agar medium to facilitate the visual detection of lactic acid bacteria by utilizing the fact that the periphery of the colony is yellowed by lactic acid produced by lactic acid bacteria. On the other hand, in the present invention, by utilizing the fact that the periphery of colonies of general bacteria that produce some acid turns yellow, it is possible to easily detect general bacteria visually or to distinguish colonies detected with increased contrast. Used for facilitating.
さらに、実験の過程で標準寒天培地にBCPを添加することで、乳酸菌の生育を抑制する効果が認められており、本発明におけるBCPは、乳酸菌の生育抑制効果にも寄与し得ることがわかっている。その実験結果を図3に示す。図3は、乳酸菌を含むある冷菓を試料に生菌数の測定を行った結果を示している。そこでは、同じ所定条件の下、試料(S)の希釈率を変えて標準寒天培地(MERCK社製)と、その標準寒天培地にBCPを添加して調製したBlue−SMAとで比較実験を行った(N=2、それぞれの試料に対して2回測定)。 Furthermore, it was found that by adding BCP to the standard agar medium in the course of the experiment, the effect of suppressing the growth of lactic acid bacteria was recognized, and the BCP in the present invention can also contribute to the effect of suppressing the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Yes. The experimental results are shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows the result of measuring the number of viable bacteria using a certain frozen dessert containing lactic acid bacteria as a sample. In this case, under the same predetermined conditions, a comparison experiment was performed using a standard agar medium (manufactured by MERCK) with a different dilution ratio of the sample (S) and Blue-SMA prepared by adding BCP to the standard agar medium. (N = 2, measured twice for each sample).
図3に示すように、BCPを添加していない標準寒天培地においては、10倍希釈は判別不可であり、100倍希釈ではコロニーが多過ぎて計数できず(TNTC;Too Numerous To Count)、1000倍希釈でも菌の生育が認められた(たとえば、2.9×105cfu/g)。それに対して、BCPを添加したBlue−SMAでは、100倍希釈までは黄変が認められたものの、1000倍希釈ではコロニーの形成が認められなかった。すなわち、希釈による栄養制限とBCP添加の相乗効果とで乳酸菌の生育が効果的に抑制できたものと考えられる。 As shown in FIG. 3, in a standard agar medium not containing BCP, 10-fold dilution is indistinguishable, and in 100-fold dilution, too many colonies cannot be counted (TNTC; Too Numerous To Count), 1000 Bacterial growth was observed even at double dilution (for example, 2.9 × 10 5 cfu / g). On the other hand, in Blue-SMA to which BCP was added, yellowing was observed up to 100-fold dilution, but colony formation was not observed at 1000-fold dilution. That is, it is considered that the growth of lactic acid bacteria could be effectively suppressed by the nutritional restriction by dilution and the synergistic effect of addition of BCP.
次に、培養の操作について説明する。操作に先立って、培地は予め十分量つくって小分けして滅菌しておく。そして、操作時に培地の必要量を加温して液状にする。そうすることで、まとめて作業ができ、効率よく作業できる。液状の培地(滅菌後に加温して溶解した培地)は、そのまま菌に影響を与えない温度、たとえば40℃前後に保持する。 Next, the culture operation will be described. Prior to the operation, a sufficient amount of the culture medium is prepared in advance and aliquoted and sterilized. And the required amount of a culture medium is heated at the time of operation, and it makes it liquid state. By doing so, you can work together and work efficiently. The liquid medium (medium that has been heated and dissolved after sterilization) is kept at a temperature that does not affect the bacteria as it is, for example, around 40 ° C.
そして、図1の(b)に示すように、準備した測定試料Sの1mlを適量の培地(Blue−SMA)とともに滅菌済みのシャーレPに流し入れ、混ぜ合わせながら直ちに固化させる。培地が固化したシャーレPは、図1の(c)に示すように、下を向けた状態で、恒温器Tに保管して所定条件の下で培養する(混釈法)。操作は単に培地と測定試料とを混ぜ合わせるだけであるため、多数の検査が必要であっても簡便かつ迅速に処理できる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 1B, 1 ml of the prepared measurement sample S is poured into a sterilized petri dish P together with an appropriate amount of medium (Blue-SMA), and immediately solidified while mixing. As shown in FIG. 1C, the petri dish P in which the medium is solidified is stored in the thermostat T in a state where the medium is faced down and cultured under a predetermined condition (pour method). Since the operation is simply mixing the culture medium and the measurement sample, even if a large number of tests are required, the operation can be performed easily and quickly.
