Abstract

Cooking is a process that could reduce the contamination level of toxic chemicals such polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in several foodstuffs. However, this effect depends largely on the cooking process (grilling or frying), cooking material selection (charcoal, gas or wood), type of toxicant and the specific food item. This review discussed in detail pertaining to the effect of cooking and addition of food additives on the toxicant levels in foodstuff.
