Analysis of heavy metals in fruits by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (LCP-OES) / Che Wan Nurul Ain Che Wan Mohd Zaki
Fruits are known as common nutritive foods for human diet that are rich with vitamins, minerals and fibers. However, they may be contaminated by heavy metals and can give risk to human health if taken in exceed quantities. In this study, the analysis of heavy metals was carried out in seven fruit...

| description |
Fruits are known as common nutritive foods for human diet that are rich with
vitamins, minerals and fibers. However, they may be contaminated by heavy metals
and can give risk to human health if taken in exceed quantities. In this study, the
analysis of heavy metals was carried out in seven fruit samples which are green
apple, red apple, fragrant pear, century pear, banana, mango and guavas. The
investigated heavy metals are Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn),
Nickel (Ni) and Lead (Pb). All the samples were analyzed by Inductively Coupled
Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The concentration of the
selected heavy metals in the fruit samples were ranged from 0.0467 µg/g to 0.216
µg/g for Mn, 0.133 µg/g to 0.1 µg/g for Pb and from 0.0433 µg/g to 0.0733 µg/g
for Cu. The highest concentration of Ni in the fruit samples was 0.033 µg/g. Cd
contents were below detection limit for all the fruit samples. The concentration of
heavy metal elements obtained from all the samples were ranked with decreasing
order as follow Mn > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cd. The concentrations of selected heavy
metals were compared with standard allowable amount of toxic heavy metals and
also with the literature values. The present study shows that all the concentrations
of heavy metals were within the allowable limit except for Pb. |
