Abstract

Aim: To monitore knowledges and attitudes regarding food additives in a representative sample of Mureş students.

Methods: We used a questionnaire of 27 questions related to nutritional behaviour, types of food and beverages with food additives used frequently in the menu and also knowledges regarding food additives. We choose a groups of 185 students from Targu-Mures University of Medicine, in 2007.

Results: Knowledges regarding food additives are impressive in our group and showing interest for this matter also. From our subjects 55.14% are avoiding food products and beverages with additives, especially girls from urban area (p < 0.00006). An important percentage (9.72%) of students are associating over admitted limits of additive food products daily (ham, sweets, dairy, jam, canned food)e; 20% of them are consuming also beverages and instant tea types with more additives involved.

Conclusions: The motives to avoid food additives are related to cancer and gastric toxicity causes.

[穆雷伊茨县年轻人对菜单中食品添加剂的了解]。

目的:监测具有代表性的穆雷兹学生对食品添加剂的知识和态度。方法:我们使用了一份包含27个问题的调查问卷，这些问题涉及营养行为、菜单中经常使用的食品添加剂的食品和饮料类型以及食品添加剂的知识。我们选择了2007年塔尔古-穆列什医科大学的185名学生。结果:我们小组对食品添加剂的知识印象深刻，也对此事感兴趣。55.14%的受试者避免食用含有添加剂的食品和饮料，尤其是来自城市地区的女孩(p < 0.00006)。相当大比例(9.72%)的学生认为每天的添加剂食品(火腿、糖果、乳制品、果酱、罐头食品)超过了允许的限量。其中20%的人还饮用含有更多添加剂的饮料和速溶茶。结论:不使用食品添加剂的动机与致癌和胃毒性因素有关。