なお、予めシャーレPに培地を固化させて培地平板を作製した後、その上に測定試料を滴下してコンラジ棒等で平板上に拡げて培養する方法(塗抹法)もあるが、塗抹法で検出下限菌数を低くしようとすると、シャーレの枚数を多くしなければならなくなるなどのため、準備や操作に手間を要し、実用面で混釈法に劣る。 In addition, there is a method (smearing method) in which a culture plate is solidified in a Petri dish P in advance and a measurement sample is dropped on the plate and spread on a flat plate with a conrad rod or the like (smearing method). An attempt to lower the lower limit of detection number of bacteria requires an increase in the number of petri dishes, which necessitates preparation and operation, and is inferior to the pour method in practical terms.
培養条件は、一部の低温細菌や中温細菌を対象とする場合には、30℃、48時間相当の条件で培養する。中温細菌を対象とする場合には、35℃、48時間相当の条件で培養する。もっとも、培養条件は、必要に応じて適宜調製することができる。また、ここで示す培養条件の数値は、至適条件であって、厳密な精度を求めるものではない。これら数値は、実用上、許容できる程度の前後幅を含む。 As for the culture conditions, when some low-temperature bacteria and mesophilic bacteria are targeted, the culture is performed at 30 ° C. for 48 hours. In the case of targeting mesophilic bacteria, the cells are cultured at 35 ° C. for 48 hours. However, the culture conditions can be appropriately prepared as necessary. Moreover, the numerical value of the culture condition shown here is an optimum condition and does not require strict accuracy. These numerical values include an acceptable front-rear width.
所定条件の下で培養した後、固化した培地に形成されたコロニーを目視により計数する。そして、得られた計数値を基に、希釈倍率から冷菓の単位量あたりの生菌数を算出するのである。乳酸菌は、生育が抑制されてコロニーを形成しないため、安心して計測できる。 After culturing under predetermined conditions, colonies formed on the solidified medium are counted visually. Based on the obtained count value, the number of viable bacteria per unit amount of the frozen dessert is calculated from the dilution rate. Since lactic acid bacteria are suppressed in growth and do not form colonies, they can be measured with confidence.
そして、このとき、BCPが所定量添加してあると、コントラストが高まるため、コロニーの判別が容易である。つまり、混釈法の場合、培地の内部でコロニーが形成されるため、コロニーが微小になる傾向があるが、その場合であっても、コントラストによってコロニーがくっきりと見えるからである。 At this time, if a predetermined amount of BCP is added, the contrast increases, so that colonies can be easily identified. That is, in the case of the pour method, colonies tend to be minute because colonies are formed inside the medium, but even in this case, the colonies can be clearly seen by contrast.
以上のように、本発明の測定方法によれば、従来用いられている培地を工夫して冷菓を所定倍希釈するだけで、これまで手間と時間を要していた、乳酸菌を多量に含む冷菓の細菌検査を簡単かつ迅速に行うことが可能となるのである。 As described above, according to the measuring method of the present invention, a frozen confectionery containing a large amount of lactic acid bacteria, which has been time-consuming and time-consuming, has been required only by diluting the frozen confectionery by a predetermined amount by devising a conventionally used medium. This makes it possible to easily and quickly carry out the bacterial test.
もっとも、希釈する分、検出下限菌数は高くなるが、冷菓を対象としているため、その規格基準を考慮すれば、規格を満たすか否かの判断には十分である。たとえば、アイスクリームであれば、規格基準が100,000(1×105)cfu/ml以下なので、10000倍に希釈しても、シャーレ中に10個のコロニーが検出されるか否かで規格基準を満たすか否かの判断を行うことができ、ラクトアイスやアイスミルクであれば、規格基準が50,000(5×104)cfu/ml以下なので、5000倍に希釈しても、シャーレ中に10個のコロニーが検出されるか否かで規格基準を満たすか否かの判断を行うことができる。 Of course, the number of detection lower limit bacteria is increased by the amount of dilution, but since it is intended for frozen desserts, it is sufficient to determine whether or not the standard is satisfied, considering the standard. For example, in the case of ice cream, the standard standard is 100,000 (1 × 10 5 ) cfu / ml or less, so whether or not 10 colonies are detected in the petri dish even if diluted 10,000 times. It can be judged whether or not the standard is satisfied. In the case of lacto ice or ice milk, the standard standard is 50,000 (5 × 10 4 ) cfu / ml or less. Whether 10 standard colonies are detected or not can be judged whether or not the standard is satisfied.
