Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure the sodium content of the solid and liquid components of soup-based dishes (SBD) including Korean soup, stew, noodle/dumplings, and watery kimchi and to compare the sodium content in the dishes from home, schools, and restaurants in Seoul. Methods: The dishes were divided into 3 groups, namely home, restaurant and school food. We separated the dishes into solid and liquid to measure the weight, salinity, and sodium content. The sodium content of the dishes was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Results: The proportion of sodium content in the liquid component of SBD were 65.2%-66.7% in soup, 49.8%-61.2% in stew, 48.7%-56.7% in noodle/dumpling, and 43.7%-73.2% in watery kimchi. The sodium content per 100 g of the whole dishes of the same kind from the schools was significantly lower than that from the restaurants and home. However, there was no significant difference in sodium content per 100 g of whole dishes between the restaurants and home. The sodium content per 100 g of liquid in the same kind of dishes from the schools was significantly lower than those from the restaurants and home, and that from home was significantly lower than from the restaurants. Conclusion: The sodium content of the liquid in SBD accounted for at least about half of the total sodium content of the whole dishes. It is important to establish a separate database with the sodium content in the solid and liquid portions of SBD and to evaluate how much liquid and/or solid would be consumed to estimate individual sodium intake more accurately. Also, it should be noted that the sodium content varies with the origin of the dishes, whether dishes were from home, restaurants, or schools.

본 연구에서는 서울시내 일부 가정식, 외식, 학교급식에서 국물음식을 수집하여 건더기와 국물 각각의 나트륨 함량을 분석하고 제공 환경에 따른 나트륨 함량을 비교하였다. 가정식, 외식, 학교급식에서 건더기와 국물이 1인 분량에서 차지하는 나트륨 함량은 국 및 탕류와 물김치류에서는 국물이 더 높은 비율을 차지하였으며, 찌개류와 면 및 만두류에서는 국물과 건더기가 비교적 유사한 비율을 보이고 있었다. 특히 1인 분량 내에서 국물이 차지하는 나트륨 함량은 최소 43.7%에서 최대 73.2%까지 높았으며, 이를 바탕으로 국물을 적게 섭취하는 것만으로도 상당량의 나트륨 섭취를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 100 g 당 나트륨 함량은 전식품에서 가정식과 외식이 학교급식보다 각각 유의하게 높았으며, 건더기에서는 외식이 가정식보다 유의하게 높았고, 국물에서는 가정식과 외식이 학교급식보다 각각 유의하게 높고 외식이 가정식보다 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 볼 때, 동일한 종류의 음식이라 할지라도 가정식, 학교급식, 외식에 따라 나트륨 함량의 차이를 보이며 가정식과 학교급식, 가정식과 외식, 학교급식과 외식 간의 동일한 종류의 음식에서 나트륨 함량의 차이가 있어, 건더기 및 국물의 섭취 정도에 따라 실제 섭취하는 나트륨 양이 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 보다 정확한 나트륨 섭취량 추정을 위하여 음식이 제공되는 환경 및 섭취 방식에 따라 구분된 데이터베이스를 적용해야 할 것이며, 향후 관련 대규모 연구를 통해 대표성을 가진 데이터베이스의 확충이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
