"Comparison of Heavy Metals in Red pepper packed and loose"
الكلمات المفتاحية:
Spice, Red peppers, Heavy Metal, Food Contaminationالملخص
Chili Hot pepper is considered a staple spice in Libyan cuisine. In recent years, interest in food safety from contaminants such as the spread of heavy metal contamination in food has increased. This study notes the scarcity of previous studies that have examined and analyzed Libyan red pepper. This study was conducted to compare the percentage of heavy metals in ground packaged and bulk Libyan chili peppers available in local markets in the city of Al-jumayl. The metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni, Mn, and Zn) were estimated using a plasma-coupled optical emission spectrometer, and the results showed the following, the average concentration of Cd was 0.0001 mg/kg, while the average concentration of Cu was 0.0397-0.0600 mg/kg, the average concentration of Pb was 0.0297-0.0300 mg/kg, and the average concentration of Ni was 1.600-0.001 mg/kg. The results showed that all samples under study were below the permissible limits. As for the two elements (Zn, Mn), they were greater than the permissible limits at a rate of (27.10-15.80) mg/kg and (31.7-14.5) mg/kg, respectively, in the packed and loose samples. We recommend encouraging the Libyan community to consume Libyan spices.
