Abstract

메타분석이라는 통계적 기법을 이용하여 일상생활에서 많이 사용되는 식품가공처리 (수돗물 세척, 껍질제거, 데치기 및 오븐건조)에 의한 농산물 중 농약 잔류량의 변화를 관찰한 기존의 문헌들이 제공하는 데이터들을 통계적으로 통합하고 정량화하는 작업을 수행하였다. 각 식품가공처리법의 가중평균 response ratio (<TEX>$R^*$</TEX>)를 살펴보면 껍질제거는 0.140, 데치기는 0.344, 오븐건조는 0.462 및 수돗물 세척은 0.522이었으며 껍질제거에 의해 농산물 중 잔류농약이 최대로 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 수돗물 세척에 의한 12종 농약성분의 옥탄올물분배계수와 가중평균 response ratio (<TEX>$R^*$</TEX>)와의 상관분석을 실시한 결과, 피어슨상관계수는 r=0.624 (p=0.03)로서 양의 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 보다 정확한 위해성 평가를 위한 가공계수를 산출하는데 참고자료로 활용될 수 있으며 또한 잔류농약과 식품안전성에 대한 소비자의 이해를 돕는 자료로도 활용될 수 있을 것이다. A trial of combining and quantifying the effects of food processing on various pesticides was carried out using a meta-analysis. In this study, weighted mean response ratios and confidence intervals about the reduction of pesticide residue levels in fruits and vegetables treated with various food processing techniques were calculated using a statistical tool of meta-analysis. The weighted mean response ratios for tap water washing, peeling, blanching (boiling) and oven drying were 0.52, 0.14, 0.34 and 0.46, respectively. Among the food processing methods, peeling showed the greatest effect on the reduction of pesticide residues. Pearsons's correlation coefficient (r=0.624) between weighted mean response ratios and octanolwater partition coefficients (<TEX>$logP_{ow}$</TEX>) for twelve pesticides processed with tap water washing was confirmed as having a positive correlation in the range of significance level of 0.05 (p=0.03). This means that a pesticide having the higher value of <TEX>$logP_{ow}$</TEX> was observed as showing a higher weighted mean response ratio. These results could be used effectively as a reference data for processing factor in risk assessment and as an information for consumers on how to reduce pesticide residues in agricultural products.
