Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometery Detection of Heavy Metals in Milk ofCamel, Cattle, Buffalo and Goat from Various Areas of Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa(KPK), Pakistan

TLDR
In this paper, the authors highlighted the importance of seven heavy metals residual concentration including Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn in milk of Camel, Cattle, Buffalo, Sheep and Goat from various areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan.
Abstract
The determination of the seven elements was performed by Perkin Elmer Atomic Absorption (AA) spectrophotometer. The present study highlights the importance of seven heavy metals residual concentration including Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn in milk of Camel, Cattle, Buffalo, Sheep and Goat from various areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. It revealed that milk of camel comprising of high levels of Zn (5.150 ± 0.021 mg/kg), Mn (0.094 ± 0.003 mg/kg) and Fe (1.580 ± 0.530 mg/kg) with a definite correlation. In the milk of buffalo, high concentration of noxious heavy metals including Cu (0.223 ± 0.010 mg/kg) and Cd (0.117 ± 0.086 mg/kg) were found whereas in goat milk, high Ni (1.152 ± 0.045 mg/kg) and Cr (1.152 ± 0.045 mg/kg) was observed and detected. The analysis showed that camel and buffalo have similar high concentration of heavy metals. Overall results showed that milk of cattle shows higher concentration of Zn, Mn and Fe along with Buffalo.

Chemical composition of raw milk and heavy metals behavior during processing of milk products.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical composition and metal contents of whole buffalo's and cow's milk as well as dairy products manufactured from them were analyzed for chemical composition, and the results showed that buffalo's milk showed higher levels of fat (4.9%), total protein (3.6%), total solids (13.4%) and ash (0.76%) than cow's water than cow water.
