Monitoring of Pesticides, Heavy Metals and Nitrates Residues bin some Ready-to- Eat Baby Food
Abstract: Twenty eight ready to eat baby and children food samples were collected from different places and production dates during 2002. the samples were subjected to residue analysis of organochlorine, organophosphorous, organonitrogen and pyrethroids pesticides (80 Pesticides) as well as cadmium, lead, copper and nitrate residue method analysis. The results show that, no pesticide residues were found in all samples. The most contaminant was nitrate followed by Cu, Pb, and Cd. Copper, Pb and Cd, Contaminate the samples in mean concentrations 0.538, 0.036, 0.008 mg/kg and their ranges were of 0.24-1.731 mg/kg for Cu, 0.02-0.134 mg/kg for lead, and 0.002 – 0.035 for cadmium. The highest concentration was with nitrates, which was ranged from 9- 137 mg/kg with a mean concentration of 65.2 mg/kg, which is considered high for baby and children.
