AB  - In this study, total number of 160 canned tuna fish samples 
  were investigated the presence and levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in four brands 
  (A, B, C, D) of canned tuna fish samples which were collected from Ankara region, 
  Turkey. Additionally, the salt amount, pH value and drain weight level for each 
  sample were determined. Quantitative analysis of BPA in samples was carried 
  out by solid phase extraction method followed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography 
  (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. The mean levels of BPA in the analysed canned 
  fish samples were determined as 0.45±0.09, 0.31±0.09, 0.45±0.09 
  and 2.33&plusmn;0.09 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> for A, B, C, D brands, respectively. 
  According to the findings of this study, it was determined that the mean BPA 
  values of the samples except for the values obtained from D brand were below 
  the Turkish Food Codex (TFC) values (0.6 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP>). Furthermore, the 
  pH values and salt amounts were in accordance with Turkish Standart Instute 
  (TSI) values for all brands. However, mean of drain weight found in all brands 
  were lower than the TSI value. In conclusion, some samples obtained during the 
  period of the study are determined to have high levels of BPA. Therefore, the 
  steps in all food processing should be monitored for preventing the BPA contamination.
