Cadmium and Lead Content in Several Brands of Black Tea (Camellia sinensis) in Iran
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world and contains several important essential micro nutrients, that are beneficial to human health. The contamination of tea leaves by heavy metals may pose serious problems to human health, because they are not biodegradable and remain in the environment and might enter the food chain. In this study, the concentration of heavy metals; Cd and Pb was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) according to AOAC method of analysis. Ten samples of black tea cultivated in Iran were compared with 10 samples of imported black tea in 2011. The results of analysis showed that the mean level of Pb was 497.5 ± 175 ppb for Iranian and 293.3 ± 269.5 ppb for imported black tea. However, the value for Cd was 45 ±17ppb for Iranian and 9.14 ±7 ppb for imported black tea. The average contents of detectable heavy metals were significantly (P

full textInvestigation of Consecutive Separating Arrangements of Bio active Compounds from Black Tea (Camellia sinensis) Residue
Every year lots of black tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) residue will produce in the factories. These residue are unusable whereas the bio active compounds can be extracted and used in the drag and food industries. Due to mentioned problems, this project was conducted years 2011 - 2012 with the aim to make a study on consecutive isolation of all bio active compounds from tea residu...

15 صفحه اولEvaluating the Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Copper levels in certain imported tea samples consumed in Iran
Seven majorly consumed brands of several teas (A1, A2, M1, M2, S, D, and C teas) were selected for the present study. In this study, the heavy metal contents including copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and lead (Pb) were assessed in the black tea samples consumed in Iran. The content of the heavy metals in the samples was analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Notably, the ...
