Özet:

 


This
study was performed to determine the presences of Listeria species in three fish processing factories in İzmir,
Turkey.  Gilt head seabream (Sparus aurata) has been processed in
three factories and exported as frozen to other foreign countries. Listeria spp.  expecially Listeria monocytogenes can be a point under consideration of fish
processing factories while exporting. For this purpose; A total of 300 samples
were examined for Listeria spp in
three fish processing factories to determine the contamination levels of fish
processing factories with Listeria spp.
Samples were taken from units of fish processing factories such as (boxes,
processing tables, floors) and equipments (processing coats, gloves) and also
processed products (frozen fish). According to the results of this study, Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from
21 or 7% of the samples Listeria ivanovi
was isolated from 15 or 5% of the samples and Listeria welshimeri/innocua was isolated from 2 or 0.6% of the
samples collected from three factories. Listeria
welshimeri/innocua was only isolated from the processing coats (2 or 11%)
in factory A. However, Listeria
monocytogenes was isolated from boxes (1 or 6%), processing tables (2 or
11%), floor (4 or 22%), processing coats (3 or 17%), gloves (6 or 33%) and
frozen fish (5 or 50%) samples taken from the factory C. Except for frozen
fish, Listeria ivanovi was isolated
from boxes (7 or 39 %), processing tables (3 or 17%), floor (3 or 17%),
processing coats (1 or 6 %) and gloves (1 or 6%) taken from the factory B. The
incidence of Listeria species in the
production line of fish processing factories points out that contamination can
occur during fish processing stage. Therefore, Listeria spp. must be controlled during processing of fishery
products. Proper cleaning and sanitation programme of fish processing factories
must be applied. Samples must be taken and examined regularly from every units
and equipments of fish processing factories to avoid the contamination and
spread of Listeria spp in fish
processing factories. Cleaning of fish processing equipments and fish
processing units could be very important in order to avoid the occurrence of
cross contamination of the fishery products. It must be taken hygienic
precautions because of the contamination of Listeria
spp. Besides HACCP plan must be applied to prevent recontamination of Listeria species to fishery products and
it must be also applied to eradicate Listeria
species from the fish processing factories.
