POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS IN THE ORGANIC PHASE EXTRACTED FROM CHARCOAL FOR BARBECUE
ABSTRACT Charcoal is a widely used product for barbecue, however, its quality for said use has not been well studied. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of carcinogenic compounds that can be present in charcoal. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the organic phase extr...
