Abstract

Method of analyzing sodium alginate in foods was developed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC conditions for sodium alginate were: column, MCI GEL $(8\;mm\;i.d{\times}300\;mm)$; mobile phase, deionized water; detector, refractive index detection (sensitivity = 16). Separation of sodium alginate was achieved within 15 min. Sodium alginate showed good linear relationship at 0.1-2.0% range. Correlation coefficient of calibration curve for sodium alginate exceeded 0.999, and detection limit was 0.005%. Recovery rate of sodium alginate in wheat flour dough was 106.67%. This method was successfully applied to analyses of cereals, saccharides, and ice cream, etc. Sodium alginate was detected in chocolate, noodles, and kelp at 0-44.8% range.

본 연구는 알긴산나트륨을 분석하기 위한 시료 전처리방법 및 HPLC 분석조건을 확립 한 후, 이 방법을 토대로 다양한 시료들을 분석하여, 분석법의 적용가능 여부를 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 전처리방법, 칼럼 및 HPLC 분석조건을 달리하여 시험하였고, MCI GEL 컬럼을 사용하여 알긴산나트륨 표준용액을 3회 반복 하여 HPLC로 분석한 결과, 표준편차는 14.33, 상대표준 편차는 0.35%를 나타냈다. 검량선을 통해 상관계수$(R^2)$가 0.9995임을 확인하였으며 검출한계는 0.005%의 결과를 보였다. 또한 밀가루 반죽에 표준시료를 첨가 후 회수율을 측정한 결과, 106.67%의 결과를 보였다. 이상의 조건으로 117개 품목에 대한 알긴산나트륨의 함량을 조사한 결과, 대부분의 시료에서 알긴산나트륨이 검출되지 않았으며 알긴산나트륨이 가장 많이 검출된 다시마 조림(44.80%)의 경우 인위적인 첨가물이 아닌 다시마 자체에서 추출된 것으로 사료되며, 이를 확인해 보고자 건조된 다시마와 건조된 미역을 구입하여 분석한 결과 각각 32.6%와 20.9%의 결과를 보였다. 그 외에 초코칩 7.30%, 냉면 2.40%, 가락국수 0.33%의 결과를 나타내었으며 이는 과자류나 면류의 식품첨가물로서 초코칩 쿠키의 경우에는 촉촉함과 부드러움을 유지하기 위하여 알긴산나트륨이 첨가되었을 것으로 판단된다.
