Abstract

Recently, concerns about the volatile hazardous compounds including acetaldehyde, methanol, and fusel oils in alcoholic beverages, which cause hangover such as headache and dizziness after consumption, have been raised. The volatile hazardous compounds might also lead to an increased incidence of liver diseases and even cancers with a high consumption of alcoholic beverages. Acetaldehyde is a volatile compound naturally found in alcoholic beverages and used as flavor in many foods. However this is also regarded as possibly being carcinogenic to humans. Furthermore, acetaldehyde with alcoholic consumption is recently classified as Group 1, carcinogenic to humans. On the other hand, methanol is generated from demethoxylation of pectin by pectinolytic enzyme during alcoholic fermentation. Higher alcohols occur naturally in alcoholic beverages as by-products of alcoholic fermentation and are generally regarded as important flavor compounds. In the current study, we reviewed on the health concern, maximum levels, analytical methods, and current levels of hazardous volatile compounds in alcoholic beverages.

최근 주류 섭취 시 숙취와 관련이 있는 성분인 아세트알데히드, 메탄올 및 퓨젤유를 포함한 휘발성 유해성분에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 또한, 이들 성분들은 과음 시 간질환 및 암을 유발할 수도 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 아세트알데히드는 주류에서 발견되는 휘발성 성분이며 많은 식품에서 향미소재로 사용되고 있으나, 인체에 발암가능 물질로 분류되기도 한다. 특히, 알코올과 같이 섭취 시에는 1급 발암물질로 분류되고 있다. 메탄올은 알코올 발효 중 펙틴 분해 효소에 의해 팩틴의 demethoxylation 기작으로 생성된다. 이에 비해 퓨젤유는 알코올 발효의 부산물로 생성되며, 주류의 주요한 향미성분으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 주류에 포함되어 있는 휘발성 유해성분들이 건강에 미치는 영향, 이들의 최대허용함량 및 다양한 주류에서의 실제 함량, 그리고, 이들의 분석방법에 대해 고찰하였다.
