Assessment of selected heavy metals concentration in canned tuna / Fitri Norizatie Mohd Salehin

The presences of heavy metals in environment can cause danger to food and human health. Moreover, it can accumulate in aquatic animals such fish. The objective of this study was conducted to determine concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, Fe) in canned tuna samples. In this study, three pop...

Based on the data obtained, Zn and Cd were below permissible limits while of Pb and Fe was slightly increased (>0.02 mg/kg) and (>15.0 mg/kg) from the permissible limits level according to European Communities (Commission of European Communities, 2001), Turkish Food Codex and Food Additives and Contaminants (CCFAC, 2001). However, the concentration of heavy metals in all canned tuna is still low and will not give a harmful effect on human health.
