A Study on Intakes of Some Food Additives by Korean

한국인의 식품첨가물 섭취량 조사

A survey for BHA (butyl hydroxy anisol), BHT(dibutyl hydroxy toluene), DHA (dehydroxy acetic acid), BA (benzoic acid), Sor. A. (Sorbic acid), POBA-Esters (P-hydroxy benzoic acid esters of ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl and isobutyl), propionic acid, nitrite (as $N0_2$) and sulfites (as $S0_2$) of food additives which have much interesting to food consumers was carried out to assess the intake amount by Korean through the years of 1985-1987. Additive intakes were estimated by applying the determined a.dditive contents in the specific food to the specific daily food-intake amount obtained from the report of Korean national nutrition survey, and the level in cities were compared higher in general to that in rural communities, and the average level of the nation showed as follows; the estimated value of butyl hydroxy anisol and dibutyl hydroxy toluene in total was 0.017 mg, and 0.030 mg for dehydroxy acetic acid 0.064 mg for benzoic acid, 6.011 mg for sorbic acid, 0.247 mg for p-hydroxy benzoic acid eaters in total, 0.1438 mg for propionic acid 0.016 mg for nitrite ($N0_2$) and 0.022 mg for sulfite ($S0_2$) respectively, and those values were far below to that of FAO/WHO's ADls.

허용된 식품첨가물중 소비자 및 일반의 관심의 대상이 되는 첨가물 중 9개 성분에 대하여 1985년부터 1987년까지 3년간 걸쳐 섭취량 조사를 실시하였다. 식품의 섭취량은 매년 보건사회부에서 실시하는 국민영양 조사자료에서 발췌하였으며 조사식품 977건을 구입하여 춤가물 함량(평균)을 구하여 이를 식품 섭취량에 적용 첨가물 섭취량을 농촌, 도시, 전국으로 구분하여 산출하였다. 한국인의 일일 일인 섭취량은 도시가 농촌보다 높은 수준을 보였으며 전국평균은 BHA 및 BHT 가 함으로 0.017mg, DHA가 0.030mg, BA가 0.064mg, Sor. A가 6.011mg, POBA-Esters가 합으로 0.247mg, Propionic A. 가 0.1438mg, Nitroite ($NO_2$)가 0.016mg, Sulfite($SO_2$)가 0.022mg으로 FAO/WHO에서 평가된 이들 첨가물의 일일허용 섬취량(ADI)에 휠씬 못미치는 양이었다.
