contamination and maintain the quality of mung bean sprout Assoc Prof Dr Pongphen Jitareerat Ms Trinh Thi Chung Abstract: The use of suitable sanitizers can increase the quality and reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses of mung bean sprout The objective of this research was to study the effects of acidified sodium chlorite (ASC which was prepared from mixture of 0.1g/l sodium chlorite and 5% citric acid, pH 2.3) to control microbial contamination and maintain the quality of mung bean sprout The optimal concentation (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 g/l) and dipping time (1, 5, 10, and 15 min) of ASC solution for controlling browning of sprouts was investigated The result revealed that 0.1 g/l ASC for was the best concentration and dipping time for controlling browning This concentration and dipping time was selected to study its effects on microbial decontamination and maintaining the quality of mung bean sprout in compared with non-treated sprout, water washed sprout, and common sanitizing agent (100 ppm sodium chlorite) treated sprout All samples were then stored at 10°C for days The sprout treated with 0.1 g/l ASC for resulted in a significant reduction of bialtotal bacteria, and coliform in comparing with the other treatments ASC treatment also maintained the quality of sprout by inhibiting the browning as indicated by browning score and the changes of color (high L* value and low a* value) Furthermore the treatment with ASC could delay weight loss but did not show any significant negative effect on texture and total soluble solids content Sensory evaluation showed that ASC treated sprout had higher score of color, odor, and over all acceptance than non-treated sprout Therefore, this result indicated that 0.1 g/l ASC for has the potential to minimize microbial growth i and maintaining quality of mung bean sprouts Key words browning, coliform, food born pathogens, sanitizing agent, sprout Number of pages 43 pages Date of Submission

on the sensory quality of borage and the panelists gave higher scores General, the sensory score of unwashed sprouts had the lowest score from 1th to 4th during of storage A great number of differences in sensory score between samples may be due to the fact that the chemical treated sprouts reduced of respiration rate and ethylene synthesis result in the development of color, off-odours problems and effect to the overall acceptance of product along with the reduce of a wilted or shriveled appearance (Ahvenainen, R and Hurme, E., 1994) Microbial population of mung bean sprouts was closely correlated to safety and quality deterioration The samples dipped with chemical solution helps to control the population of microorganisms on sprouts In this study, the microbial growth on the surface of mung bean sprouts decreased during storage The result indicated that the lowest of the microbial count in the samples treated with 0.1g/l ASC for may be a direct effect of ASC (Fig 3.14, 3.15) Warf (2001) hypothesized that the mode of action of ASC derives from the uncharged chlorous acid, which is formed by the acidification of chlorite Chlorous acid gradually decomposes to form chlorate ions, chlorine dioxide, and chloride ions These reactive intermediates are highly oxidative with broad–spectrum germicidal activity (FDA, 2007) In addition, chlorine dioxide inhibits protein synthesis immediately upon contact with microorganisms ( Benarde, et al., 1967) by its bactericidal action may involve direct oxidation of protein and lipid molecules Warf (2001) reported that SC alone reduced microbial populations nearly as much as ASC This suggests that SC (and not citric acid or the pH of the treatment) is the major antimicrobial factor Therefore, the bactericidal action of sanitizers cannot depend on lowering pH only (Benjamin and Datta., 1995) However, the low pH environment created by citric acid and the highly oxidative intermediate of ASC which are broad spectrum germicidal agent, a vected antibacterial capacity (Paris et al., 2003) The sprouts treatment with 100 ppm SH (Sodium hypochlorite) also significantly decreased the number of microorganisms A study by Adams et al (1989) suggested that an aqueous hypochlorite solution may not wet the hydrophobic surface of the waxy cuticle of the vegetables and the formation of a biofilm could protect the microorganisms against the lethal effects of the hypochlorite Lund (1983) also showed that the contact with a host tissue may inactivate hypochlorite This conclude may be explained for the samples dipped with 0.1 g/l ASC discovered had lower microbial quantity compared with other treatments during the storage 29 PART IV CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION 4.1 Conclusion ● Immerssing mung bean sprouts in 0.1 g/l ASC for and stored at 10ºC has efficacy on: + Reduce Total Bacteria and Coliform + Reduce browning + Maintain L* and a* value + Show high acceptance scores in color, odour, and overall + No effect on TSS + No effect on texture + Delay weight loss ● ASC can be used to control microbial and maintain the quality of mung bean sprout ● ASC can be used as an alternative sanitizer for sodium hypochlorite (harmful agent) 4.2 Suggestion ● High ASC concentration with a short dipping time would be interested to study for saving time consumption ● Effect of ASC treatment combined with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is also recommended to study for extending the shelf life of sprout 30 REFERENCE Sun, H.S., Kim, J.S., Kwak, J.S and Yoon, S K., 2012, “Efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and
