The amount of heavy metals was detected using Induced Couple Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). There were three samples of selected fish sauce sample A, sample B, and sample C. Sample A contained the highest lead, cadmium, and zinc content which were 3.94 mg/kg, 36.57 mg/kg, and 54.93 mg/kg respectively and the lowest was aluminium (4.10 mg/kg). While sample B contained lead, cadmium, zinc and aluminium which were 2.58 mg/kg, 27.46 mg/kg, 52.63 mg/kg and 5.66 mg/kg respectively. Besides, sample C has the highest amount of aluminium (36.39 mg/kg) and lowest amount of zinc (13.18 mg/kg). Generally, all the samples have very high level of cadmium with the value exceeded the permitted level of 1 mg/kg as stated in the Food Regulation (1985). 2009 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102575/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102575/1/102575.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Applied Sciences
