Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometery Detection of Heavy Metals in Milk of Camel, Cattle, Buffalo and Goat from Various Areas of Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan

Abstract: The determination of the seven elements was performed by Perkin Elmer Atomic Absorption (AA) spectrophotometer. The present study highlights the importance of seven heavy metals residual concentration including Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn in milk of Camel, Cattle, Buffalo, Sheep and Goat from various areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. It revealed that milk of camel comprising of high levels of Zn (5.150 ± 0.021 mg/kg), Mn (0.094 ± 0.003 mg/kg) and Fe (1.580 ± 0.530 mg/kg) with a definite correlatio… Show more

“…Although metals such as iron, copper, and manganese are essential elements in the body, in large quantities, they cause toxicity. The metal of chromium, lead, and nickel is listed in the priority list of hazardous substances by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) (Kafaei et al 2017;Ahmad et al 2017). Heavy metals accumulate in various tissues of the body and can affect the central nervous system or cause other diseases such as impaired intelligence, behavioral impairment, and cardiovascular and renal disease (Christoforidis and Stamatis 2009).…”

“…The results in this work cleared that the concentration of Cu in different samples varied from 0.009 to 0.81 ppm. Lower results were detected by (Dobrzanski et al, 2005, Meshref et al, 2014, and Ahmad et al, 2017, while other authors recorded higher levels of Cu in cow milk samples (Yuet al, 2015, Issa et al, 2016 andKabir et al, 2017) Regarding kareish cheese, higher level of Cu was reported by (Deeb, 2010). The presence of Cu residues in milk can occur from different sources as animal feed, water with high Cu content, or from Cu bearing and Cu alloys used in equipment (Mitchell, 1981).…”

“…In this study, one of the products based on goat milk did not have supplemental Mn; however, it also contained chocolate, so the effect of goat milk on total Mn concentration could not be assessed from this set of samples. Prior surveys suggest that the Mn concentration of goat milk is comparable to that of cow milk [100,108110]; similarly, the Mn concentration of goat-milk based formulas has been shown to be comparable to that of cow-milk based formulas [96].…”