{第1実施例}
第1実施例として、本発明の測定方法(以下、Blue−SMA法という)を、先に説明したIDF153法による測定方法と比較した実験を示す。
{First Example}
As a first example, an experiment in which the measurement method of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the Blue-SMA method) is compared with the measurement method by the IDF153 method described above is shown.
測定対象には、発酵乳が40%使用された乳酸菌入りのアイスクリームを用いた。これには、無脂乳固形分12.5%、乳脂肪分13.5%が含まれるとともに、乳酸菌が約107cfu/g含まれている。含まれる乳酸菌は、発酵乳製造時に用いられたスターターの乳酸菌である。具体的には、Streptococcus thermophilus OLS3290株(FERM P−19638)、Lactobacillus bulgaricus OLL1073R−1株(FERM BP−10741)の2種である。この乳酸菌入りアイスクリームのロット別の計17サンプルについて測定を行った。 As an object to be measured, ice cream containing lactic acid bacteria using 40% fermented milk was used. This contains 12.5% non-fat milk solids, 13.5% milk fat, and about 10 7 cfu / g lactic acid bacteria. The lactic acid bacteria contained are starter lactic acid bacteria used in the production of fermented milk. Specifically, Streptococcus thermophilus OLS3290 strain (FERM P-19638) and Lactobacillus bulgaricus OLL1073R-1 strain (FERM BP-10741). A total of 17 samples were measured for each lot of ice cream containing lactic acid bacteria.
培地には、先に説明した、標準寒天培地にBCPを添加した培地(Blue−SMA、MERCK社製)を用いた。培養温度は30℃と35℃、培養期間はいずれも48時間とした。 As the medium, the medium (Blue-SMA, manufactured by MERCK) obtained by adding BCP to the standard agar medium described above was used. The culture temperature was 30 ° C. and 35 ° C., and the culture period was 48 hours.
測定試料には、測定対象である乳酸菌入りアイスクリームを、滅菌済み生理食塩水(塩分濃度0.85%)で10倍(10−1)、100倍(10−2)、1000倍(10−3)に希釈したものを用いた。35℃では、それに加えて10000倍(10−4)、100000倍(10−5)に希釈して、それぞれを測定試料とした。 The measurement sample, the lactic acid bacteria-containing ice cream to be measured, sterile saline 10-fold (salinity 0.85%) (10 -1), 100-fold (10-2), 1000-fold (10 - What was diluted in 3 ) was used. At 35 ° C., in addition to that, the sample was diluted 10,000 times (10 −4 ) and 100,000 times (10 −5 ), and each was used as a measurement sample.
得られた各測定試料1mlは、適量のBlue−SMAと滅菌シャーレに混釈して固化させた後、それぞれ各温度で48時間培養し、検出されたコロニー数を目視により計数した。 1 ml of each measurement sample obtained was mixed with an appropriate amount of Blue-SMA and a sterilized petri dish to be solidified, and then cultured at each temperature for 48 hours, and the number of colonies detected was counted visually.
比較対象として、上記の測定と同時に上記各17サンプル対して、IDF153法に従い測定を行った。具体的には、同法所定の培地で滅菌シャーレに培地平板を作製した。そして、先の100倍〜10000倍に希釈した各測定試料0.1mlを培地平板上に塗抹した後、30℃、72時間培養し、検出したコロニー数を目視により計数した。 As a comparison object, measurement was performed according to the IDF153 method for each of the 17 samples simultaneously with the above measurement. Specifically, a medium plate was prepared in a sterilized petri dish using a predetermined medium in the same method. Then, after 0.1 ml of each measurement sample diluted 100 times to 10000 times above was smeared on a medium plate, it was cultured at 30 ° C. for 72 hours, and the number of colonies detected was counted visually.
