| Abstract | ||||
| This study was conducted to detection of heavy metals and its biocontrol by probiotic strain enterococcus faecium M74.A grand total of 120 random samples of meat products represented by beef burger, beef sausage, beef minced meat and beef kofta (30 of each) were collected from different supermarkets located in Cairo and Giza governorate. The average of lead, cadmium and arsenic levels (ppm) were 0.13 ± 0.01,0.07 ± 0.01 and 0.04 ± 0.01in the examined beef minced meat, respectively,0.24 ± 0.01, 0.11 ± 0.01 and 0.04 ± 0.01 in the examined beef kofta, respectively, 0.21 ± 0.01, 0.18 ± 0.01 and zero in the examined beef burger, respectively and 0.36 ± 0.02, 0.16 ± 0.02 and 0.10 ± 0.02 in the examined beef sausage, respectively. The E. faecium strain (M74) removed lead and cadmium efficiently from the minced meat. Lead content (50 ppm) in the group treated with E. facieum (M74) showed reduction after 8, 16 and 24 hrs of incubation, their reduction rate was 66.4%, 73% and 82.6%, respectively. While, cadmium content (10ppm) in the group treated with E. facieum (M74) showed reduction after 8, 16 and 24 hrs of incubation, their reduction rate was 59%, 67% and 71%, respectively. | ||||
