Effect of Nitrite, Thiocyanate and Ascorbic acid on N-nitrosamine Formation in Salted and Dried Yellow Corvenia under Simulated Gastric Digestion

염건조기의 인공소화시 Nitrite, Thiocyanate 및 Ascorbic acid가 N-nitrosamine의 생성에 미치는 영향

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of NA formation in the human body with salted and dried yellow corvenia(Gulbi, Pseudosciaena manchurica) steamed for 30 minutes and incubated in 10 ml simulated saliva and 40 ml gastric juice at 37。C for 2 hours. And the experiment studied the NA formation after nitrite, thiocyanate and ascorbic acid treatment under simulated gastric conditions. N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) was not detected when nitrite was not added to the digestate mixture. And then increasing the nitrite concentration from 0.5 mM to 8 mM gave a slight increase in the NDMA formation at all level of Gulbi utilized in the experiment. In contrast to the change of the nitrite concentration, the increase of the amount of Gulbi didn't show any marked influence on NDMA formation. At all level of thiocyanate(1∼6.4 mM) tested, concentration of NDMA was still proportional to the nitrite concentration. In the catalytic ability of thiocyanate at another high level of nitrite(100 mM) no catalytic activity was observed up to the level of 8mM thiocyanate. The same amounts of salted fish(10 g) and ascorbic acid levels in each single digestate were used to prevent NDMA formation. No prevention effect was observed at nitrite concentration of 0.5 mM and 1 mM. Most importantly, the decrease of NDMA concentration, by the increase of ascorbic acid absolutely, was remarkably shown when nitrite concentration was high. On the contrary, according to the degree of ascorbic acid, the higher the amount of nitrite the higher the prevention of NDMA formation.

우리나라 고유의 염건품인 굴비를 섭취하였을 때 체내에서 생성되는 NA를 예측하기 위해서 인공타액과 위액을 혼합하여 37。C에서 2시간동안 배양한 굴비의 인공소화물로부터 NA를 분석하였고, 동시에 nitrite, thiocyanate 및 ascorbic acid가 공존할 경우 NA생성에 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. 굴비시료에 인공타액과 위액을 가하여 소화시킨 인공소화물에서는 N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA)이 전혀 검출되지 않았으나, nitrite농도를 증가시킬수록 이에 비례하여 NDMA의 생성은 증가하였다. 굴비시료에 thiocyanate를 농도별(0∼6.4 mM)로 첨가하여 인공소화 시킨 결과 nitrite첨가량에 비례하여 NDMA 생성이 증가되었으나, 고농도의 nitrite(100 mM)를 함유한 시료에 thiocyanate를 8mM이상 첨가한 경우에는 뚜렷한 촉매효과를 나타내지 않았다. 반면에 10g의 굴비시료에 ascorbic acid를 농도별로 첨가한 인공 소화물에서 NDMA생성억제를 실험한 결과 nitrite농도가 0.5 및 1 mM인 경우에는 NDMA의 생성을 억제시키지 못하였으나 nitrite와 ascorbic acid의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 비례적으로 NDMA 생성억제도 뛰어났다.
