Abstract

The Na, component of salt, can increase the risk of high blood pressure and hypertension. Especially, children are exposed to an increased risk of high sodium intake, because they often consume Na-rich processed foods and commercially prepared foods in the street. However, the database for the sodium and chloride content for these children's favorite foods is insufficient. In this study, the Na and Cl contents in 89 children's favorite foods were analyzed by using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) method. The analyzed food items were presented after being classified into 33 kinds of food groups. The Na contents in 100 g children's favorite foods ranged from 0.3 mg to 35.1mg in fruits, 28.9mg to 82.5mg in milks, 127.2 mg to 602.2 mg in breads, cakes, sandwiches, and rice cakes, 2.5 mg to 1169.9 mg in candies, cookies and ice creams, 226.9 mg to 693.7 mg in commercially prepared street foods, and 103.4 mg to 875.8 mg in fast foods of westernized restaurant. Among children's favorite food groups, 100 g fried chicken, hotdog, burgers, and donuts contained an average Na of 536 mg, 553 mg, 794 mg, and 562.2 mg, respectively, so they are classified as 'high Na foods'. In contrast, 100 g fruits and dairy products contained Na an average 4.9 mg and 43.4 mg, respectively, being classified as 'low Na foods'. One serving of ramen, mandu noodle, and burger pizza can supply over 667mg Na, which is one third of the KDRI targeted intake. Likewise, the Cl contents in children's favorite foods were diverse according to food groups. The Cl contents in the analyzed foods differed from the 1.5 times of Na content, which is assumed in general. This study showed that the Na and Cl contents in children's favorite foods are very diverse. Conclusively, a strategy to reduce Na contents in the fast foods such as noodles and westernized restaurant foods is necessary for children health.

본 연구는 어린이들이 선호하는 패스트푸드, 학교근처 길거리 즉석조리음식, 과자 등 가공식품, 그리고 집에서 먹는 과일류와 우유류 등 총 89종 식품의 나트륨과 염소 함량을 중성자 방사화 분석법으로 분석하여 33개의 식품 종으로 분류하여 제시하였다. 어린이 선호 간식 100 g 당 나트륨 함량은 과일은 0.3~35.1 mg, 우유류는 28.9~82.5 mg의 분포를 보였고, 빵, 케이크, 떡류는 127.2~602.2 mg. 캔디류, 쿠키류, 아이스크림류는 2.5~1169.9 mg의 분포를 보였다. 거리의 즉석조리음식과 서양식 패스트푸드 100 g은 각각 226.9~693.7 mg과 103.4~875.8 mg의 분포를 보였다. 어린이 선호 간식 중 튀긴치킨, 핫도그, 버거류, 도넛은 식품 100 g당 평균 Na 함량은 536 mg, 553 mg, 794 mg, 562.2 mg으로 '고 Na 식품'인 반면에, 과일, 우유류, 캔디류, 초코렛의 Na 함량은 4.9~82.5 mg의 분포를 보여 '저 Na 식품' 임을 보였고, 그 이외 스낵, 빵, 케이크, 떡, 김밥 등의 식품 100 g당 평균 Na함량은 175.2~496.9 mg을 보여 '중 Na 식품' 임을 보였다. 그리고 라면, 만두 및 누들, 버거류 및 피자 1회 분량을 통해서 667 mg 이상의 나트륨을 섭취하여 Na 1일 목표섭취량의 1/3이상을 상회하여 섭취하게 되며, 특히 라면 1회 분량을 통해 Na 목표섭취량의 2/3를 섭취할 수 있어 Na 저감화가 필요함을 보였다. 어린이 식품의 Cl 함량은 식품에 따라 차이를 보이지만, 식빵, 쿠키, 칩류, 버거류의 경우 모두 750 mg 보다 높았다. 본 연구 자료는 어린이 Na 섭취량 감소를 위한 영양교육이나 농촌진흥청에서 8차 개정 식품성분표 구축을 위한 자료로 사용할 수 있다.
