Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food

A Review of Pesticide Residues in Agricultural and Food Products of Iran

Background & Objectives: The implementation of pest control strategies is essential for reducing food waste and providing fresh safe food product. However, the excessive and uncontrolled usage of pesticides have caused serious environmental and health problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of pesticide residues in food products in Iran via exploring the relevant published wor...

Safety Evaluation of Pesticide Residues in Food

Catalytic antibodies: Like enzyme nomenclature, it is proposed that the nomenclature of catalytic antibodies should be based on the reaction catalysed, rather than on structural features. As more than one different ‘abzyme’ catalysing the same general reaction may be produced, there is clearly a possibility for confusion. However, the catalytic behaviour and specificities may not be identical. ...

Electrochemical Immunosensor for Pesticide Residues Detection in Food Analysis

Electrochemical immunosensors have emerged as a highly sensitive and rapid technique for chemical contaminants detection in environmental monitoring, food safety and quality control. This review concentrates on recent advances made in detection and quantification of chemical contaminants such as pesticides and antibiotics residues with electrochemical immunosensors. In this paper, the preparati...

Pesticide Residues in Food and Cancer Risk: A Critical Analysis

Possible cancer hazards from pesticide residues in food have been much discussed and hotly debated in the scientific literature, the popular press, the political arena, and the courts. Consumer opinion surveys indicate that much of the U.S. public believes that pesticide residues in food are a serious cancer hazard (Opinion Research Corporation, 1990). In contrast, epidemiologic studies indicat...
