Abstract

In order to provide basic data for preparing management standards and to verify the safety of the Chinese oak mushroom-derived moisturizing medium-which is synthesized and imported in large quantities-the presence of 321 residual pesticides, 7 heavy metals, and 3 radioactive materials was analyzed in the moisturizer samples. Examination of residual pesticides in seven moisturizing medium samples prepared using the Chinese oak mushroom and three domestic sawdust samples used for mushroom culture revealed the presence of cypermethrin and iprodione in three moisturizer samples, but the contents of these pesticides were below the standard limits. Zn was detected in ten samples, Cu was detected in nine samples, and Ni was detected in four samples, but their contents were below the standard limits. Pb, Cd, Cr, and Hg were not detected in any sample. No radioactive materials were detected in the samples. In addition, fruiting bodies of the oak mushroom were observed in each medium. Examination did not reveal the presence of any residual pesticides or harmful compounds. In this study, the use of the moisturizing medium prepared using the Chinese oak mushroom was found to be safe. As residual pesticides, heavy metals, and radioactivity-even in trace amounts-remain concentrated in the human body, continuous verification of the safety of hazardous substances and pollutants during the systematic cultivation and management of these mushrooms is required.

중국산 표고 보습배지에 대한 안전성을 검증하고 관리기준 마련의 기초자료를 제공하고자 잔류농약 321종, 중금속 7종, 방사능 3종을 분석하였다. 중국산 표고 보습배지 7건과 국내산 톱밥배지 3건에 대한 잔류농약을 검사한 결과 중국산 보습배지 3건에서 cypermethrin, iprodione이 검출되었으나 모두 기준치 이하로 나타났다. 중금속의 검사 결과에서는 Zn은 10건의 모든 시료에서 검출되었고 Cu는 9건, Ni은 4건에서 검출되었다. Pb과 Cd, Cr, Hg은 모든 시료에서 검출되지 않았다. 방사능 검사 결과는 모든 시료에서 불검출되었다. 또한 각각의 배지에서 표고 자실체를 발생시켜 잔류농약과 방사능을 검사한 결과에서는 모두 불검출되어 유해물질이 이행되지 않았다. 이번 연구에서 중국산 표고 보습배지에 대한 잔류농약, 중금속, 방사능의 위해성은 안전하게 나타났지만, 화학물질은 미량이라 할지라도 인체 내에 계속 농축되기 때문에 유해물질의 안전성에 대한 지속적인 검증과 오염원에 대한 체계적인 재배관리가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
