Abstract

This study monitored the caffeine content of ready-to-drink coffee and verified the appropriateness of the labeling. The caffeine content was analyzed using HPLC. The average caffeine content of cold brew coffee was 0.31-1.04 mg/mL, with an average of 0.55 mg/mL. The average content of product was 147.27 mg/bottle, and taking into account the recommended daily intake, an adult can consume 2.7 bottles. Americano coffee was 0.15-0.38 mg/mL, with an average of 0.28 mg/mL. The average content of product was 110.42 mg/bottle, and considering the recommended daily intake, an adult can consume 3.6 bottles. The caffeine content of decaffeinated cold brew coffee was 5.14 mg/bottle and compared to Americano coffee, more than 95% of the caffeine was removed. In addition, we verified the tolerance level of the total caffeine content in ready-to-drink coffee, and none of them exceeded 120%, signifying that all commercial products were effectively managed.

본 연구에서는 대형마트, 편의점 및 온라인 마켓에서 수집한 조제커피 제품의 카페인 함량을 모니터링하고 표시사항의 적합성을 검토하고자 하였다. 카페인의 함량은 HPLC을 사용하여 정량 분석하였다. 그 결과, 콜드브루 제품의 카페인 함량은 0.31-1.04 mg이었으며 평균 0.55 mg으로 나타났다. 제품 1개당 평균 함량은 147.27 mg/bottle로 나타나, 일일 권장섭취량을 감안하였을 때 성인 1인당 2.7병을 섭취할 수 있다. 아메리카노 제품의 카페인 함량은 0.15-0.38 mg이었으며 평균 함량은 0.28 mg 수준으로 나타났다. 제품 1개당 평균 함량은 110.42 mg/bottle로 나타나, 일일 권장섭취량을 감안하였을 때 성인 1인당 3.6병을 섭취할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 디카페인 콜드브루 제품의 카페인 평균 함량은 5.14 mg/bottle로 나타났으며 일반 아메리카노 제품에 비해 약 95%이상 카페인이 제거되어 식품의약품안전처에서 제시한 디카페인 제품 기준에 충족하였다. 또한, 총 카페인 함량의 허용오차인 120%를 초과하지 않아 관리가 잘 이루어지고 있음을 확인하였다.
