Abstract

The application of color retention agents (3 items), preservatives (17 items), and bleaching agents (6 items) as food additives in processed foods were investigated by food type. Among color retention agents, sodium nitrite was used the most with 257 cases, mainly in seasoned jeoktal (71.21%), ready-to-eat foods (7.78%), and breads (4.87%). Of the benzoates (1,236 cases) used as a preservative, sodium benzoate showed up most, in 1,215 cases, while 81.16% of these were in beverages such as beverage base (39.51%), mixed beverages (22.47%), and ginseng/red ginseng beverages (8.89%). Grapefruit seed extracts (3,291 cases) were applied to 44 types of processed foods such as sauces (54.65%), liquid tea (10.46%), and other products (5.15%). Ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate (2,957 cases) was applied to products (total 96.44%) such as sauces (92.15%), blended soy sauce (2.77%), and pickled foods (1.52%). Potassium sorbate was applied to a total of 789 cases, mainly pickled foods (40.43%) and processed fishery products (47.15%). All 27 cases of sorbic acid were applied to fish paste (100%). Of the bleaching agents, sodium bisulfite and sodium hydrosulfite were mainly used in confectioneries, breads or rice cakes, and potassium metabisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, and sulfur dioxide were mainly found in alcoholic beverages including fruit wine, while sodium sulfite was mostly used in pickled foods. These results are deemed useful in applying food additives to processed foods.

식품첨가물 중 주용도로 보존료가 제시되어 있는 발색제 3품목, 보존료 17품목 및 표백제 6품목을 대상으로 가공식품 유형별 사용 현황을 조사하였다. 발색제 3품목 중 아질산나트륨이 257건으로 가장 많이 사용되었으며, 양념젓갈(71.21%), 즉석섭취식품(7.78%), 빵류(7.00%) 등에 사용하였다. 보존료로 사용되는 안식향산류 중 안식향산나트륨의 사용 건수는 1,215건으로 안식향산류(총 1,236건)의 대부분을 차지하였고, 음료베이스(39.51%), 혼합음료(22.47%), 인삼·홍삼음료(8.89%) 등 음료류에 81.16%를 사용하였다. 데히드로초산나트륨은 총 57건 중 빵류(49.12%)와 마가린(21.05%)에 주로 사용하였다. 자몽종자추출물은 3,291건 사용되어 보존료 중 가장 많이 사용된 것으로 나타났다. 자몽종자추출물은 소스(54.65%), 액상차(10.46%), 기타가공품(5.15%), 인삼·홍삼음료(3.83%) 등 가공식품 식품유형 44종류에 사용되었다. 파라옥시안식향산에틸의 사용 건수는 2,957건으로서 파라옥시안식향산류의 대부분을 차지하였고, 소스(92.15%), 혼합간장(2.77%), 절임식품(1.52%) 등의 식품유형에 96.44%를 사용하였다. 프로피온산류 3종은 거의 대부분 빵류에 사용되었다. 소브산칼륨은 789건 중 절임식품(40.43%), 어묵(34.09%), 조미건어포(7.22%), 소스(4.06%) 등 주로 절임식품과 수산물가공식품류(총 47.15%)에 사용한 것으로 나타났다. 소브산은 27건의 사용사례 모두 어묵(100%)에 사용된 것으로 나타났다. 표백제로 사용되는 아황산염류 6품목 중 산성아황산나트륨과 차아황산나트륨은 주로 과자류, 빵류 또는 떡류에, 메타중아황산칼륨, 메타중아황산나트륨 및 무수아황산은 주로 과실주 등 주류에, 아황산나트륨은 절임식품에 주로 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 보존료를 주용도로 하는 식품첨가물을 가공식품에 사용하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
