Mahmood et al. 2025 - metals in dried fruit from local markets
Mahmood and coauthors measured heavy metals in selected dried fruit samples from local markets and assessed compliance and health risk. The source is routeable to dried fruit because the title and abstract identify market dried-fruit samples and the heavy-metal analytes include Pb, Cr, and Ni. It is currently summary-routeable pending table-level extraction of per-fruit values.
Key numbers
- The study measured copper, nickel, manganese, iron, lead, and chromium in selected dried fruit samples.
- Samples were collected from multiple local-market sources and analyzed with advanced techniques described by the authors.
- The abstract frames the purpose as compliance assessment against WHO and Codex Alimentarius standards and health-risk evaluation.
Methods (brief)
The PDF abstract states that dried fruit samples were collected from multiple sources and analyzed for heavy metals; table-level methods should be checked before using this source for benchmark pooling.
Implications
Certification: candidate dried-fruit occurrence evidence for Pb, Ni, and Cr once table values are extracted. Courses: example of market dried-fruit surveillance. App: supports a dried-fruit evidence stub with follow-up extraction need.

Verification notes
Metadata and DOI are visible in the PDF. The abstract is numeric-light, so this page records routeability but flags full table extraction as required before quantitative synthesis.