そのほか、各サンプルに含まれる乳酸菌数についても、乳等省令に従って測定した。 In addition, the number of lactic acid bacteria contained in each sample was also measured according to a ministerial ordinance such as milk.
Blue−SMA法において、10倍希釈では、いずれも培地全体にわたる黄変が認められた。また、100倍希釈でも培地の変色が認められた。そのため、これらについては、乳酸菌の影響があると判断し、測定対象から除外した。一方、1000倍希釈以上では、培地に変色は認められなかった。そこで、1000倍希釈以上の測定試料を採用し、各測定試料の培地に形成されたコロニー数を計数した。その計数結果を図4に示す。図4に示すように、測定を行った乳酸菌入りアイスクリーム17サンプルのいずれにも、約106〜108cfu/gの乳酸菌が含まれていた。そして、1000倍希釈相当の計数結果に基づき、希釈倍率から冷菓1gあたりの生菌数を算出した。その算出結果は、図5の表、および図6、図7のグラフに示す。なお、その場合の検出限界は、1000cfu/gである(<1000)。 In the Blue-SMA method, yellowing over the entire medium was observed at 10-fold dilution. In addition, discoloration of the medium was observed even at 100-fold dilution. Therefore, these were judged to be affected by lactic acid bacteria and excluded from the measurement target. On the other hand, when the dilution was 1000 times or more, no color change was observed in the medium. Therefore, a measurement sample having a 1000-fold dilution or more was employed, and the number of colonies formed in the medium of each measurement sample was counted. The counting results are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, about 10 6 to 10 8 cfu / g lactic acid bacteria were contained in any of the 17 ice cream samples containing lactic acid bacteria. And based on the count result equivalent to 1000-fold dilution, the number of viable bacteria per 1 g of frozen dessert was calculated from the dilution rate. The calculation results are shown in the table of FIG. 5 and the graphs of FIGS. In this case, the detection limit is 1000 cfu / g (<1000).
図4および図5に示すように、Blue−SMA法では、検出無しから最大37000cfu/gの生菌数が測定された。なお、図4において、サンプルNo.11の100000倍(10−5)など、希釈倍率からすれば本来検出されないはずの一部に検出が認められているが、これは、細菌検査に伴う操作上の誤差と考える。したがって、数個程度の計数値では、定性的にみても精度が低いため、規格に対して検出の有無を判断するのは難しい。そこで、本実施例では、ある程度まとまった数の検出値でもって対比できる1000倍希釈について評価を行うこととした。そして、図5に示すように、1000倍希釈の測定試料における結果をみると、30℃では、検出無しは9サンプル、1000cfu/gレベルは6サンプル、10000cfu/gレベルは2サンプルであった。同様に、35℃では、検出無しは7サンプル、1000cfu/gレベルは4サンプル、10000cfu/gレベルは6サンプルであった。 As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the Blue-SMA method, the maximum viable count of 37000 cfu / g was measured from no detection. In FIG. Although detection is recognized in a part that should not be detected originally from the dilution factor, such as 100000 times (10 −5 ) of 11, this is considered to be an operational error associated with the bacterial test. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the presence or absence of detection with respect to the standard because the accuracy is low even with a few count values even qualitatively. Therefore, in this example, the 1000-fold dilution that can be compared with a certain number of detection values is evaluated. As shown in FIG. 5, the results of the 1000-fold diluted measurement sample were 9 samples at 30 ° C., 6 samples at 1000 cfu / g level, and 2 samples at 10000 cfu / g level at 30 ° C. Similarly, at 35 ° C., there were 7 samples without detection, 4 samples at 1000 cfu / g level, and 6 samples at 10000 cfu / g level.
対して、IDF153法では、検出無しから最大27000cfu/gの生菌数が測定された。そして、1000倍希釈に相当する測定試料(10−2)における結果をみると、検出無しは8サンプル、1000cfu/gレベルは6サンプル、10000cfu/gレベルは3サンプルであった。 In contrast, in the IDF153 method, viable cell counts of up to 27000 cfu / g were measured from no detection. The results for the measurement sample (10 −2 ) corresponding to 1000-fold dilution were 8 samples without detection, 6 samples at 1000 cfu / g level, and 3 samples at 10000 cfu / g level.
