Polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH) are highly toxic and carcinogenic to humans and animals. In
terms of safe food production, the formation and levels of these compounds in
commercial pomegranate sauces are important. This study was carried out on
eight different pomegranate sauces sold in Turkey. Thirteen PAH analyzes were
performed with High Performance Liquid Chromatography-UV detector (HPLC-UV).
Pre-concentration of PAHs was performed by a simple, precise and low cost solid
phase extraction (SPE) technique for eight different pomegranate sauces
samples. Extracts of pomegranate sauce samples obtained under optimum SPE
conditions were then analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC-UV detector. Results
indicated that the total amounts of PAHs varied from 1.5 mg/L to 16.6 mg/L.
