Abstract A general method for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and a specific procedure for benzo(a)pyrene in various total diet composites (dairy products; oils, fats, and shortenings; beverages; meat, fish, and poultry; and root vegetables) have been developed. Recoveries ranged from 75 to 100% at the 2 ppb level. Pyrene and fluoranthene were found to be present in all of the total diet samples analyzed. Trace quantities of benzo ( a ) pyrene, benzo(k)- fluoranthene, benzo ( b ) fluoranthene, and other hydrocarbons were isolated from various lots of the oils, fats, and shortenings composites.

Abstract A method for the isolation and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in smoked foods has been developed. The compounds are extracted with ethanol, saponified with potassium hydroxide in a Soxhlet apparatus, concentrated, diluted with water, and extracted with a hydrocarbon solvent. The polycyclic hydrocarbons are isolated by partition, paper, and thin layer chromatography and measured by ultraviolet and spectrophotofiuorometric procedures. Average recoveries of benzo(a)- pyrene, dibenz(a,h) anthracene, benz(a)- anthracene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, added to 500 g samples of frankfurters, cheese, and fish at levels of 2 ppb, ranged from 70 to 88%. The carcinogen, benzo(a)- pyrene, was isolated from smoked fish and ham samples at levels varying from 0.8 to 3.2 ppb.
