BHC를 살포하여 재배한 현미(玄米)(BHC잔류량 0.3 ppm)의 도정(搗精), 세미(洗米), 및 취반(炊飯)중 BHC 잔류량(殘留量)을 분석하여 그의 행방을 추적한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 현미의 도정(搗精)중 BHC는 10분도미에서 8%, 7분도미에서 20%가 잔류하였다. 2) 쌀의 세척(洗滌)중 10분도미에서는 34%, 7분도미에서는 31%가 잔류하였다. 3) 재래식 취반(炊飯)과 전기밥솥에 의한 취반중 10분도미에서는 각각 86%, 77%, 7분도미에서는 각각 69%, 41%가 잔류하였다. 4) 전체적으로 보아 현미로부터 밥으로의 BHC 이행률(移行率)은 10분도미에서 2.3%, 7분도미에서 4.3%에 불과하였다. 따라서 현미의 조리(調理), 가공(加工)중 발생되는 BHC의 제거량(除去量)을 잔류농약 허용량(許容量)설정에 반영(反映)하여 야 될 것이다.
In order to investigate the effect of polishing washing and cooking processes on the residue level of BHC in rice grain, brown rice samples having a 0.3 ppm total BHC content were subjected to various treatments and residue analysis. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The conventional polishing process of brown rice decreased the residue level down to 8 and 20% for 100 and 70% polished rice, respectively. 2) The washing procedure decreased the level to 34 and 31% for 100 and 70% polished rice, respectively. 3) The cooking processes with a conventional kettle and an automatic electric cooker decreased the residue level to 86 and 77% in 100% polished rice, and 69 and 41% in 70% polished rice, respectively. 4) By summation of the above results in sequence. it was concluded that the residue levels of BHC in cooked rice were 2.3 and 4.3% of original residue in the brown rice for 100 and 70% polished rice, respectively.
