ABSTRACT
Chromium has been known to be a micronutrient for mammals for more than four decades. But progress in elucidating the role of Chromium has proceeded slowly. However, recent studies have shown a potential role of Chromium in maintaining proper Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism at the molecular level. This study quantitatively determined the level of chromium in meat products, fruits and drinks. Sample (Meat products, fruits and Drinks), were purchased from Zaria market and environs for the study. A 5.0 gm quantity of each of the samples was treated to a wet digestion method. Concentration of Chromium in the samples was determined using TAS 990 Intec Roma model of atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed that, significant (p< 0.05) levels of Chromium were detected in all the meat products and at level higher than the 0.002 mg/l FAO guideline and the 0.02-0.52 mg/l, WHO report of level of chromium in meat products. Highest level of chromium 0.865 ± 0.001 mg/l (Mean ± S.E.M) was detected in Chicken, while lowest level of Chromium 0.013 ± 0.000mg/L (Mean ± S. E.M) in watermelon. Chromium was detected in all the samples except Lipton tea.
