. Estimation of some of heavy metals in different specimens of fruit juice canned

Abstract

This study focused on estimating levels of some heavy metals in five brands of fruit. Heavy metals was determined by Atomic absorption spectrometry ( AAS). Concentrations of the studied metals varies between (15.01 ± 2.45) PPm for Fe, (4.23 ± 1.50) PPm for Cu, (1.25± 0.002) PPm for Pb, (0.55± 0.002)PPm for Cd, (1.46 ± 0.47) PPm for Zn. The levels of these metals exceeded statutory safe limits except for Zn
