Determination of heavy metal in selected salted fish by using ICP-OES/ Mohd Farhan Mohd Asri

This study was carried out to determine the amount of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Cu, Al and Zn in selected salted fish such as "ikan kembung" (Indian mackerel) , "ikan kurau" (Treadfin), and "ikan cencaru" (Torpedo scad) by using Induced Couple Plasma-Optical Emission...

The concentration of heavy metal in each sample was compared with permitted level as stated by Food Act 1983 and Food Regulation 1985 and also with FDA and WHO regulation. The samples of salted fish were digested using wet digestion method. The highest concentration of Cd was observed in "ikan cencaru" (148.367 mg/kg) followed by "ikan kurau" (131.467 mg/kg) and "ikan kembung" (96.583 mg/kg). These values exceeded the maximum permitted level which is 1 mg/kg. The salted fish were also contaminated with Zn in "ikan kurau" (31.067 mg/kg), "ikan cencaru" (3.179 mg/kg) and "ikan kembung" (9.167 mg/kg). According to FDA the safe upper limit in body for Zn is 15 mg/kg. Cu was determined in "ikan kembung" (3.874 mg/kg) and "ikan cencaru" (38.733 mg/kg) but it was not detected in "ikan kurau". According to FDA regulation the safe upper limit for human daily intake for Cu is lOOmg/day. Al was determined in "ikan kurau" (5.506 mg/kg) and "ikan cencaru" (0.365 mg/kg) but it was not detected in "ikan kembung". The maximum permitted for Pb in fish product is 2 mg/kg, however for all selected samples of salted fish Pb was not detected. Hence it can be concluded that most of the samples were contaminated with heavy metals which are Cd, Al, Cu, and Zn except Pb. 2009 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/100695/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/100695/1/100695.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi, MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Applied Science Abdullah, Noriham
