Determination of Iron, Copper, Zinc and Manganese in Sausage, Poultry-Rabbit Meat, Viscera and Red Meats Consumed by the Population in The Canary Islands, Spain
Journal Title: Journal of Toxins - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine the levels of Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn in samples of sausage, bird poultry-rabbit meat, viscera and red meats, collected in the Canary Islands (Spain). Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn were analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometry (ICP-OES). Mean levels of Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn in meat samples were as follows: 12.53 mg/Kg, 1.13 mg/Kg, 20.54 mg/Kg, and 0.56 mg/Kg, respectively for sausage, 6.09 mg/Kg, 0.53 mg/Kg, 13.23 mg/Kg, and 0.23 mg/Kg, respectively for bird poultry-rabbit meat, 43.61 mg/Kg, 49.81 mg/Kg, 36.35 mg/Kg, and 2.12 mg/Kg, respectively for viscera, and 12.93 mg/Kg, 0.87 mg/Kg, 33.15 mg/Kg and 0.11 mg/ Kg, respectively for red meats. The contribution percentage of the analysed metals to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) and statistical analysis of the Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn contents were carried out.
