4-Methylimidazole may be formed in the [[browning]] of certain foods through the [[Maillard reaction]] between [[carbohydrate]]s and [[amino]]-containing compounds. In particular, it is found in [[roasting|roasted]] foods and in types of [[caramel coloring]] produced with [[ammonia]]-based processes.<ref name=jac/> It may arise also by [[fermentation]]. |

美國非營利健康機構[[公共利益科學中心]](CSPI)於2012年2月16日發佈新聞稿,向美國政府建議禁止在飲品中使用4-甲基咪唑跟[[2-甲基咪唑]]作[[焦糖|焦糖色]]的著色劑,原因是這兩種化合物已被[[食物及藥品管理局]]確認為[[致癌物]]<ref name=abc_usa>{{cite news |url=http://abcnews.go.com/Health/cspi-caramel-coloring-cola-cancer-soft-drink-industry/story?id=12932008#.T1erd3n4LZg |title=CSPI: Caramel Coloring in Coke, Pepsi Can Cause Cancer; Industry Disputes Claim |trans_title=公共利益科學中心:可口可樂跟百事使用的焦糖色著色劑可致癌;業界對有關指控意見紛紜 |author=Ben Forer |accessdate=2012-03-07 |date=2012-02-16 |language=en }}</ref><ref name=epochtimes>{{cite news |url=http://www.epochtimes.com/b5/12/3/7/n3532852.htm%E5%90%8D%E7%89%8C%E9%A3%B2%E6%96%99%E5%90%AB%E9%AB%98%E5%8A%91%E9%87%8F%E8%87%B4%E7%99%8C%E7%89%A9%EF%BC%9F%E7%BE%8E%E7%9B%A3%E7%AE%A1%E6%A9%9F%E6%A7%8B%E8%B5%B7%E7%B4%9B%E7%88%AD |title=名牌飲料含高劑量致癌物?美監管機構起紛爭 |date=2012-03-07 |editor=[[王嫣然]]編譯報導 |accessdate=2012-03-07 |language=zh-hant |publisher=[[大紀元時報]]}}</ref>。這兩種著色劑普遍用於[[可樂]]飲品中。 |

Recently there has been concern about the presence of 4-MEI in industrial caramel extract (which is the most used food and beverage coloring), typically at a concentration between 50 and 700 [[parts per million|ppm]].<ref name=who75> World Health Organization (1975) [http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v06je13.htm Toxicological evaluation of some food colours, enzymes, flavour enhancers, thickening agents, and certain food additives]. Accessed on 2011-01-11.</ref>. Dark [[beer]]s and common brands of [[cola|cola drinks]] may contain more than 100 [[microgram|μg]] of this compound per 12-[[ounce]] serving.<ref name=jac>Michael F. Jacobson (2011) [http://cspinet.org/new/pdf/caramel_coloring_petition.pdf ''Petition to Bar the Use of Caramel Colorings Produced With Ammonia and Containing the Carcinogens 2-Methylimidazole and 4-Methylimidazole'']. Accessed on 2011-01-11.</ref> |

At very high doses (360 [[milligram|mg]]/[[kilogram|kg]] of body weight), 4-methylimidazole is a [[convulsant]] for [[rabbit]]s, [[mouse|mice]] and [[chicken|chicks]], and was the likely cause of acute intoxication observed in [[cattle]] fed with [[ammonia|ammoniated]] [[sugar]]-containing [[cattle feed]] supplements in the 1960s.<ref name=who75/> On the other hand, several studies found no ill effect in [[rat]]s and [[dog]]s for the concentrations found in caramel coloring.<ref name=who75/> A study even found that 4-MEI had an anti-carcinogenic effect on rats.<ref name=chan>P. C. Chan, G. D. Hills, G. E. Kissling (2008) ''Toxicity and carcinogenicity studies of 4-methylimidazole in F344/N |

rats and B6C3F1 mice.'' Arch Toxicol. volume 82 issue 1, pages 45-53.</ref><ref name=jac/> Based on these studies, caramel coloring of all types has been considered safe until recently. In the [[European Union]] the legal limit for 4-MEI in caramel coloring is 250 mg/kg.<ref name=efsa>European Food Safety Authority (2004) [http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/doc/2004.pdf ''Scientific opinion on the re-evaluation of caramel colours (E 150 a,b,c,d) as food additives'']. EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS). Acessed on 2011-01-11.</ref> |
|||
Yet, a 2007 study by the [[National Toxicology Program]] (NTP) found that 4-MEI was [[carcinogen|carcinogenic]] in [[mouse|mice]] and in female [[rat]]s.<ref name=ntp07>National Toxicology Program (2007) [http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/index.cfm?objectid=9B956B07-F1F6-975E-79BBCDCCD57001C8 ''Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Studies of 4-Methylimidazole (CAS No. 822-36-6) in F344/N Rats and B6C3F1 Mice (Feed Studies)'']. NTP report TR-535. Acessed on 2011-01-11.</ref> Similar effects were observed for the [[isomer]] [[2-Methylimidazole|2-methylimidazole]], also found in caramel coloring. It also has been claimed that the reduction in tumor rates seen by Chan and others were due to lower body weight rather than a true anti-carcinogenic effect.<ref name=jac/> |
|||
In light of these new findings, on January 2011 the state of [[California]] added 4-MEI to its [[California Proposition 65|list of probable carcinogens]] and stipulated 16 μg per day as the "[[No Significant Risk Level]]" (NRSL) intake. This is considerably less than the mean intake of 4-MEI by many americans, such as regular cola drinkers.<ref name=jac/> The food industry has strongly opposed that decision, as it implies the need for additional warning labels on many products; and disputes the validity of the NTP study.<ref name=jac/> |

健康考量
美國非營利健康機構公共利益科學中心(CSPI)於2012年2月16日發佈新聞稿,向美國政府建議禁止在飲品中使用4-甲基咪唑跟2-甲基咪唑作焦糖色的著色劑,原因是這兩種化合物已被食物及藥品管理局確認為致癌物[1][2]。這兩種著色劑普遍用於可樂飲品中。
