Investigation on Harmful Trace Elements in Some Food Additives

식품첨가물중(食品添加物中) 유해미량금속(有害微量金屬) 함량(含量)에 관(關)하여

In order to investigate harmful trace elements in ford additives used in food processing the contents of Copper, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Manganese, Nickel and Iron are determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. These Elements are Extracted with APDC-MIBK extract method. Samples are collected from the food Industrial companies in Korea. Samples studied as shown in Table 1 are food colors(3-samples, Flavoring Agents(7-samples), Acidifiers(4-samples) Baking Powders(4-samples), Emulsifiers(2-samples), Thickeners(2-samples), Antioxidants(2-samples), Intensifiers(2-samples), Seasonings(3-samples), modifiers (10-samples) Most of the food additives contained comparatively a little small amount of harmful trace elements. However, the contents of harmful trace elements of Sodium Carbonate, Food Yellow No.5, Food Blue No.1, Food Red No.2 and Alkalies added in noodles are significantly higher than the other food additives. The obtained results are as follows ; 1) Sodium Carbonate contained Cadmium; 16.73 ug/g and Lead ; 61.55 ug/g. 2) Food Yellow No. 5 contained Cadmium: 1.67ug/g and Lead; 23.46 ug/g. 3) Food Blue No. 1 contained Cadmium; 1. 16 ug/g and Lead; 23.46 ug/g. 4) Food Red Ho. 1 contained Cadmium; 1.91 ug/g and Lead 23.08 ug./g. 5) Alkalies added in noodles contained Cadmium; 6. 11 ug/g and Lead; 53.85 ug/g.
