Safety of agricultural products: multicomponent determination of pesticide residues in cereals

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...

Pesticide Residues in Bee Products

"The man has no divine right over the food. He must compete for this with weeds, diseases, insects and other organisms” (Grodner, 1996). With the above quote, Grodner clearly reflects the situation in the area production and processing of food. More than 10.000 species of insects and mites, 1.500 species of fungi and 600 plant species have been identified as harmful to agriculture (Grodner, 199...

Possibilities of the Determination of Multicomponent Pesticide Residues in Food by Mass Spectrometric Techniques

Determination of Pesticide Residues in Drainage Water

Pesticides are used worldwide within agriculture to protect crops and ensure the quantity and quality of the harvest. However, intensive and inappropriate pesticides application can directly or indirectly affect different parts of the environment, especially water source. Besides the occurrence of pesticides in drinking water, control of pesticide presence in surface and groundwater is also ver...

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. ...
