摘要
This study reports the nitrate level of 22 vegetables species collected from 40 farms in several locations of an intensive agricultural area in two regions of Tunisia (Sousse and Monastir). Nitrate levels ranged between 57 and 2970mgkg(1). The highest and the lowest levels were found in turnip and tomato, respectively. Only five species (potato, field bean, cauliflower, pea and artichoke) had exceeded the norms established by the World Health Organization. Factors influencing nitrate accumulation in some vegetables were analyzed and discussed. It was observed that nitrate contents in vegetables varied depending on the type of vegetables, genetic factor, level of nitrogen fertilization and soil nitrogen content.
