ABSTRACT
Bread
sample produced in Umudike metropolis of Eastern Nigeria was analyzed for
potassium bromate content and some heavy metals. The study revealed the
presence of potassium bromate in the sample analysed, the concentrations ranged
from 29.SO32.22mg kg. all the values were above the allowed limit by WHO/FAO.
The heavy metals evaluated were Chromium. Copper, Cobalt and Lead. Results
obtained were assessed on the basis of the permissible limits for the
respective metals in Foods. The concentrations of the above listed metals in
the sample were 0.05 mg/kg for Chromium, 0.01 mg/kgfor Copper, 0.22 mg kg for
cobalt and 0.03 mg/kg for Lead respectively. The levels ofthese metals in the
sample where below permissible limits.
