ABSTRACT
Smoking
and grilling when carried out with traditional methods involving direct contact
with wood combustion fumes, is responsible for high contamination levels of
polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs). The aim of this work was to determine
the PAHs content of different smoked singed cowhides and charcoal grilled meat
(suya) product commonly comsumed in Nigeria. A rapid method involving oven
drying and simultaneous extraction using soxhlet extractor and dichloromethane
(DCM) as solvent and gas chromatography(flame ionization detection) was
employed. Samples that was grilled using charcoal(suya) were contaminated with
naphthalene (9260pg/kg), acenaphthylene (9920pg/kg), and flourene (25656pg/kg).
The Ten (10) PAHs found in the singed cowhides were however, below instrument
detection limit as a result of washing because in charcoal grilled meat (suya)
sample washing were not employed after grilling
