The findings presented in this research shed light on the critical issue of trace metal contamination in singed hides, and also has provided valuable insights into the comparative analysis of trace metal content in hides singed with scrap car tires versus those singed with hot water. Cadmium was not detected in all tested samples. Similarly, copper concentrations displayed a decrease of 23% in scrap car tire singed goat meat AS compared to hot water singed goat meat AU, thus, indicating potential interactions between cooking methods and trace metal release.
