Abstract |
: |
Milk and its products are very common in our food list due to
its nutrient value, since it is a source of some vitamins and a lot of mineral
constituents which are necessary for proper development and functioning
of different tissues and organs. However, overdose of these vitamins and
mineral constituents can be harmful. This study was directed to measure
the concentrations of Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper
(Cu) and Lead (Pb) in cow's milk samples available commercially in
Saudi Arabia using Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometer.
Two types of milk samples were analyzed. These were - fresh cow's milk
and liquid milk prepared from cow's milk powder. The mean elemental
concentration values in ppb of Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in fresh cow's milk
were: (31.4 ± 0.4), (48.9 ± 0.6), (944.9 ± 2.4), (4.7 ± 0.2) and (3.5 ± 0.2)
respectively. Those in cow's milk powder were :.(20.6 ± 0.8), (36.9 ± L.l),
(956.8 ± 3.2), (3.1 ± 0.3), and (2.2 ± 0.2) respectively. These values are
compared with Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) values and also
with the corresponding values of different countries available in the
literature. |
