Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of acrylamide in various processed foods, some of which were chosen because they were known to contain an excessive amount of acrylamide. A total of 190 food products based on steamed rice, cereals, and potato chips were purchased from retail markets and analyzed with the LC-MS/MS method. Acrylamide was found to be widely distributed in all of the foods. The fried Potato chips contained the highest levels of acrylamide, at $470-3,572{\mu}g/kg$; these were lowered to $38-633{\mu}g/kg$ by vacuum frying. The median concentration of acrylamide was higher in snacks containing potato ($448{\mu}g/kg$) than in those with no potato ($133{\mu}g/kg$). The concentrations of acrylamide were 2-96 $\mu$g/kg in Korean staple foods, $48-61{\mu}g/kg$ in bone-extract soups, and $0-57{\mu}g/kg$ in Bulgogi sauce. These results suggest that the components of processed ffods and the processing methods are important determinants of acrylamide formation.
