Abstract

Acrolein is a highly toxic, reactive mutagenic aldehyde. Humans are exposed to acrolein vapors from overheated cooking oil, cigarette smoke, and combustion of organic products. In this study, we investigated elementary and middle school students' consumption of foods cooked at high heat, such as fried, direct fire, and indirect fire cooked foods. The subjects of this survey study were 265 fifth grade students and 396 middle school students nationwide. According to the results of the frequency test, broiled fish was the most frequently consumed, followed by fried fish, indirect cooked samgyebsal, and other fried foods, which were eaten more than three times per month. The total intake of foods cooked at high heat per child over 1 year was in the following order: Fried chicken(7.50 kg) > Samgeybsal(6.57 kg) > Broiled pork ribs(4.18 kg) > Broiled fish(4.12 kg) > Bulgogi(3.31 kg) > Fried dish(3.18 kg) > Pork cuttlet(3.17 kg) > Jeyukbockeum(3.13 kg) > Charcoal-broiled beef ribs(2.74 kg) > Roasted whole chicken(2.05 kg) > Dackochi(1.87 kg) > Tangsuyuk(1.87 kg) > Fried fish(1.83 kg) > Hamburger patties(1.21 kg) > Fried potato(1.01 kg) > Barbecue(0.95 kg) > Doughnut(0.80 kg) > Corn dog(0.66 kg) > Croquette(0.51 kg). The favorite cooking method was indirect fire cooking for beef, pork, and fish, whereas frying was preferred for chicken. The results of this study provide important data for assessment of acrolein exposure via foods cooked at high heat temperature. The results also indicate that children might be exposed to acrolein through consumption of foods cooked at high heat temperature, suggesting the need to promote education of proper food consumption behavior.

지방이 많은 식품의 고온가열 조리시 생성되는 acrolein은 발암물질이며, 인체에 이행축적 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 학령기 아동과 청소년에 이르는 초등학생과 중학생을 대상으로 그들이 선호하는 튀김, 직화구이 및 간접구이 등의 고온가열조리식품에 대한 섭취실태를 조사하기 위하여 서울 및 수도권의 대도시 소재 초등학교 5학년생 265명과 중학생 396명을 포함 총 661명이 응답한 설문결과를 SPSS 12.0통계 분석 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 19종류의 고온가열조리식품을 대상으로 한 섭취 빈도조사에서 가장 많이 섭취하는 음식은 꽁치 및 생선직화구이 > 생선튀김 > 삼겹살간접구이 > 튀김류 순으로 한 달에 3회 이상의 빈도로 섭취하였으며, 아동 1인당 고온가열조리식품의 연간 총식품 섭취량은 후라이드치킨(7.50 kg) > 삼겹살구이(6.57 kg) > 돼지갈비구이(4.18 kg) > 꽁치 및 생선구이(4.12 kg) > 소불고기(3.31 kg) > 튀김류(3.18 kg) > 돈까스(3.17 kg) > 제육볶음(3.13 kg) > 숯불소갈비구이(2.74 kg) > 전기통닭구이(간접구이)(2.05 kg) > 닭꼬치구이(1.87 kg) > 탕수육(1.87 kg) > 생선튀김(1.8 3kg) > 햄버거패티(1.21 kg) > 감자튀김(1.01 kg) > 바비큐(0.95 kg) > 도우넛(0.80 kg) > 핫도그(0.66 kg) > 고로케(0.51 kg) 순으로 나타났다. 식품별 가장 좋아하는 조리법은 쇠고기, 돼지고기 및 생선에 대하여 간접구이 조리법을 선호하고, 닭고기에 대하여서는 튀김 조리법을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 이번 고온가열 조리식품 섭취실태조사는 acrolein 등 지질과산화물 섭취량 조사연구의 기초자료가 될 수 있으며, 학령기 아동 및 청소년의 고온가열식품 섭취실태를 자각하고 올바른 식생활에 대한 교육의 필요성을 시사한다.
