Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate an analytical method for ethyl carbamate (EC) in Maesilju. For accurate analysis of EC in Maesilju, an internal standard (d5-EC) and neutralization (pH=7) were performed. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 3.65 ppb while the recovery rate ranged from 92.54% to 103.59%. Intra- and inter-day precision ranged from 0.87% to 1.99% and 2.67% to 5.64%, respectively. Maesilju samples comprised 10 homemade and five commercial ones. Samples contained EC at levels between 118.48 and 2,640.42 ppb. The average content of homemade Maesilju was higher than those of commercial ones. Based on manufacturers' labeling of commercial samples and information on homemade samples, various factors such as ingredients and soaking time of Maesil affected EC level in Maesilju. EC contents showed a positive correlation with age of Maesilju.

에틸카바메이트의 내부표준물질로 $d_5$-에틸카바메이트가 선정되었다. 에틸카바메이트의 일내(intra-day), 일간(inter-day) 정밀도를 측정한 결과, 회수율은 92.54~103.59%, 상대표준편차는 0.87~5.64%로 CODEX 기준에 부합하였다. 검출한계와 정량한계는 각각 1.20 ppb와 3.65 ppb였으며, 검량선은 직선성(R2=0.9992)을 나타내었다. 상업용 매실주보다는 가정에서 담근 매실주에서 검출된 에틸카바메이트의 함량이 비교적 높게 나타났다. 또한, 매실주의 숙성기간은 에틸카바메이트 농도와 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 즉, 매실의 침지기간과 매실이 분리된 후 숙성기간이 매실주의 에틸카바메이트 함량에 영향을 미친다는 것을 나타낸다.
