ABSTRACT
The possible contamination of eight brands of pasta food which include Indomie, spaghetti investigated following the identification of pesticide residues in Indomie noodles and the contamination of baby foods with poisonous cassava materials. Enzymatic analysis of the foods for cyancide content indicated the presence of this compound at the range of 9.12 — 88.31 ppm. Chemical analysis of the pasta foods also showed the presence of alkaloids and saponins in all the brands, tannins and saponins in two brands and carbohydrate in all the samples. The toxicological implication of these finding are discussed.
