Abstract
Abstract
In Algeria, the data and research on the essential and toxic chemical elements in food are limited and insufficient, therefore the present study focused on evaluating the essential and toxic elements content in different 11 brands with two types (tomato and oil) of canned tuna fish, sold in Algeria in 2022, by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), while Mercury (Hg) levels were determined by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry, as well as estimate the probabilistic risk assessment. The element in canned tuna fish commercialized for human consumption in Algeria as (Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn and As) were determined by ICP-OES methods, while, the toxic elements of Mercury (Hg) levels were determined by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The levels of mineral elements concentration were close to the minimum recommended by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The data obtunded in this work has a rich of mineral elements. Data analyses obtunded for this investigation can be suitable for Algerian food purposes.
