육제품의 아질산이온 잔류량 저감화와 육제품 섭취의 안전성 확보 방안 연구의 일환으로 국내산 육제품의 저장 중 아질산이온 잔류량의 변화와 함께 TBARS 함량과 색도를 살펴본 결과 비엔나소시지, 베이컨, 스모크햄, 냉동육제품 등 4종류의 육제품 모두 아질산이온 잔류량이 국내 규제 허용량 70ppm 보다 매우 낮은 값을 보였으며, 저장기간이 길어질수록 잔류량은 더욱 감소하였다. 감소폭은 저장 온도와 제품의 종류에 따라 차이가 있어 $4^{\circ}C$에서 냉장 저장할 경우는 비엔나소시지에서 아질산이온 잔류량의 감소폭이 가장 컸고 베이컨에서 가장 작았다. 반면 $-20^{\circ}C$에서 냉동 저장한 경우에는 베이컨에서 아질산이온 잔류량 감소폭이 가장 컸고 냉동육제품에서 가장 작았다. 또한 저장 온도에 따른 각 제품의 아질산이온 잔류량 감소 속도를 보면 비엔나소시지, 스모크햄 및 냉동육제품은 $4^{\circ}C$에 저장할 때가 $-20^{\circ}C$에 저장할 때보다 더 빠른 속도로 아질산이온 함량이 감소하였다. 반면, 베이컨의 경우는 $-20^{\circ}C$에 저장할 때가 $4^{\circ}C$에 저장할 때보다 더 빨리 아질산이온 함량이 감소하였다. 이러한 결과들은 육제품의 제조 후 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 잔존 아질산이온이 감소하고 저장 온도에 따라 영향을 받는 것을 보여준다. 또한 국내산 육제품의 아질산이온 함량은 대부분 법적기준보다 매우 낮은 수준이며 우리나라의 경우 육제품 섭취에 의한 아질산염의 위해는 현 시점에서 크게 우려할 바는 아니라고 사료되나 앞으로 아질산이온 잔류량을 감소시키기 위한 연구가 지속적으로 수행되어야 하고 더불어 아질산염의 대체물질을 개발하는데 많은 연구력과 재원이 투자되어야 할 것이다.

Nitrite, a curing agent of meat products, is precursors of carcinogenic N-nitrosamines during processing of meat products or under human stomach conditions as well as having its own toxicity. Some researches have been conducted to evaluate the effects of ionizing radiation on the reduction of residual nitrite and N-nitrosamines in an aqueous model system and cured meat products with different packaging methods during storage. These results showed that the gamma irradiation was effective in reducing the residual nitrite and N-nitrosamines in an aqueous model system as well as meat products. Especially, irradiation combined with vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging was more effective in nitrite and N-nitrosamines reduction than aerobic packaging during storage. The objective of this review is to introduce the irradiation technology for the application of reducing the residual nitrite and N-nitrosamine contents in meat products.

The acute toxicity and sublethal effects of nitrite on the dark-banded rockfish, Sebastes inermis (mean body weight: $83.3{\pm}7.2$ g), were studied under static conditions for a period of 96 h. The acute toxicity of nitrite was at the 50% lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) of 700 mg/L. The sublethal effects on selected hematological parameters of the dark-banded rockfish, such as its osmolality, hematocrit, cortisol, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), were measured after 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h of exposure to 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, or 700 mg/L nitrite. Sublethal nitrite caused a progressive reduction in the hematocrit of the fish, depending on the nitrite concentration and the exposure period. Exposure to 100-700 mg/L nitrite for 96 h caused a reduction in the hematocrit and an increase in cortisol, ALT, and AST compared with the control levels. Abnormal ultrastructural changes in the gills and liver tissues were observed in fish exposed to 700 mg/L nitrite for up to 96 h compared with the control tissues. Ultrastructural changes included atrophic gill mitochondria and hepatocytes that developed smooth endoplasmic reticulum and atrophic mitochondria. Although no rockfish mortality occurred at 500 mg/L nitrite, all the hematological parameters examined responded adversely to a nitrite dose of 200 mg/L for 96 h. These results show that although the acute toxic concentration of nitrite for the dark-banded rockfish is > 700 mg/L, sublethal concentrations of nitrite also negatively affect its hematological parameters.

