Abstract
Nitrate a common component of man's chemical environment, is present in foods either naturally or in an additive introduced during processing of foods. Nitrate level of foods have been found depending on nitrosation of soils and other various environmental factors. Therefore data on nitrate contents of foods reported in other countries can not be adapted to Korean foods. Also data on nitrate levels of Korean foods available were reported 10 years ago, which would be assumed to differ from those of foods currently consuming by Koreans. The present study was attempted to determine nitrate contEnts of common foods. Based on National Nutrition Survey Report 143 food items out of 14 food groups were selected for this study Nitrate levels of common foods used in the study were from N.D (not detected) to 6733.33 mg/kg foods. Mean nitrate levels of food groups 27.2 mg/kg of cereal and grain products, 78.1 mg/kg in potatoes and potato products, 8.3 mg/kg in legumes and their products N.D of seeds and nuts, 1012.1 mg/kg of vegetables and their products,76.3 mg/kg fungi and mushrooms 42.2 mg/kg fruits,34.5 mg/kg of meat, poultry and their products,0 mg/kg in eggs, 23.9 mg/kg in fish, shellfishes and their products,23.0 mg/kg in seaweeds, 7.7 mg/kg milk and dairy products, 26.3 mg/kg in seasonings, 68.0 mg/kg in others.
