Abstract
본 연구에서는 GC-FID를 이용하여 식품첨가물공전에 사용량이 정해져 있는 빵류, 캡슐류, 건조과실류 채소류 및 과실류 채소류 중 유동파라핀의 함량을 측정하였다. 시료에서 n-hexane으로 유동파라핀을 추출하고 <TEX>$KMnO_4$</TEX> 산화반응을 통해 추출물 중 불포화탄화수소의 극성을 증대시킨 다음 aluminium oxide를 충진한 SPE 카트리지로 정제하여 GC-FID로 측정하였다. 검출한계와 정량한계는 각각 10 mg/kg과 20 mg/kg으로 개별 n-alkane으로 정량하는 방법이 아닌 넓은 봉우리로 나타나는 유동파라핀의 면적의 합으로 정량하는 문헌들(15,17)의 값과 유사하게 나타났다. 유동파라핀은 빵류, 건조과실류 채소류 및 캡슐류에서 이형제 등으로 사용되고 있으나 최종 완제품에서 사용기준 이하로 검출되었고, 과실류 채소류에서 모두 불검출로 나타남에 따라 안전한 수준으로 관리되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. Liquid paraffin is a mixture of heavier alkanes derived from petroleum. It can be used as a lubricant in processing machinery, as a coating agent, or as a releasing agent. The purpose of this study was to analyze liquid paraffins in foods by using a gas chromatography-flame ionized detector (GC-FID). Liquid paraffin was extracted from the food samples using n-hexane. Non-polar aromatic or olefinic co-extractives were removed by alkaline permanganate oxidation followed by clean up on an aluminium oxide SPE cartridge before the GC-FID analysis. The results of recovery tests were 91.5-103.2%. Based on this optimized method, we investigated the amount of liquid paraffin in various food samples purchased from domestic markets. The levels of liquid paraffin in bread were <TEX>$95.5{\pm}156.0$</TEX> mg/kg (0.008%), those in capsules were <TEX>$40.2{\pm}54.5$</TEX> mg/kg (0.001%), and those in dried fruits and vegetables were <TEX>$3.0{\pm}18.1$</TEX> mg/kg (0.0001%). No liquid paraffin was detected in fresh fruits and vegetables. We propose that our method can be used to monitor and detect liquid paraffin in foods for food safety management.
