Assessment of heavy metal and nitrate contamination in canned products from local markets in Baghdad

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the concentrations of heavy and trace elements in commonly consumed canned foods using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, the study of specific types of request cans and applications in the local markets and the estimation of some heavy elements and trace elements using an atomic absorption device are discussed, three local markets in Baghdad Atomic absorption spectrophotometer where the value of the lead in the vegetables was the Lebanese origin 0.60 mg/100g and at least 0.20 mg/100g in UAE-grown beans and cadmium with a maximum value of 0.05mg/100g in UAE beans and at least pineapple, While the Cobalt component of the highest value in the mushroom whole Chinese 0.18 mg/100g and at least in pineapple slices, fruit and peaches, where the value of zero and finally the highest nitrate value in the mushroom whole grain Chinese 174.8 mg/100g and less in the fruit problem Malaysian 28.3 mg/100g. As for the rare elements, the highest manganese element in the Chinese pineapple was 2.37 mg/100g and the lowest 0.12 mg/100g in Thai peaches, and the highest iron component was concentrated in Homs in the Jordanian tahini 9.42 mg/100g and the lowest Chinese pine, 34 mg/100 g and the zinc component was the highest in the Jordanian beans 11.27 mg/100 g and the lowest in the Thai peaches 0.23 mg / 100 g and finally the copper component of the highest value in the mushrooms Chinese pieces 2,11 mg / Saudi corn grain 0.01 mg/100g.
