This study was conducted to estimate the contents of heavy metals in some health foods available on Korean markets. The samples were digested with microwave system, then analyzed using GF-AAS for the contents of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As). The contents of mercury (Hg) were determined using a mercury analyzer. The average values of Hg, Pb, Cd and As in calcium (Ca) health foods were 0.007, 1.08, 0.02 and 0.48 mg/kg respectively. Those values in chitosan health foods were 0.001, 0.36, 0.01 and 0.03 mg/kg respectively. Those values in propolis health foods were 0.013, 4.96, 0.01 and 0.13 mg/kg, respectively. The health foods that contained cow bone powders had the highest lead contents. Based on the variation in lead contents of those products, it could be possible that they might be contaminated through raw materials and/or manufacuring process. Some propolis products were also very high in lead contents. There could be risks for some population, especially the aged who overtake those health foods, to have heavy intake of lead. Therefore, we established the lead standards of 3.0, 2.0 and 5.0mg/kg less than for Ca, chitosan and propolis health foods respectively, based on the Codex method.

현재 유산균은 요구르트, 치즈, 케피어(kefir), 에시도필러스 밀크(acidophilus milk), 비피더스 밀크(bifidus milk), 쿠미스(kumiss), 발효버터(fermented butter), 유산균음료, 빵 등 식품의 천연 방부제, 채소절임, 발효두유(fermented soy milk), 정장제, 구강염증치료제, 사료 첨가제 등등 다양하게 이용되고 있다. 이것은 유산균에 대한 동결건조, 유전자 조작 등 첨단기술이 산업화로 연결되면서 그 이용성이 더욱 확장되고 있다. 유산균을 이용한 건강보조식품도 최근 몇년 사이에 선을 보이고 있지만 아직은 초보적인 단계이며 현재로선 유산균 발효식품과 유산균제제(의약품) 사이에서 뚜렷한 자기자리를 찾지 못하고 있는 실정이다.
