Determination of heavy metals in Canned fruits and vegetables sold in Jordan market
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018Co-Authors: Adnan M. Massadeh, “ayat Allah” T. Al-massaedhAbstract:In this study, the concentrations of selected heavy metals including Pb, Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu, As, and Cd in different brands of Canned vegetables and fruits including Canned tomato sauce (ketchup), Canned green beans, Canned whole carrots, and Canned Juice (pineapple) imported to Jordanian market were determined by acid digestion and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Samples were collected from popular Jordanian markets, Irbid city, Northern Jordan (11 samples of each type). The metal concentrations in the samples analyzed were found to be in the range of 2.6–3.0 mg/kg for Pb, 0.50–0.60 mg/kg for Cd, 2.50–5.10 mg/kg for As, 0.84–0.91 mg/kg for Cu, 0.32–3.02 mg/kg for Zn, 0.66–1.71 mg/kg for Cr, and 0.97–2.94 mg/kg for Ni. The results obtained showed that Pb and As have the highest concentrations in the most of samples analyzed, whereas, the lowest concentrations obtained were mainly in Cd. For example, in Canned tomato sauce, the average concentrations of heavy metals are 3.50 mg/kg for As, 0.50 mg/kg for Cd, 0.66 mg/kg for Cr, 0.89 mg/kg for Cu, 1.15 mg/kg for Ni, 2.95 mg/kg for Pb, and 1.02 mg/kg for Zn. The results of this study reveal that the concentration of some toxic heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Ni, As, and Cd) in Canned vegetable and fruit samples being sold in Jordanian markets exceeded the permissible limits set by different health organizations.

Assessment of Nutritional Status and Signs of Growth among Bullying School Children
Psychology, 2019Co-Authors: El-sayeda G. E. El-sahar, Hala R. A. SopeahAbstract:Nutritional status is one of the indicators of the quality mental and physical for children. Assessment of physical growth is one of the important tools for assessing nutrition status for children, especially bully children. Bullying is the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another individual, physically, mentally, or emotionally over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems. The aim of our study is to assess nutritional intake and anthropometric statuses in bullying Schoolchildren (9 - 12 years old) and determine nutritional adequacy with Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs). The study was conducted on 50 males and 50 females (9 - 12 years) suffering from bullying and was diagnosed by bullying behavioral scale (BBS), and investigated nutritional status by using 24 hours recall, diet history, food habits, anthropometric measurements and clinical signs. The most important results were: approximately more than 50% of study sample didn’t eat breakfast, 1 - 3 snacks/day, Canned Juice/day and soft drinks/day. Nutrient intake was lower than recommended in protein, fiber, water, vit D, vit E, folic acid, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, omega 3, taurine and choline. About 50% and 36% from males and females, respectively had underweight; 10% of males had obesity; besides, total sample had normal measure upper arm circumference (MUAC). About 45% of the total sample had moderate malnutrition. The highest percentage for clinical sign of the sample was loss teeth by 33%; then 20% had white spots nails and 19% had a stuttering speech, while the smallest percentage was bleeding gums by 5% for bullying children. Conclusion: Bully school children had deficiency in some nutrients, some bad eating habits and some growth problems; our results suggest follow healthy eating habits, nutritional intervention for bullying children and nutritional adequacies to help improve behavioral bullying status.

A Prototype of Multi-Enzymatic Sensors for Sucrose Determination
Biosensors '94, 1994Co-Authors: K. Kanokjaruwijit, C. Hruanun, Werasak Surareungchai, T. Suwannakum, P. Sritongkam, M. Tanticharoen, K. KirtikaraAbstract:This chapter discusses a prototype of a multienzymatic sensor for sucrose determination. The amperometric sucrose biosensor was constructed for food and drink industries. This prototype composed of the microprocessor analysis system, the potentiostat (± 1.999 V) and the enzyme electrode. The enzyme electrode could be stored longer than 12 months. For continuing use, 80% of its initial activity remained during 18 h of 100 measurements. To eliminate the interference of glucose, glucose electrode was included in the system. The bi-electrode system was used satisfactory if glucose did not exceed 10 mM. The sensors were tested in several industries such as sweetened condensed milk industry, Canned Juice industry etc.
