Abstract
파라벤은 화장품, 식품, 의약품 등에 첨가되는 살균성 보존제로 미생물의 성장을 억제한다. 그러나 체내에서 에스트 로겐과 유사한 작용을 하는 내분비계 교란물질이며, 특히 독성물질에 민감한 영유아 및 태아에게 노출될 경우 생식기 기형, 고 환암, 성조숙증 등 성장발달에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영아가 주로 섭취하는 모유에서의 파라벤 수준을 확인 하기 위하여 모유 중 4가지 파라벤(methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl parabne, butyl paraben)의 분석법을 확립하였다. 시료는 액체상추출(Liquid-liquid extraction, LLE)을 통하여 전처리 한 후, 액체크로마토그래피 텐덤 질량분석기(liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, LC-MS/MS)를 사용하여 정량분석 하였다. 확립된 분석조건에서 얻어진 검량선의 직선성은 r2 > 0.999 이고, 검출한계(LOD)는 0.019~0.044 ng/mL이었다. 또한 정확도는 85.3~105.9%, 정밀도는 10% 이하의 값을 나타내었다. 10개의 모유시료 중 파라벤류의 평균농도 ± 표준편차는 MP 0.660 ± 0.519 ng/mL, EP 1.631 ± 2.081 ng/mL, PP 0.326 ± 0.320 ng/mL이었고, BP는 불검출 되었다.

Parabens were commonly used for preventing the growth of microorganisms as preservatives in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry. Also, parabens are known endocrine disruptors because of their estrogenic effects on human. Parabens affect the endocrine system and show adverse effect such as, genital malformations, precocious puberty and testicular cancer in young children, infants and fetuses. In this study, we developed analytical method for four parabens (methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, butyl paraben) in human breast milk which frequently consumed by newborn baby. The analytes were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) after enzyme hydrolysis with protease and lipase, then quantitative analysis was performed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The method validation results were as follows; the linearity of calibration curves were excellent with coefficient of determinations (r2) higher than 0.999, the limit of detections (LODs) were 0.019~0.044 ng/mL, the accuracies were 85.3~105.9% and the precisions were lower than 10%. The average concentration ± standard deviation of parabens in ten human breast milk sample were MP 0.660 ± 0.519 ng/mL, EP 1.631 ± 2.081 ng/mL and PP 0.326 ± 0.320 ng/mL, and BP was not detected.