In order to determine the potential for reduction of nitrite levels and ripening period with heat treatment, the effects of ripening period (1-13 days), nitrite level (45-195 ppm), and heat treatment (30-$90^{\circ}C$) on lipolysis, peroxide, TBA, proteolysis, and residual nitrite values of sucuk were investigated using response surface methodology. The ripening period significantly (p<0.01) increased lipolysis, peroxide, TBA, and proteolysis values and decreased residual nitrite values. The effects of additional nitrite levels were found to significantly affect peroxide and residual nitrite values. Significant amounts of the additional nitrite levels were reduced during processing and on the first day of ripening periods.

It has been assumed that nitrite, one of the precursor of N-nitrosamine, in human saliva must have been formed from salivary nitrate through the action of microorganism in the oral cavity. In this paper, we have tested the concentration of nitrite and nitrate in human saliva and the degrees of nitrate reduction by oral microflora and identified some bacteria which were able to reduce nitrate. The concentration of nitrite and nitrate was 1.7~9.5ppm and 9.0~28.5ppm respectively. The numbers of total bacteria and nitrate reducing bacteria in four korean human saliva sample were 15~63${\times}10^8$ CFU and 1.0~6.0${\times}10^8$ CFU and the main nitrate reducing bacteria were Streptococcus uberis which was presented in large quantities and showed remarkable reductive activity. Lastly, we knowed that N-dimethylnitrosamine was formed by the reaction between dimethylamine and nitrite in the presence of St. uberis in vitro.

The protective of influences of sodium selenitc ($Na_2SeO_3$) against the methemoglobinemia with sodium nitrite were investigated on hemoglobin, methemoglobin, glutathione peroxidase and NADH-methemoglobin reductase activity in rabbits which were given 0,1,3 and 9ppm sodium selenite of drinking water for a week. Dietary selenium did not alter total hemoglobin in the blood of rabbits. Selenium was found to decrease nitrite-induced methemoglobin in a dose-dependent manner. The glutathione peroxidase activity was also increased by selenium in all the experimental groups. However, the NADH-methemoglobin reductase activity by selenite did not show significant differences as concerns the methemoglobinemia. These results showed that selenium could inhibit nitrite-induced methemoglobinemia. Its influence of inhibition is suggested that the effect of the reduction of methemoglobin was greatly stimulated by glutathione peroxidase activity.

소시지 제조시 미생물을 제어함과 동시에 잔류 아질산염함량을 감소시키기 위하여 감마선을 이용하였다. 제조된 소시지는 함기, 진공, 그리고 $CO_2$(100%) 포장하여 감마선을 0, 5, 10 kGy로 조사한 후 4주 동안 냉장저장$(4^{\circ}C)$하면서 총균수, 대장균군수, 그리고 잔류 아질산염 함량을 조사하였다. 감마선 조사시 총균수와 대장균군의 수를 유의적으로 감소시켰으며 비조사구에서는 진공과 $CO_2$, 포장이 함기포장보다 미생물 생육제어에 효과적이었으며, 잔류 아질산염의 함량은 감마선 조사에 의해 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 또한 $CO_2$ 포장구가 잔류 아질산염 함량 감소효과에 가장 뛰어난 결과를 얻어 감마선과 $CO_2$ 포장을 병용처리한다면 소시지 제조시 미생물 제어 및 잔류 아질산염의 함량을 효과적으로 감소시켜 소비자에게 더욱 안전한 식품을 공급하게 될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

The bioelectrochemical reduction of nitrate in the presence of various mediators including methyl viologen and azure A was studied using a 3-electrode voltammetric system. The catalytic potential for the reduction of the mediators was observed in the reactor, which for methyl viologen and azure A were -0.74 V and -0.32 V, respectively, with respect to the potential of Ag/AgCl reference electrode. This potential was then applied to a working electrode to reduce each mediator for enzymatic nitrate reduction. Nitrite, the product of the reaction, was measured to observe the enzymatic nitrate reduction in the reaction media. Methyl viologen was observed as the most efficient mediator among those tested, while azure A showed the highest electron efficiency at the intrinsic reduction potential when the mediated enzyme reactions were carried out with the freely solubilized mediator. The electron transfer of azure A with respect to time was due to the adhesion of azure A to the hydrophilic surface during the reduction. In addition, the use of the adsorbed mediator on conductive activated carbon was proposed to inhibit the change in the electron transfer rate during the reaction by maintaining a constant mediator concentration and active surface area of the electrode. Azure A showed better than nitrite formation than methyl viologen when used with activated carbon.
