Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate and evaluate total sugar and artificial sweetener contents in health functional foods. In this study, HPLC with evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) and HPLC-UV were used to determine the contents of total sugar and artificial sweetener in health functional foods. Sixty-six chewable products and sixty red ginseng products were collected from markets in Seoul. The average content of 126 samples per daily intake portion was 1.96 g ranging from not-detected (N.D.) to 12.61 g. The mean total sugar content per serving of chewable product was 1.26 g and N.D. to 10.39 g. The average amount of total sugar per daily intake of ginseng and red ginseng was 2.70 g and N.D. to 12.61 g. The average amount of sugar per daily intake of chewable products was 2.10 g for children, 1.43 g for nutrients, and 0.35 g for functional raw material. For children's products, the content of sugar per serving was ranged from 1.03 g to 5.33 g, from N.D. to 10.39 g for nutrients and from N.D. to 2.61 g for functional raw materials. The average content of sugar per daily intake of ginseng and red ginseng product was 4.25 g in liquid product, 1.51 g in concentrate product and 1.49 g in powder product. The contents of sugar per the daily intake of the liquid product ranged from N.D. to 10.80 g, from 0.01 g to 12.61 g for the concentrated product, and from 0.06 g to 5.64 g for the powdered product. Analysis of artificial sweeteners showed that artificial sweeteners were detected in three cases. No artificial sweeteners were detected in ginseng and red ginseng products. Two of the chewable products and one of the functional raw materials were detected. The detected artificial sweeteners were aspartame, 3.09 g/kg in nutrients and 1.09 g/kg in functional raw material.
