Determination of the level of trace elements (copper, lead, cadmium, zinc) and the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in some frozen meat imported in Tikrit markets

This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the chemical composition and pollution resulting in some heavy metals, as well as determining the level of cholesterol and triglycerides imported in eight types of imported meat in Tikrit markets. The results of the study showed that there were significant differences p < 0.05 in the humidity level, as it recorded the highest level of moisture in samples The sausage was 73% (%) compared to other samples, while protein and fat, as well as ash, had high rates. In this study, the element of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) showed the concentration of lead and copper in Gum and chicken liver have the highest proportions with a lead score of 3.81 3.74 (ppm) while copper (1.70, 2.92) ppm compared to other samples, as well as for camium and zinc, recorded high levels, and the highest level of cadmium was (2.46) ppm in chicken liver, while zinc recorded its highest level ( 4.97, 4.48) ppm in both chicken liver and meat burger, and cholesterol and triglycerides also recorded significant differences between samples used in the study p < 0.05 as the highest level of cholesterol (126.23, 127.40) reached in both sadomasochore and flesh couplers In other samples, the triglyceride level reached its highest level (113.50) in meat burger.
