Abstract

The effect of fat content, thickness, and storage temperature and period of fresh meat samples on the migration of di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate(DEHA) from plasticized PVC film was investigated. Pork samples were prepared to have different fat contents by mixing with pork loin and pork backfat and stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 2 d. The migration values of DEHA into the pork samples were increased with a high fat content. There was a gradual increase in the DEHA concentration as a function of prolonged exposure period and elevated storage temperature when the pork samples were stored at -2, 5 and l0$^{\circ}C$ for up to 7 d, respectively. The migration of DEHA into fresh pork and beef was limited only to a small depth under the meat surface($\leq$2 cm). The migration value was higher when the pork belly was wrapped double with plasticized PVC film compared to once after storage at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 3 d. However, when the samples was minced and repacked with new film after 2 d, and kept for a further 1 d, these showed lower migration value compared to the above two intact samples. Migration values exceeded in most cases the upper limit for DEHA migration proposed by the EU(18 mg/kg or 3 mg/d㎡), even though no limitation is currently set in Korea.

돼지고기와 쇠고기를 다양한 조건으로 PVC 랩 필름으로 포장하고 저장하였을 때 시료로 이행된 DEHA 가소제의 양을 조사하였다. 돼지고기 등심과 등지방을 조합하여 지방 함량을 5.9, 13.9와 29.6%로 각각 만들어 랩 포장하고 5$^{\circ}C$에서 2일간 저장한 결과 지방함량이 높을수록 이행량은 증가되는 경향을 보였다. 돼지고기를 -2, 5와 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 각각 저장하였을 때 저장 기간이 연장되고 저장 온도가 상승할수록 이행량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 랩 포장된 돼지고기와 쇠고기 시료육에서 필름과 접촉된 표면으로부터 멀어질수록 이행량은 낮게 나타났으며 2 cm 이상의 깊이에서는 DEHA가 검출되지 않았다. 돼지고기 삼겹살을 랩 포장 후 5$^{\circ}C$에서 3일간 저장하였을 때 한 겹보다는 두 겹으로 포장 시 이행량이 높게 나타났다. 한편 2일 후 분쇄한 다음 새로 랩 포장하여 하루 더 저장하였던 시료에서는 앞의 두 시료들에서보다 이행량이 더 낮게 나타났다. 국내에는 DEHA 이행량에 대한 기준이 없지만 유럽연합의 기준치인 3 mg/d$m^2$ 또는 18 mg/kg에 근거하면 조사된 대부분의 시료들에서 이 기준치를 초과한 것으로 나타났다.
