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
(11.0 1-62.29p.g/dl) and (2.44 — 3.80) respectively were also determined.
Nitrate were only detected in few of the samples. The toxicological
implications of the findings are discussed.
