Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the usage and management of flavorings inside or outside (Europe, Japan, JECFA and USA) for that establish a legislation about the flavoring management in Korea. Also, this study contributed to prevent confusion when manufacturers produce flavorings used in food industry. 6,434 among 8,386 flavorings authorized by Korea Food and Drug administration are compound flavorings, and 618 among 6,434 compound flavorings are synthetic flavorings. Many other substances except for flavorings are using as solvent in flavoring manufacture. Flavorings used in food industries of Korea are listed at least one among FEMA, JECFA, CoE and JFFMA except for isooctyl acetate and tricyclene. 493 items out of total 618 synthetic flavorings have completed safety evaluation by JECFA. 106 synthetic flavorings out of the rest listed FEMA as GRAS and 20 synthetic flavorings used in Japan. The replier answered that the most frequently used flavorings are strawberry, grape, orange, plum, lemon and vanilla flavor and that the usage of flavoring added to foodstuffs is less than 0.5%.
