Abstract EN

Concentration of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in eighteen baked bread samples using gas oven toasting were evaluated in this study.

Samples were classified into the following categories: (1) bread baked from white wheat flour, (2) bread baked from brown wheat flour, and (3) sandwich bread baked from white wheat flour.

Analysis was performed by GC-MS after Soxhlet extraction of the sample and clean up of the extract.

The levels of B[a]P was not detected in ten of eighteen samples.

In the rest of the samples, B[a]P are varied from 2.83 to 16.54 μg/kg.

B[a]A, CHR, B[b]FA, B[k] FA, IP, DB[a,h]A, and B[ghi]P concentrations were found to be less than 10.0 μg/kg.

However, B[a]P are not detected in original white and brown wheat flour.

The total PAHs were varied in the range 1.06–44.24 μg/kg and 3.08–278.66 μg/kg for H-PAH and L-PAH, respectively.

Reproducibility and repeatability of the proposed method was calculated and presented in terms of recovery and relative standard deviations (RSD, %).

Recoveries were varied from 72.46% to 99.06% with RSD ± 0.28–15.01% and from 82.39% to 95.01% with RSD ±1.91–13.01% for repeatability and reproducibility, respectively.

Different commercialized samples of toasted bread were collected and analyzed.
