Abstract

The nitrate contents in 8 beet red products available commercially in Japan were analyzed as a part of studies for establishing the specifications of natural food additives. As the analytical method, ion-chromatography was considered suitable and was, therefore, used. The nitrate contens in 3 products exceeded to limit value of JECFA specifications. Therefore, it is considered that, when the limit value is adopted in The Japanese Standards for Food Additives, some products may not comply with the specification, if the manufacturing processes are unchanged.
