[ 1 ] - Spiked Calibration Curve: A Valid Method for Simultaneous Analysis of Pesticides in Melon Using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)

Recently, with increasing public awareness of food safety, developments of some valid and rapidly analytical methods are required for the determination of residual pesticides in crops.This study was conducted on validation of a reliable, accurate and precise method for multi analysis of pesticides residue in melon as a main fruit in Iranian food basket. A reliable, and valid method...

[ 2 ] - Exposure Assessment for Some Pesticides through Rice Consumption in Iran Using a Multiresidue Analysis by GC-MS

In communities which consume rice as main food, importance of risk assessment forcontaminants is always taken into consideration by health authorities. The present study isan attempt for monitoring of 56 pesticides from different chemical groups in rice samplescollected from local markets in Tehran and estimation of daily intake of interested pesticidesthrough this monitoring. A valid method ba...

[ 3 ] - A Multi Residue GC-MS Method for Determination of 12 Pesticides in Cucumber

Cucumber is one of the main vegetables in Iranian food basket. A wide range of pesticides are used for crops protection during the cultivation of vegetables such as cucumber due to heavy pest infestation. Analysis of pesticide residues in food and other environmental commodities have become essential requirement for consumers, producers, and food quality control authorities. This study was aime...

[ 4 ] - Simultaneous Determination of 17 Pesticide Residues in Rice by GC/MS using a Direct Sample Introduction Procedure and Spiked Calibration Curves

A reliable, rapid and accurate method based on spiked calibration curves and direct sample introduction was developed for determination of 17 pesticide residues in rice by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry single quadrupole selected ion monitoring GC/MS-SQ-SIM. Sample preparation is based on extraction with acetonitrile without clean up. The use of spiked calibration curves for constructing...

[ 5 ] - Effect of Cooking Process on the Residues of Three Carbamate Pesticides in Rice

A gas chromatography mass spectrometry with spike calibration curve method was used to quantify three carbamate pesticides residue in cooked white rice and to estimate the reduction percentage of the cooking process duration. The selected pesticides are three carbamate pesticides including carbaryl and pirimicarb that their MRL is issued by “The Institute of Standards of Iran” and propoxur whic...

[ 10 ] - Simultaneous Analysis of Metabolite Residues from Degradation of Dithiocarbamates in Cereals Using Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Background and Objectives: Dithiocarbamates are groups of fungicides used to control pests of agricultural products. Analysis of these pesticides with liquid and gas chromatography instruments is associated with various problems due to the presence of metal groups in the structure of these compounds. Therefore, one of the ways for analysis the pesticides is to check the level of decomposition...
