The concentration of the PAHs was highest in pork followed by
beef stripes and then chicken fillets. The high PAH in pork may not
be unconnected with the amount of fat in pork. The aromatization
of lipid and fat content of meat during heat processing and treatment
also leads to the formation of PAH (Chen & Yan, 1986). This
probably explains the higher PAH concentrations in pork than in
beef stripes and chicken fillets (being the lean meat) which measured
the lowes
