ABSTRACT
This work was
done to determine some hazardous substances in fruit juices marketed in Umuahia
using acceptable chemicals and biochemical parameters, Precursors of
carcinogenic N-nitrosamines(nitrate and nitrite) as well as lipid peroxidation
products were determined spectrophotometrically in fourteen samples fruit
drinks frequently consumed by school children. The pH of these fruit drinks
were also measured. The fruit drinks analyzed could be said to be acidic drinks
since the pH range were from (2.41-3.83).Varying concentrations of nitrite and
malondialdehyde (11.01-62.29pg/dl) and (2.44 - 3.80) respectively were also
determined. Nitrate were only detected in few of the samples. The toxicological
implications ofthe findings are discussed
