- Abstract
The present research work was carried out on formation of eight small (naphthalene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluorene, flouranthene, pyrene and benzo[α] pyrene) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in wood charcoal grilled five organs (fore legs, hind legs, chest, heart and liver) of teddy goat. The PAHs were extracted from grilled tissue by using n-hexane and were purified by using column chromatography. The identification of these 8 PAHs was done using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) by comparing the retention time of unknown compounds with that of standard compounds. The results verified that all the wood charcoal grilled organs showed high concentration of the titled eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as compared with the corresponding control ones. The hind leg demonstrated maximum concentration (6.75 ng/g) of phenanthrene and 6.04 ng/g of acenaphthene. The minimum concentration of benzo(a)pyrene was formed in liver – 0.09 ng/g. The commutative level of titled 8 PAHs in each grilled organ was found to be maximum (30.39 ng/g) in hind leg whereas was observed minimum 1.31 ng/g in the grilled liver. Similarly pyrene was not detected in wood charcoal grilled liver which might be assumed to be due to low detection limit or some other environmental factor or error.
