A Study on Intake of Aspartame and Sucralose in Food

In this study, monitoring of food additives as an artificial sweeteners on favorite dairy products of children, which are deal at supermarket, was performed. We analyzed aspartame, acesulfame-K, sodium saccharin, and sucralose from total 206 dairy products which are fermented milk, ice-creams and others. Aspartame was detected from 3 cases of fermented milk. Sucralose was detected from 10 cases of processed milk and 2 cases of fermented milk. The detected concentration was followed [average (minimum ∼maximum)]: aspartame 34.6 mg/kg (2.9∼97.9 mg/kg), sucralose 29.8 mg/kg (5.5∼67.7 mg/kg). The level of intakes of detected sweeteners were evaluated by comparisons with the acceptable daily intake (ADI) data established by the joint FAO/WHO expert committee on food additives. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of aspartame and sucralose per day were 0.37 mg/day, 0.20∼0.32 mg/day. The intake levels were 0.05∼0.8%, which were all within safe levels.
