Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) composition of mesquite (Prosopis fuliflora) smoke and grilled beef
Journal Article

· J. Agric. Food Chem.; (United States)
The major component of mesquite wood was lignin (63.96%) whereas hickory only contained 17.66% lignin. A total of 31 individual PAH having a composite concentration of 1250 ..mu..g/kg of wood was measured in condensed mesquite wood smoke. Corresponding values for condensed hickory wood smoke were 22 and 688 ..mu..g/kg, respectively. Beef patties containing 30% fat and grilled over mesquite wood had 24 PAH at a total concentration of 549 ..mu..g/kg of meat while the same beef cooked over hardwood charcoal had 16 PAH representing 68..mu..g/kg. Decreasing the fat content also decreased the number and amount of measurable PAH.
