摘要:Synthetic detergents and commercial surfactants have been widely used as household and industrial detergents. The purposes of this study was to investigated the residual amounts and its safety of synthetic and commercial surfactants on the surfaces of fruits,vagetables and tablewares. The tested solutions were four kinds of raw materials of detergents such as LAS (Linear alkyl benzene sulfonate),AOS {ᄋ—Oleffine sulfonate),SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfonate) and SLES (Sodium lauryl ester sulfonate) and two kinds of commercial surfactants for kitchen. Cabbage and grapes were dipped in the each solution of the synthetic or commercial surfactants and washed 5 times in static or flow state. For the other experiments,stainless bowl was dipped in the each solution and washed also 5 times with cold and hot water in static or flow state. The residual amounts of the detergents were measured and also safety assessment was determined. The results of this study were summarized as follows. 1. The residual amounts of the detergents on the tested cabbage and grapes after 5 times washing were detected with the range from 0.105 to 3.009ppm in static state and from 0.104 to 2.963ppm in flow state. 2. The residual amounts of the detergents on the tested stainless bowl after 5 times washing were detected with the range from 0.012 to 1.243ppm in static state and from 0.014 to 1.4232ppm in flow state. 3. The safety ratio has been used as an evaluation of human health effects on the exposure of synthetic and commercial detergents. In this study,the estimated safety ratio was 2,459 and it is higher than recommended safety ratio on the food additives in WHO.
