Abstract

In the present study, the fluoride (F) concentration, estimated daily intake (EDI), and non-carcinogenic risk of different fruit juices were determined. A total of 135 fruit juice samples from different brands and fruit types (cherry, orange, grape, apple, pineapple, and peach) were analyzed for fluoride concentration levels by using an ion selective electrode. The range of the fluoride concentration of the fruit juice samples was 0.00–0.444 mg.L-1 with a mean value of 0.069 mg.L-1. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the fluoride concentration levels of some examined fruit juice brands as well as the fruit types. There was no statistically significant difference between the pH and F concentrations in the juice samples. The hazard quotient (HQ) for the different age groups showed that there was no significant risk for consumers from consuming fruit juice. However, the fluoride intake from other drinks containing a high level of fluoride should be considered when estimating the total daily fluoride intake from drinking, especially for those in warm regions with a high level of drink consumption. © 2020, International Society for Fluoride Research.
