Abstract

In this study, the daily intake of preservatives in the Korean population was estimated, using data from national health and nutrition studies regarding the concentration of preservatives in each type of food, food intake by sex, age group, and weight. The level of safety of these preservatives was evaluated via comparisons with the acceptable daily intake (ADI) data established by the Joint FAO/WHO expert committee on food additives (JECFA). The Estimated daily intake (EDI) of sorbic acid is 495.85 ${\mu}g$/kg bw, benzoic acid is 215.34 ${\mu}g$/kg bw and parahydroxybenzoate is 5.01 ${\mu}g$/kg bw per day each. Their percentages in relation to ADI are 2, 4.3, and 0.1%, respectively. The comparatively high-consuming groups were taking sorbic acid 1,012.06 ${\mu}g$/kg bw, benzoic acid 229.56 ${\mu}g$/kg bw, and parahydroxybenzoate 11.58 ${\mu}g$/kg bw per day, and their intake levels as a percentage of ADI were 4.1, 4.6, 0.1%, all within safe levels. Males were found to have taken more benzoic acid than women, whereas we detected no sighificant differences in the intakes of sorbic acid and parahydroxybenzoate between males and females. The EDI of sorbic acid, benzoic acid, and parahydroxybenzoate were lower than the ADI in all age groups studied.

국내 사용빈도가 높은 소르빈산류, 안식향산류, 파라옥시안식향산에스터류의 일일추정섭취량을 평가하였다. 식품별 보존료 농도와 국민건강 영양조사의 성별, 연령별 식품섭취자료와 체중을 이용하여 일일추정섭취량을 산출하였고, 이를 JECFA에서 제시한 ADI와 비교 검토하여 안전성 여부를 평가하였다. 분석된 보존료의 일일추정섭취량은 소르빈산류 495.85 ${\mu}g$/kg bw/day, 안식향산류 215.34 ${\mu}g$/kg bw/day, 파라옥시안식향산에스터류 5.01 ${\mu}g$/kg bw/day로 산출되었으며, ADI 대비 각각 2, 4.3, 0.1%로 섭취 수준은 안전한 것으로 평가되었다. 상위섭취자(90th)의 일일추정 섭취량은 소르빈산류 1,012.06 ${\mu}g$/kg bw/day, 안식향산류 229.56 ${\mu}g$/kg bw/day, 파라옥시안식향산에스터류 11.58 ${\mu}g$/kg bw/day로 산출되었으며 ADI 대비 4.1, 4.6, 0.1%로 안전한 섭취수준으로 평가되었다. 성별에 따른 차이는 안식향산류의 경우 남자가 여자보다 많이 섭취하였으나 소르빈산류와 파라옥시안식향산에스터류는 성별에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 소르빈산류, 안식향산류, 파라옥시안식향산류의 일일추정섭취량은 모든 연령에서 안전한 섭취수준으로 평가되었다.
