Barley (Hordeum vulgare), a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally. It is believed to be originated from western Asia or Ethiopia. Barley is the fourth largest grain crop globally, after wheat, rice, and maize corn. Barley is generally used in breads, soups, stews, and health products and sometimes as animal fodder also Exposure of heavy metals to human beings has risen dramatically in the last 50 years.
The study involved analysis of 27 barley flour samples for lead and copper contamination from various regions of India. Out of 27 samples of Barley flour analysed, 15 samples were positive for Lead (Pb) and 26 samples were detected with copper ranged from 0.1211 ppm to 9.4842 ppm
The Barley flour samples collected and analysed are safe for human consumption as they are within the safe limits as prescribed by FSSAI.
Keywords:
Barley flour; heavy metal; Atomic absorption spectrometry; Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu).
