Abstract
Thaumatin is a low-calorie protein sweetener extracted from Thaumatococcus daniellii Benth. Its ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake) was concluded as “not specified” by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). This study was conducted to select a sample preparation method and validate the proposed method by applying a matrix-matched calibration curve using HPLC-UVD. In the results, the calibration curve (5–200 mg/L) represented good linearity (r2 ≥ 0.9995). LOD and LOQ ranged from 1.28 to 2.00 mg/L and from 3.89 to 6.07 mg/L, respectively. The intra- and inter-day accuracies and precisions ranged from 91.5 to 103.0%RSD and from 0.50 to 3.42%RSD, respectively. Furthermore, the relative expanded uncertainty was evaluated and the result satisfied the CODEX guideline (≤ 16%). Additionally, the application of the validated method was confirmed by using thaumatin-containing foods distributed in Korea. Thaumatin intake and exposure assessments for consumers can be conducted based on this study.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
