Abstract

Changes in nitrite content, TBARS content and color of meat products during storage were examined as part of studies addressing the reduction of residual nitrite and to ensure the safety of meat products. All 4 kinds of domestic meat product tested, Vienna sausage, bacon, smoked-ham and Dduggalbi, manufactured by C and L domestic companies had very low contents of residual nitrite, for below the legal tolerance limit of 70 ppm, and the residual nitrite decreased with storage. The reduction in nitrite content differed with each product, showing the greatest reduction in Vienna sausage and the least reduction in bacon when stored at $4^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, when stored at $-20^{\circ}C$, the nitrite content of bacon decreased more rapidly than the other meat products. The results of this study show that the nitrite content of meat products decreases during storage, and that the rate of decrease is quite dependent on the storage temperature. In addition, the nitrite contents of most domestic meat products are very low compared to the legal limits, thus the health risks of nitrite in meat products might not be of great concern. More research on the reduction of residual nitrite and on the development of alternatives to nitrite is necessary.

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.
