Abstract

Background: Malnutrition, poverty, and information scarcity are some of the major issues affecting people in West African region. Thus, it is imperative to divulge nutritional information from a cheap and accessible food (the milk) in the region. Objective: This study aimed at performing a proximate and Zn, Se, Fe and I micronutrients determination in goat and cattle milk in Sokoto, Nigeria. Method: The concentrations of zinc, selenium, iron, iodine present in goat and cattle in Sokoto, Nigeria were determined using standard methods and materials of analytical grade.  Results: The result reveals (< 0.05) Zn, Se, Fe, and I in goat as follows: 9.10 ± 0.05 ppm, 2.32 ± 0.004 ppm, 10.5 ± 0.05 ppm and 7.8 ± 0.01 ppm. In cattle, the concentrations for Zn, Se, and Fe are: 5.12 ± 1.05 ppm, 1.13 ± 0.005 ppm, 9.5 ± 0.02 ppm, and 5.9 ± 0.02 ppm. The proximate values of moisture content, ash content, protein, and fat in milk collected from goat are as follows respectively: 90.21%, 0.56 %, 3.23%, and 2.44%. The proximate values in cattle milk are: 70.11%, 0.50%, 2.11%, 2.11% and 2.21% for water content, ash content, protein content, and fat content respectively. Conclusions: Thus, the goat milk contains higher proximate contents (such as fat, water, carbohydrate, and ash), Zn, Fe, and Se than the cow milk. It is imperative for the public to properly utilize milk for its nutritious benefits.

Abstract

Eggs are important component of human diet worldwide. They provide the human body with diverse array of substances including metal elements. Due to pollution the eggs can incorporate metals at levels that are harmful. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine the levels of Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Cr in eggs in Sokoto, Nigeria and health risk therewith. The metals were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results reveal, significantly (p<0.05) different concentrations of metals in commercial/ exotic and local chicken eggs in Sokoto, Nigeria as follows: The zinc (Local: 35.0 ± 1.5 ppm, Exotic: 30.12 ± 2.6 ppm) metal is the most elevated metal, followed by magnesium (Local:15.0 ± 0.05 ppm, Exotic:10.02 ± 1.5 ppm), then iron (Local: 7.0 ± 0.001 ppm, Exotic: 4.02 ± 0.001 ppm), then calcium (Local: 6.21 ± 0.01 ppm, Exotic: 5.01 ± 0.005 ppm). Others lower levels of metals are recorded by chromium (Local: 3.01 ± 0.05 ppm, Exotic: 4.51 ± 0.05 ppm), cadmium (0.061 ± 0.001 ppm detected in Exotic), and lead (Local: 0.05 ± 0.002 ppm, Exotic: 0.20 ± 0.002 ppm). The levels of essential metals found in eggs in this study are low, and levels of Cr, Cd, and Pb in exotic eggs are elevated. Similarly, health risk assessment result shows a public health concern. Care needs to be taken when consuming eggs by the public.

Abstract

Nitrate, cyanide, and flavonoids are among the chemicals that threatens hormones especially the thyroid gland and in turn affecting the body. Their presence in tobacco and cigarette shall be determine to inform the public. The objective of this work was to determine the extent of nitrate, cyanide, and flavonoids in soil and tobacco from Sokoto, Nigeria using standard methods. The results determined by this work indicated varied levels of goitrogens (cyanide, nitrate, and flavonoids) present in soils and tobacco leaves grown in three different points within Sokoto state, Nigeria (namely, Sokoto city, Gwadabawa, and Illela). 100.21±6.12 -705.10±4.60ppm, ppm 136± 6.10-170.30±3.36ppm, 7.10±0.3-17.0±0.11ppm are range values of cyanide, nitrate, and flavonoids respectively obtained in soils in Sokoto state. Likewise, 90.0±2.16-500.0±1.3ppm, 70.11±3.9-120.0±10.3ppm, 6.2±0.5-25.11±0.05ppm are the ranges of cyanide, nitrate, and flavonoids respectively determined in tobacco leaves in Sokoto state, Nigeria. There exist elevated levels of the goitrogens in soils and tobacco in Sokoto, therefore, risking the consumers and non-consumers to iodine deficiency.
