Abstract

This project was undertaken to compare the Korea Food Standards Code, Food Additives Code and Codex Food Category System and to propose necessary measures to improve the regulatory system of food additives which are scientifically reasonable and harmonizable with international standards. Current food grouping and nomenclature in Korea were specifically compared with the Codex Food Category System and measures to solve any problems in connection with the use of additives in traditional foods were attempted. Among the food commodities in the Korea Foods Standards Code, 8 food groups including Korean confections, semisolid starchy syrups, bean curds and starch gels, edible oils and fats, tea beverages, seasoning foods, kimchi and salted vegetables, and ginseng products were chosen to propose some improvement measures to harmonize the classification, nomenclature, definition and use of additives with the Codex standards.

본 연구는 식품첨가물공전, 식품공전 및 Codex 에서의 첨가물관리현황을 비교 분석하여 첨가물공전 체계의 개선방향을 제시함으로서 국제적으로 조화가능한 과학적 및 체계적 기준 규격을 수립할 수 있도록 하기위해 착수되었다. 그 결과를 요약하면 국내에서의 식품의 분류 및 명칭을 Codex 식품분류체계와 비교, 검토한 후 우리나라 전통식품의 첨가물 사용과 관련하여 Codex 식품분류에 포함될 수 있도록 모색하였다. 식품공전에 있는 식품들을 검색한 결과 한과류, 엿류, 두부류와 묵류, 식용유지류, 다류, 조미식품, 김치전임식품, 인삼 및 홍삼제품의 8개 식품군에 속하는 식품들의 분류, 정의, 명칭, 첨가물 사용여부를 감안하여 Codex 기준과 조화시키기 위한 개별적인 개선방안을 제시하였다.
