Abstract

Potassium Bromate is considered as a genotoxic carcinogen and an active agent which causes thyroid related problems. Potassium Bromate is used in the bread, pizza and burger food products to strengthen the dough and its elasticity. The countries like European Union, China, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Canada, Brazil, Peru and Colombia have banned the use of this toxic chemical as a flour treatment agent. But India allows the use of Potassium Bromate up to 50 ppm on flour mass basis. Our study is focussed on the determination of Potassium Bromate content in different bread samples of different brands available in Indian Market. Potassium Bromate was extracted from each sample and its concentration is determined by using UV-Visible spectroscopy. It was found that the concentration of Potassium Bromate in the samples is in between 8 to 30.75 ppm.