図6、図7は、図5に示す結果から、冷菓の1000倍希釈相当の測定試料における、Blue−SMA法とIDF153法での各サンプルの生菌数の測定結果を対比して示したグラフである。図6は培養温度が30℃の結果であり、図7は培養温度が35℃の結果である。各グラフに示されるように、Blue−SMA法は、30℃、35℃のいずれの場合も、IDF153法とほぼ同じ検出傾向が認められた。とくに、生菌数が少なくて誤差が大きいレベルでは多少の相違は認められるものの、生菌数が多くなると、よりその傾向が認められた。
FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are graphs comparing the measurement results of the viable cell count of each sample in the measurement sample corresponding to 1000-fold dilution of frozen dessert with the Blue-SMA method and the
したがって、Blue−SMA法は、IDF153法と同程度の検出精度を有していることがわかる。 Therefore, it can be seen that the Blue-SMA method has the same detection accuracy as the IDF153 method.
{第2実施例}
第2実施例として、BCPの添加量の影響を確認した実験を示す。本実験では、乳酸菌を含むある冷菓を試料に、Blue−SMAのBCPの添加量だけを変えて、生菌数の測定を行った。
{Second Example}
As a second example, an experiment in which the influence of the added amount of BCP is confirmed is shown. In this experiment, the number of viable bacteria was measured using a certain frozen dessert containing lactic acid bacteria as a sample and changing only the amount of Blue-SMA BCP added.
標準寒天培地1000mlあたりのBCPの添加量を0.020g、0.025g、0.030gとしたBlue−SMAを調製した。そして、希釈率の異なる各試料(10倍〜1000倍)に対し、調製したBlue−SMAを用いて生菌数の測定を行った(N=2、それぞれの試料に対して2回測定)。なお、培養条件は、いずれも温度35℃、48時間培養であり、操作等、その他も同じ条件の下で行った。各サンプルに含まれる乳酸菌数についても、乳等省令に従って測定した。 Blue-SMA was prepared in which the amount of BCP added per 1000 ml of standard agar medium was 0.020 g, 0.025 g, and 0.030 g. Then, the number of viable bacteria was measured for each sample (10 times to 1000 times) with different dilution ratios using the prepared Blue-SMA (N = 2, measured twice for each sample). The culture conditions were all cultivated at a temperature of 35 ° C. for 48 hours, and the operation and others were performed under the same conditions. The number of lactic acid bacteria contained in each sample was also measured according to an ordinance such as milk.
その結果を図8に示す。図8に示すように、いずれのBCPの添加量でも、10倍および100倍希釈では黄変が認められ、乳酸菌の影響が認められたが、500倍希釈および1000倍希釈では黄変は認められず、コロニーの発生も認められなかった。図示はしないが、測定を行った各サンプルにおいて、約107〜108cfu/gの乳酸菌が認められた。したがって、少なくとも上記のBCPの添加量であれば、乳酸菌生育の抑制効果に違いはなく、確実かつ安定して測定できることがわかった。 The result is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, yellowing was observed at the 10-fold and 100-fold dilutions regardless of the amount of BCP added, and the effect of lactic acid bacteria was observed, but yellowing was observed at the 500-fold dilution and 1000-fold dilutions. In addition, no colonies were observed. Although not shown in the drawings, about 10 7 to 10 8 cfu / g of lactic acid bacteria were observed in each measured sample. Therefore, it was found that as long as at least the above-mentioned amount of BCP was added, there was no difference in the effect of suppressing the growth of lactic acid bacteria, and the measurement could be performed reliably and stably.
以上説明したとおり、本発明によれば、IDF153法等、これまで時間と手間をかけなければ測定できなかった、生きた乳酸菌が多量に含まれる冷菓の生菌数を、実用上十分な検出精度でもって、簡便かつ迅速に測定することが可能となる。 As described above, according to the present invention, the number of viable bacteria in frozen confectionery containing a large amount of live lactic acid bacteria, which could not be measured without taking time and effort, such as the IDF153 method, has been practically sufficient. Therefore, it becomes possible to measure easily and quickly.
