Abstract

Choline is important for normal membrane function, acetylcholine synthesis and methyl group metabolism. In this study, 185 food items customarily eaten by Koreans were selected from the data of the 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey and analyzed on the total choline content of the foods using enzymatic method of choline oxidase. Foods with high choline concentration (mg/100 g) were listed in sequence of quail egg (476.04 mg), dried squid (452.42 mg), beef liver (427.16 mg), pork liver (424.92 mg), tuna canned in oil (414.44 mg), boiled and dried anchovy (381.30 mg), dried Alaskan pollack (378.88 mg), chicken egg (309.88 mg), chicken liver (259.38 mg), soybean (238.62 mg), French bread with garlic (193.18 mg) and barley (183.73 mg). From this result, it is shown that dried fishes, prepared fishes, livers, eggs, pulses and cereals might be categorized as high choline food. Citron tea and green tea showed low choline content below 1 mg. Vegetables and fruits were also categorized into low choline food. No choline was detected in red pepper powder, beer, soju, soybean oil and corn oil out of foods analyzed in this study. Further study is required for analytic procedure of the foods of which results are inconsistent with USDA's data such as rice and wheat flour.

본 연구는 한국인 상용 식품의 콜린 함량을 분석하기 위하여 2001년도 국민건강영양조사의 다소비 식품과 다빈도 식품 185종에 대하여 choline oxidase 효소법을 사용하여 식품의 총 콜린함량을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 식품 100 g당 총 콜린 함량이 높은 식품은 메추리알 476.04mg, 마른 오징어가 452.42 mg, 소고기간 427.16 mg, 돼지고기간 424.92 mg, 참치통조림 414.44 mg, 멸치 381.30mg, 북어 378.88 mg, 달걀 309.88 mg, 닭고기간 259.38mg, 대두 238.62 mg로 건조어류, 동물의 간, 난류와 두류가 고콜린 식품으로 분류될 수 있겠고, 그 뒤를 이어 마늘빵이 193.18 mg, 쌀보리가 182.73 mg으로 곡류도 상당한 콜린 급원식품인 것으로 나타났다. 채소류와 과일류에서 낮은 콜린 함량을 보였으며, 또한 유자차, 녹차에서도 1 mg 이하의 낮은 콜린 함량을 보였다. 고춧가루, 맥주, 소주, 콩기름, 옥수수 기름 등에서는 콜린이 검출되지 않았다. 채소류, 과일류, 조미료류와 식물성 유지류가 저 콜린식품임을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 볼 때 건조어류, 어류 가공품과 간, 난류, 두류, 곡류가 고콜린군 식품이며, 식물성 식품에서는 두류와 곡류 및 그 제품이, 동물성 식품에서는 어패류, 난류, 육류가 콜린의 주요 급원식품임을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로 Zeisel의 결과에 비해 크게 상이한 결과를 보인 쌀이나 밀가 루 등 일부 식품에 대한 보다 정확한 분석절차에 대한 연구가 뒤따라야 하리라고 본다.
