ABSTRACT
Smoking and grilling when carried out with
traditional methods involving direct contact with wood combustion fumes, is
responsible for high contamination levels of polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs).
The aim of this work was to determine the PAHs content of different smoked
singed cowhides and charcoal grilled meat (suya) product commonly comsumed in
Nigeria. A rapid method involving oven drying and simultaneous extraction using
soxhlet extractor and dichloromethane (DCM) as solvent and gas
chromatography(flame ionization detection) was employed. Samples that was
grilled using charcoal(suya) were contaminated with naphthalene (9260g/kg),
acenaphthylene (9920µg/kg), and flourene (25656g/kg). The Ten (IO) PAHs found
in the singed cowhides were however, below instrument detection limit as a
result of washing because in charcoal grilled meat (suya) sample washing were
not employed after grilling.
