Abstract

Analysis methods of artificial sweeteners, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sodium saccharin, and sucralose isolated from foods were developed using high performance liquid chromatography, HPLC conditions for aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sodium saccharin were: column, Symmetry $C_{18}(3.9mm\;i.d{\times}150mm,\;5{\mu}m)$; mobile phase, 0.05M sodium phosphate monobasic : acetonitrile (9 : 1, pH 3.5, containing 0.01M tetrapropylammonium hydroxide); detector, UV detector at 210 nm. HPLC condition for sucralose were : column, Symmetry $C_{18}(3.9mm\;i.d{\times}150mm,\;5{\mu}m)$; mobile phase, water:methanol (7 : 3); detector, refractive index detection (sensitivity = 16). Recoveries of artificial sweeteners in foods including soft drinks, fruit and vegetable beverages, alcoholic beverages, fermented milk beverages, soybean milk, ice cream, snacks, chewing gums, jam, honey, kimchi salted food, special dietary products, processed fish products, candies, food additive mixtures, chocolate and cocoa were 76.1-101.3%, 82.3-103.2%, 83.1-103.7%, and 80,6-99.5% for aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sodium saccharin, and sucralose, respectively.

본 연구는 인공감미료의 사용확대에 따른 실태 파악 및 실제 섭취량 조사를 통해 현행 사용기준의 안전수준에 대한 안전성을 확보하는 연구의 기초자료로서 우리나라에서 식품첨가물로 허용되어 있는 인공감미료인 삭카린나트륨, 아스파탐, 아세설팜칼륨 및 수크랄로스에 대한 식품 중 분석법을 확립하였으며 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 투석이나 정제과정 없이 보다 간편하고 짧은 시간에 효율적으로 시료를 전처리할 수 있는 방법을 시료의 성상에 따라 확립하였다. 고속액체크로마토그래프(HPLC)의 최적 분석조건을 검토한 결과, 삭카린나트륨, 아스파탐 및 아세설팜칼륨의 3종 인공감미료의 분석에 컬럼은 Symmetry $C_{18}(3.9mm\;i.d{\times}150mm,\;5{\mu}m)$, 이동상은 0.005M tetrapropylammonium hydroxide가 함유된 0.01M $KH_{2}PO_{4}$: acetonitrile(9:1, pH 3.5). 측정파장은 210mm로 설정하였다. 수크랄로스의 분석조건은 컬럼은 Symmetry $C_{18}(3.9mm\;i.d{\times}150mm,\;5{\mu}m)$, 이동상은 water: methanol(7:3)을 사용하였고 검출기는 굴절율 검출기(RI), sensitivity=16호 설정하였다. 검출한계는 삭카린나트륨, 아스파탐 및 아세설팜칼륨은 각각 0.1ppm, 수크랄로스는 25ppm으로 측정되었다. 이와 같이 결정된 인공감미료의 최적 분석조건으로 회수율을 측정한 결과 아스파탐 92.5%, 아세설팜칼륨 97.3%, 삭카린나트륨 96.5%, 수크랄로스 93.4%로 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 시중에서 유통되고 있는 제품 중 총 17종 151품목을 다상으로 4종의 인공감미료 함량을 정량한 결과, 아스파탐은 탄산음료 2품목에서 $180.8{\mu}g/g$, 발효음료 4품목에서 $65.3{\mu}g/g$, 껌 2품목에서 $232.5{\mu}g/g$, 사탕 1품목에서 $1,672.0{\mu}g/g$, 혼합제제식품첨가물 2품목에서 $5,259.0{\mu}g/g$이 검출되었으며 아세설팜칼륨은 탄산음료 2품목에서 $110.8{\mu}g/g$, 껌 3품목에서 $250.3{\mu}g/g$, 혼합제제식품첨가물 1품목에서 $2,362.1{\mu}g/g$, 삭카린나트륨은 어묵 1품목에서 $42.3{\mu}g/g$, 수크랄로스는 껌 1품목에서 $120.1{\mu}g/g$이 검출되었으며 검출된 인공감미료는 표시사항과 일치하였다.
