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 consumed in Nigeria. A rapid method involving oven drying and
simultaneous extraction using soxhiet extractor and dichloromethane (DCM) as
solvent and gas chromatogaphy(flame ionization detection) was employed. Samples
that was grilled using charcoal(suya) were contaminated with naphthalene
(9260.tg/kg), acenaphthylene (9920igIkg), and flouren (25656.gIkg). 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.
