Materials and Methods: In 60 samples (20 of each spice sample) obtained from herbal shops and markets, aflatoxin analysis was done with HPLC device and heavy metal analysis was done with ICP-MS device. Results: Although AFG1 and AFG2 were not detected in all spice samples, AFB1 and AFB2 were not detected in all cumin samples, AFB1 was detected in all red pepper samples and only one black pepper samples, and AFB2 in 18 red pepper samples. As a result of heavy metal analysis, the average concentration of Ni, Cd, Pb and Al were 5.08, 0.35, 2.47, 392.45 ppm in black pepper, 9.12, 0.20, 1.40, 514.4 ppm in cumin and 8.95, 0.06, 0.11, 33.75 ppm in red pepper, respectively. Arsenic was detected only in cumin and its average concentration was 0.06 ppm. Conclusion: In 90% (18 samples) of red pepper samples, AFB1 was detected above the permisisble limit value in Turkish food codex. The Cd level in black pepper samples and Ni levels in all spice samples determined in this study were above the limit values. According to daily intake tolerance limits, although Ni, As, and Cd levels in spices do not pose any risk, Al in all spice samples and Pb levels in black pepper samples are above the daily intake tolerance limits. Spice samples do not pose risk of non-carcinogenic effects, as THQ exposure values are less than 1.","PeriodicalId":247163,"journal":{"name":"Balıkesır Health Sciences Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121988665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The beekeeping sector has been rapidly advancing towards industrialization both in our country and around the world. It is rapidly progressing towards becoming an additional income especially for families located in rural areas. Honey should be clean and healthy by nature. As in other living things including humans, various pesticides and antibiotics are used against viral, bacterial, fungal and ectoparasites in honeybees, although their use is prohibited. Therefore, there is a drug residue problem in bee products, especially honey, in our country and in the world. At this point, both bee health and human health are adversely affected. In order to prevent this situation, people working in the health sector, especially veterinarians, have great duties. First of all, beekeeper should be made aware, and researchers should accelerate their efforts to find the most appropriate treatment methods against honey bee diseases by researching natural treatment methods instead of pesticides and antibiotics. These studies should be supported by both the state and the private sector.","PeriodicalId":247163,"journal":{"name":"Balıkesır Health Sciences Journal","volume":"15 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132324636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
