국내 및 Codex에서 식품첨가물의 사용기준 비교

Comparison between Use Levels of Food Additives by Codex and Korea

  • 발행 : 2006.03.01

초록

국내와 Codex에서의 식품첨가물 사용기준패턴 및 식품분류방법에 따른 차이 때문에 양자간의 첨가물 사용기준을 비교하는 데 많은 어려움이 예상되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 benzoic acid, food red No. 2, sulfur dioxide, polysorbate 60에 대해 첨가물별 사용기준 대조표와 된장, 고추장, 라면에 대해 식품별 사용기준 대조표를 작성하였다. 첨가물별 사용기준 대조표의 작성에서는 식품분류방법에서의 차이 때문에, 그리고 식품별 사용기준 대조표에서는 국내 첨가물 사용기준 설정 패턴의 혼용 때문에 많은 문제점과 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 사용기준대조표는 규제당국 및 식품산업계에서 긴요하게 활용될 수 있을 것이며 사용기준의 국가간, 식품간 비교시 세심한 주의가 요구된다는 점을 보여주었다.

It is anticipated that difficulties are encountered in comparing the use levels of food additives between Korean and Codex systems because of the differences in the use level pattern and food classification method. This study was attempted to construct comparison tables between Korean and Codex standards for benzoic acid, food red No. 2, sulfur dioxide and polysorbate as well as for soybean paste, hot soybean paste and intstant noodle. Difficulties were found to be due to the food category system in use levels by additives and due to the mixed pattern of use level setting in Korea in use levels by food commodities. The comparison tables proposed in this study will be utilized momentously by regulatory authorities and food processing industry. This study showed the necessity to pay attention in comparing the use levels of food additives by country and food commodity.
