The aim of this study was to monitor and assess the risk associated with the presence of furan in various food products consumed in Korea. An optimized analytical method was used for the analysis of furan levels. The optimized solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber exposure conditions as follows for temperature, time, and amount of sample were 50 degrees C, 20 min, and 5 g (ml), respectively. Furan was detected in all food samples tested, at levels ranging from 0.4 ng/g in canned crab to 814 ng/g in ground roasted coffee powder. The furan levels in coffee, canned fish, canned meats, sauce, soup, retort, canned vegetables, baby foods, nutritional/diet drinks, confectionary and biscuits and snacks, juice, jams, and canned fruit were (ng/g) 169, 56.1, 30.1, 21.1, 18.1, 15.6, 10.9, 10.6, 7.1, 5.4, 3.7, 3.2, and 2.9, respectively. Furan concentrations in baby food products were between 1 and 102.5 ng/g. The total exposure estimate of furan was determined to be 10.6 ng/kg/d (maximum, 20 ng/kg/d) for adults, and 17.4 ng/kg/d (maximum. 84.9 ng/kg/d) for babies. Exposure estimates found in this study are lower than those prescribed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
本研究旨在监测和评估韩国消费的各种食品中呋喃的存在风险。采用优化的分析方法检测呋喃水平。优化的固相微萃取（SPME）纤维暴露条件如下：温度、时间和样品量分别为 50°C、20 分钟和 5 克（毫升）。在所有测试的食品样品中均检测到呋喃，其含量范围从罐装蟹中的 0.4ng/g 到磨碎烘焙咖啡粉中的 814ng/g。咖啡、罐装鱼、罐装肉、调味汁、汤、罐头、蔬菜、婴儿食品、营养/饮食饮料、糖果和饼干和零食、果汁、果酱和罐装水果中的呋喃含量（ng/g）分别为 169、56.1、30.1、21.1、18.1、15.6、10.9、10.6、7.1、5.4、3.7、3.2 和 2.9。婴儿食品中的呋喃浓度在 1 到 102.5ng/g 之间。成人的呋喃总暴露估计值为 10.6ng/kg/d（最高 20ng/kg/d），婴儿为 17.4ng/kg/d（最高 84.9ng/kg/d）。本研究中的暴露估计值低于美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）规定的水平。
