Abstract

This study sought to evaluate the daily intakes of sodium saccharin and sucralose for individuals in Korea with average and high levels of consumption of both these substances. The estimated daily intake of both sweeteners was determined from analytical data and dietary intake data collected as part of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey. Analysis of the data showed that sodium saccharin was found in 53 (15.6%) of 339 processed foods analyzed, whereas sucralose was found in 141 (23.9%) of 590 processed foods analyzed. The average intake of sodium saccharin was 1.18% of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) defined by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert committee on Food Additives (JECFA). The average intake of sucralose was 0.55% of ADI. The 95th percentile intakes of sodium saccharin and sucralose were 5.29% and 15.66% of ADI, respectively. Children 6 years old and younger consumed more sodium saccharin and sucralose than did children from any of the other age groups tested. In conclusion, the average daily intakes of sodium saccharin and sucralose within members of the Korean population fall within safe levels.

식품 중에 함유되어 있는 삭카린나트륨(sodium saccharin)과 수크랄로스(sucralose)의 섭취 안전성을 평가하고자, 삭카린나트륨 함유식품 339 품목, 수크랄로스 함유식품 590 품목을 서울, 경기, 충청, 경상지역에서 구입한 후 HPLC-UVD와 HPLC-ELSD로 각각 분석하여 그 함량을 모니터링 하고, 국민건강 영양조사 식이섭취량 자료를 이용하여 삭카린나트륨과 수크랄로스의 국민평균 섭취량, 연령별 섭취량, 상위 $95^{th}$ percentile 섭취량을 추정하였다. 삭카린나트륨은 절임류와 음료류에서 주로 검출되어 이 두 품목의 검출율이 총 검출율의 85%를 차지하였으며, 가장 많이 함유되어 있는 품목은 159.40 ppm이 검출된 절임류 이었다. 수크랄로스는 23.9%의 검출율을 나타내었으며, 껌류, 유제품, 음료의 검출율이 전체 검출율의 66.0%를 차지하였다. 수크랄로스의 평균 함량이 가장 높은 식품 유형은 과자류로서 320.5 ppm이 검출되었다. 삭카린나트륨의 국민평균 섭취량은 $59.02{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw/day$로 나타나 ADI 대비 1.18% 수준이었고, 기여식품은 김치(39.8%), 절임류(27.8%), 과실채소음료(15.7%), 탄산음료(11.7%)로서, 이 네 품목의 섭취량이 전체 삭카린나트륨 섭취량의 95.0%를 차지하였다. 연령별로는 6세 이하의 어린이가 체중 당 삭카린나트륨 섭취량이 가장 높은 것으로 나타나, 1-2세는 ADI 대비 1.90%, 3-6세는 ADI 대비 1.79%이었고, 상위 $95^{th}$ percentile 섭취자의 섭취량은 264.37 ${\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw/day$, ADI 대비 5.29%로 나타나 매우 안전한 수준이었다. 식품을 통한 수크랄로스의 국민 평균 섭취량은 83.22 ${\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw/day$ (ADI의 0.55%)로 나타났고, 기여하는 식품은 유제품, 음료류, 아이스크림, 탁주 등이었다. 연령별로는 6세 이하 어린이들의 체중 당 수크랄로스 섭취량이 가장 높아, 1-2세는 ADI의 2.18%, 3-6세는 ADI의 1.76% 수준이었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 우리나라 국민이 식품을 통해 섭취하는 삭카린나트륨, 수크랄로스의 국민평균 섭취량, 연령별섭취량, 상위섭취자($95^{th}$ percentile 섭취자)의 섭취량 모두 JECFA가 설정한 ADI의 16% 이하로 매우 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
