Abstract

An analytical method of nine synthetic foods colors in Korea, Japan, Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee of Food Additives (JECFA), and USA were compared. Contents of water insoluble matter in synthetic food colors tested were not different by general test methods of various organs. Contents of chloride and sulfate salts in Food Green No.3, Food Red No.3, Food Blue No.2, and Food Yellow No.4 slightly differed in various methods, and but up to the standard, and general test methods of JECFA and USA needed far more time. For the measurement of arsenic contents in food colors, colorimetric method in Korea and Japan, and silver diethyldithiocarbamate colorimetric method in USA and JECFA were used, but the standards of them were different. Content of heavy metals was up to the standard, but the methods were used colorimetric method in Korea, atomic absorption method in Japan, and both methods in JECFA and USA.

국내에서 유통되는 식용 타르색소 9종에 대하여 한국, 일본, 미국 및 JECFA의 색소시험법에 따라 비교$\cdot$시험하였다. 식용색소의 물불용물 함량은 각 기관의 시험법에서 차이가 없었으며, 모두 규격기준에 적합하였다. 식용색소 녹색 제3호, 적색 제3호, 청색 제2호 및 황색 제4호의 염화물 및 황산염 함량은 각 기관의 방법에 따라 약간 달랐지만 모두 규격기준에 적합하였고, JECFA와 미국방법에서는 분석하는데 시간이 더 많이 소요되었다. 비소 함량은 한국과 일본에서 비색법으로 비교하였으며, 규격기준이 미국 및 JECFA와 달랐다. 중금속 함량은 모두 규격기준에 적합하였으나 한국은 비색법, 일본은 원자흡광도법, 미국과 JECFA는 두 가지 방법을 모두 사용하였다. 비술폰화방향족제 1급 아민의 함량은 분석시료 모두 $0.0005\%$(aniline으로서)이하로서 규격기준($0.01\%$이하)에 모두 적합하였다.
