Abstract

This study evaluated daily intakes of BHT, BHA, and TBHQ in Korean. The daily intakes were estimated using both a dietary survey approach and food supply survey approach. In the dietary survey approach, individual dietary intake data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2005, as well as analytical results of BHT in 131 samples, BHA in 134 samples, and TBHQ in 104 samples, were used to assess daily intakes of the antioxidants. In the food supply survey approach, both total production amounts of BHT, BHA and TBHQ and maximum permitted levels of the antioxidants were used to calculate daily intakes. In the dietary survey results, the average daily intakes of BHT, BHA and TBHQ were 0.8, 0.5, and 0.3 ${\mu}g$/kg body weight/day, respectively, and below 0.2% of the ADI (acceptable daily intake) set by JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert committee on Food Additives). In the food supply survey approach, the average daily intakes of BHT, BHA,and TBHQ were all 0.3 mg/kg body weight/day. The ratios of ADI were 97, 60, and 40%, respectively. According to these results, daily intakes of BHT, BHA, and TBHQ in Korean are lower than the ADI.

식품 중 사용빈도가 높은 BHT, BHA, TBHQ에 대한 식이 안전성을 평가하고자, 식이를 통한 섭취량 추정 방법과 공급량 자료를 통한 섭취량 추정 방법을 적용하여 한국인의 BHT, BHA, TBHQ 일일추정 섭취량을 평가하였다. 식이를 통한 섭취량 추정을 위해 산화방지제 별로 BHT 131품목(빵 및 떡류, 과자류, 츄잉껌, 식용유지, 식사대용 곡류가공품, 견과류가공품), BHA 134품목(빵 및 떡류, 과자류, 츄잉껌, 견과류가공품, 마가린), TBHQ 104 품목(빵 및 떡류, 과자류, 츄잉껌, 어패류가공품)을 HPLCUVD 시스템을 이용하여 분석한 후 국민건강·영양조사의 식이섭취량자료를 이용하여 BHT, BHA, TBHQ의 일일추정 섭취량을 산출하였다. 공급량 자료를 이용한 섭취량 추정을 위해 식품 공급량과 첨가물 최대 허용량을 근거로 BHT, BHA, TBHQ의 일일추정 섭취량을 산출하였다. 이 결과를 JECFA의 ADI와 비교하여 안전성을 평가하였다. 식이를 통한 섭취량 추정 결과 BHT의 평균 일일추정 섭취량은 0.8 ${\mu}g$/kg body weight/day, BHA의 평균 일일추정 섭취량은 0.5 ${\mu}g$/kg body weight/day, TBHQ의 평균 일일추정 섭취량은 0.3 ${\mu}g$/kg body weight/day로 나타났고, 이는 각각 ADI 대비 0.2, 0.1, 0.04% 이었다. 상위섭취자($90^{th}$ percentile)의 BHT 평균 섭취량은 2.2 ${\mu}g$/kg body weight/day, BHA의 평균 일일추정 섭취량은 1.6 ${\mu}g$/kg body weight/day, TBHQ의 평균 일일추정 섭취량은 0.6 ${\mu}g$/kg body weight/day로 나타났고, 이는 각각 ADI 대비 0.7, 0.3, 0.1% 로 나타나, 한국인의 BHT, BHA, TBHQ 섭취량은 평균섭취자와 상위섭취자 모두에게서 안전한 수준임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 공급량 자료를 이용한 섭취량 추정 결과 BHT, BHA, TBHQ 섭취량은 각각 0.3 mg/kg body weight/day(ADI 대비 97%), 0.3 mg/kg body weight/day(ADI 대비 60%), 0.3 mg/kg body weight/day(ADI 대비 40%)로 나타나, 역시 안전한 수준인 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 식이를 통한 섭취량 추정결과와 공급량 자료를 이용한 섭취량 추정 결과 간에 200-480배의 섭취량 차이를 보여, 식품첨가물 섭취량은 그 추정 방법에 따라 많은 차이가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
