Characterisation and comparative analysis of metallic inclusions in dry, paste and wet ground maize (zea mays) forms and its health implication on human
Abstract:This study investigates metallic inclusions in ground maize forms of dry, paste and wet using domestic grinding machine and its health implications to human. With progressive maize processing using the grinding machine, metals are introduced as contaminants into ground maize due to wear and tear of the grinding discs and other machine parts. Maize samples of 1 kg each were grinded in wet, paste, and dry forms. The metallic inclusions were extracted from the ground maize forms using magnetisation, sedimentation… Show more
