Abstract

The purpose of this study was to introduce the toxicological study review to evaluate the safety of PDMS on the 69th JECFA meeting. Polydimethylsiloxane is a polymer and its ADI was established at 23rd JECFA meeting in 1979. The ADI was maintained although the specification was expanded at its 26th, 29 th, 37 th meetings. Recently, it was reported that PDMS with low molecular weight and viscosity has high absorption rate and different toxicity, so it was submitted at 69th meeting. Toxicological studies of PDMS were submitted from the sponsor and additional information is collected from a document searching. The toxicological studies were reviewed in accordance with the 'Guidelines for the preparation of toxicological working papers for the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives'. In the available acute, sub-chronic and chronic toxicity studies on PDMS, dose-related increases in incidence and severity of ocular lesions(corneal crystal, inflammation of the corneal epithelium etc.) were consistently observed after oral dosing. It seems to be a local irritant effect, but the mechanism by which the ocular lesions arose is unclear, although the lack of absorption of PDMS indicates that it is unlikely to be a direct systemic effect. Consequently, the relevance of the ocular lesions for food use of PDMS could not be determined. The ADI of PDMS was re-established from 0-1.5 mg/kg bw/day to 0-0.8 mg/kg bw/day by applying additional safety factor 2 based on its ocular toxicity. The result of 0-0.8 mg/kg bw/day is a temporary ADI until further data are provided to 2010.

본 연구는 최근 JECFA에서 이슈화된 식품첨가물의 평가 정보를 파악하여 국내에서 선제적 위해관리에 활용할 수있도록 하기 위하여, 제 69차 JECFA 회의에 의제로 선정된 PDMS의 독성자료 검토 및 monograph 작성 내용에 대하여 소개하고자 수행되었다. PDMS의 독성자료 검토는 'Guidelines for the preparation of toxicological working papers for the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives'에 근거하였고, 평가 의뢰 시 제공된 자료 및 추가적으로 검색된 자료를 활용하였다. PDMS는 거품제거와 뭉침 방지를 위하여 간장, 제당, 당밀, 유제품, 쨈, 과즙제품, 두부 등의 제조 시 첨가물로 사용된다. 15,000-20,000 Da 이하의 분자량을 가지는 PDMS가 혈관을 통해 좀 더 쉽게 흡수될 수 있다는 문제가 제기되어, 기존에 설정된 ADI 0-1.5 mg/kg bw/day의 검토가 요구되었다. 이에 따라 흡수, 분포, 배설에 대한 자료와 독성시험자료의 검토가 수행되었다. 검토 결과 PDMS는 체내로 흡수가 거의 이루어지지 않고 대부분 배설되었으며, 급성독성, 아만성독성, 만성독성시험에서 특이적인 전신증상이 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 급성독성, 아만성독성 및 만성독성시험에서 안구독성이 일관되게 관찰되었으며 이 안구독성의 기전이 확실하게 밝혀지지 않았다. 따라서 이전에 설정된 ADI 0-1.5mg/kg bw/day 값에 안구독성에 대한 추가적인 safety factor 2를 적용하여 temporary ADI 0-0.8 mg/kg bw/day로 재설정하였다. 또한 독성시험에서 관찰된 안구독성의 타당성을 설명하기 위한 추가적인 연구결과를 2010년까지 제공하도록 요청하였다.
