On account of its deleterious effect and carcinogenicity in humans, certain levels of potassium bromate are not allowed in bread. The use of potassium bromate in bread is banned in many countries including Nigeria. The present evaluation was carried out in the eastern part of Nigeria where consumption of bread is high. Twenty-three different brands of breads were sampled. Quality assessment shows that all the brands contained potassium bromate in a quantity that exceeded the minimum allowed by the FDA. In addition, all the sampled breads contained trace amounts of lead, a substance that is harmful to health. On the basis of these, all twenty-three bread brands sampled were considered unsafe for human consumption and bread makers should be discouraged from using potassium bromate as a bread improver....Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
