어린이 기호식품 중 트랜스지방 및 포화지방 함량을 조사하고 그 지방산 조성을 확인하기 위하여 과자류 134건, 제빵류 55건, 도넛류 74건, 햄버거 60건(20종)을 서울 및 경기지역을 중심으로 수거하여 분석하였다. 조지방 함량은 과자류가 24.2${pm}$6.9(범위: 4.6~41.1) g/100 g으로 가장 높았고, 도넛 23.9${pm}$5.8(범위: 14.1~39.5), 제빵류 15.7${pm}$7.9(1.4~30.0), 햄버거 9.5${pm}$3.4(4.5~18.5)의 순이었다. 트랜스지방 최고값은 제빵류에서 1.3 g/100 g으로 업계의 저감화 노력을 확인할 수 있었다. 포화지방은 과자류가 11.6${pm}$4.8(범위: 2.0~22.7) g/100 g, 도넛 11.2${pm}$4.0(범위: 4.8~23.2) g/100 g, 제빵류 6.9${pm}$4.1(범위: 0.6~15.4) g/100 g, 햄버거 3.0${pm}$1.0(1.0~5.8) g/100 g의 순이었으며 조지방 함량에 의존성이 있는 것으로 확인하였다. 지방산 중 포화지방산 및 불포화지방산의 비율은 제품의 특성에 따라 매우 다양하게 나타났으며 식물성 유지를 사용하여 유탕하는 제조공정의 제품군이 다른 제품과 비교 시 포화지방산이 낮은 경향을 나타내었다.
We studied the amounts of trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids in child-favored foods. Confectioneries, breads, donuts and hamburgers were included in this study. The total fatty acid content and the amount of each type of fatty acid were determined by gas chromatography with a flame-ionized detector. Confectioneries were shown to have the highest content of crude fat. The mean content was 24.2${pm}$6.9 (range: 4.6~41.1) g/100 g food. The mean content of crude fat in donuts, bread and hamburgers was 23.9${pm}$5.8 (range: 14.1~39.5) g/100 g food, 15.7${pm}$7.9 (range: 1.4~30.0) g/100 g food, and 9.5${pm}$3.4 (range: 4.5~18.5) g/100 g food, respectively. Bread had the most trans fatty acids at 1.3 g/100 g food. This result inferred that manufacturers have tried to reduce the trans fat content. The mean content of saturated fatty acids in confectioneries, donuts, bread, and hamburgers was 11.6${pm}$4.8 (range: 2.0~22.7) g/100 g food, 11.2${pm}$4.0 (range: 4.8~23.2) g/100 g food, 6.9${pm}$4.1 (range: 0.6~15.4) g/100 g food, 3.0${pm}$1.0 (range: 1.0~5.8) g/100 g food, respectively. This content depended on crude fat. The composition of fatty acids varied according to the oil and fat used in the manufacturing process of each food, and the natural content. Foods that were fried in vegetable oil tended to be especially low in saturated fat.
