Alsabagh et al. 2025 - Assessment of heavy metal and nitrate contamination in canned products from local markets in Baghdad
This study measured heavy metals and nitrate in canned products sold in Baghdad markets, including canned pineapple and fruit cocktail.
Key numbers
Source units are mg/100 g.
- Canned pineapple: Pb 0.21 in Thai product and 0.30 in Chinese product; Cd not present in both origins; Co 0.01 in Thai product and not detected in Chinese product.
- Canned pineapple nitrate: 39.8 to 44.6.
- Canned pineapple Mn: 1.01 to 2.37; Fe 12.5 and 0.34; Zn 7.67 and 2.62; Cu 2.08 and 0.25 for Thai and Chinese products, respectively.
- Canned fruit cocktail: Pb 0.12 and 0.28 in Malaysian and Thai products; Cd and Co reported as zero in both products.
Methods
The paper reports solid-material heavy metals for canned products and nitrate/nitrite measurements with selective-electrode methods.
Implications
The source supports canned-pineapple and canned-fruit context. Units are mg/100 g, so route only after preserving unit/basis or converting explicitly.
