ASSESSMENT OF POTASSIUM BROMATE IN BREAD SOLD IN ABA ABIA STATE

ASSESSMENT OF POTASSIUM BROMATE IN BREAD SOLD IN ABA ABIA STATE (A CASE STUDY OF ABA TOWN)

ABSTRACT

Bread samples were obtained from different locations in Aba environs with random selective sampling and to know their potassium bromate contents (mg/100g). 20 bread samples were used, the results showed that the presence of potassium bromate in each of the 20 bread samples were high for human consumption. The bromate level in bread samples determined range from 74.00 to 952.83. which is above the maximum amount of potassium bromate allowed in bread by food and drug administrative (FDA) (0.02mg/100g)
