Abstract

Standard and lead limit test in general test method of Korea, Japan, Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee of Food Additives (JECFA), USA, and EU on synthetic and natural food additives were compared. There were found that the general test methods in 'Korea Food Additives Code' were different from standards of various institutes on lead limit test. For the lead limit test of food additives, Korea used dithizone method, Japan used atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and USA used dithizone method, flame atomic absorption spectrophotometric method, atomic absorption spectrophotometric graphite furnace method, and APDC extraction method. In addition, JECFA and EU used dithizone method and atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. The dithizone methods of Korea, USA, and JECFA were nearly identical. In the case of USA, JECFA, and EU, the analytical methods for lead limit test were shown in individual monograph. Lead limit test against 13 synthetic, such as magnesium stearate and L-cystine, and 12 natural, such as gua gum and diatomaceous earth, food additives distributed in Korea were performed by the analytical method of each institute. Although all institutes use various methods for analysis of lead, contents of lead in food additives tested fell into the standard of each institute.

식품첨가물공전의 일반시험법 중 납시험법에 대하여 국내에 유통되는 식품첨가물을 대상으로 한국, 일본, JECFA, 미국 및 EU의 규격 및 시험법에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 식품첨가물의 납 함량을 분석하는 방법으로서 한국은 비색법에 의한 디티존법을 채택하고 있으며, 일본은 원자흡광도측정법(분광광도계법)을, 미국은 디티존법(비색법), 원자흡광도측정법(분광광도계법), 원자흡광도측정법(흑연로법), APDC 추출법 등 4가지의 방법을, JECFA와 EU는 디티존법(비색법), 원자흡광도측정법(분광광도계법)을 채택하고 있다. 한국, 미국 및 JECFA의 디티존법은 거의 동일하였으며, 미국, JECFA및 EU는 검체의 종류에 따라 사용하는 방법을 개별 품목에 별도로 나타내고 있다. 국내에서 유통되는 112.스테아린산마그네슘 등 화학적합성품 13품목과 5.구아검 등 천연첨가물 12품목 등 검체의 납함량을 각 기관의 분석방법에 따라 분석한 결과 모두 각 기관의 규격 및 기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, 시험 및 조작방법상의 문제점도 나타나지 않았다.
