| Abstract | The aim of this study was to perform a short characterization of heavy metals and mineral nutrients concentration in poultry liver samples with macroscopic lesions and their possible effect on food safety. Thirty-eight poultry liver samples with macroscopic lesions were submitted to analysis. Heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Al) and mineral nutrients (Cr, Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, K, Na) were determined by ICP-MS. The concentrations for heavy metals ranged from 0,1 to 1,29 mg/kg for Cd, 0,02 to 0,08 mg/kg for Pb and 0,13 to 8,85 mg/kg Al. For mineral nutrients, concentrations ranged from 0,13 to 2,66 mg/kg for Cr; 0.24 to 1,08 mg/kg for Mn; 0.74 to 2,92mg/kg for Cu; 14,11 to 54,65 mg/kg for Fe; 4,37 to 17,86 mg/kg for Zn, 43,2 to 199,51 mg/kg for Ca, 78,35 to 275,81 mg/kg for Mg, 989,54 to 3108,65 mg/kg for K, 276,28 to 1059,16 mg/kg for Na. Although it is known that people ingest heavy metals from animal products, the concentrations obtained in this study showed that there is no risk for human health linked to the consumption of poultry liver. |
