The Impact of Using the Scratched Utensil on Food Contamination with Heavy Metals

Heavy metals with adverse health effects in human metabolism .The objectives of this study are monitor the heavy metal concentrations in foodsamples are cooked in different common normal andscratchedcooking utensil as (Aluminum, Stainless steel, Tefal,lead, Copper, Glass, and enamel cookware). The samples of cooked were freshtomato juice cooked in normal andScratched utensil, samples cooled then kept in clean polyethylene bottles with code number, samples digested then analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer [AAS] ,for six heavy metals( Cd, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Fi). They have negative effects on food safety and quality,the results showed significant differences in elemental concentrations among the cooked tomato juicesamplesanalyzedwhich cooked in deferent type of utensils.The results revealed that there were wide variations in the contents of the heavy metals in samples. CrushTefal was found to contain the highest concentrations of the previously mentioned elements, In conclusion we should avoid usingcrushed utensil because it considered harmful on food and health.
