This study was carried out to determine the pesticide residue levels and health risk assessments in tomato, pepper, cucumber grown Tokat province of Turkey. A analytical method verified 260 pesticides by using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Pesticide solutions at 10 50 µg kg­¹ doses were fortified with pesticide-free matrix for verification method. The linearities ...

The demand for sustainable alternative construction materials to cement in modern technology cannot be underemphasized. This paper presents a non-fired green brick with an agriculture residue namely, rice husk. Although, high plasticity brown clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and rice husk is a well known agriculture residue, research works on non-fired green brick with rice husk...

Aiming to introduce a multiresidue analysis for the trace detection of pesticide residues belonging to organophosphorus and triazine classes from olive oil samples, a new sample preparation methodology comprising the use of a dual layer of "tailor-made" molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) SPE for the simultaneous extraction of both pesticides in a single procedure has been attempted. This wor...

The widespread use of antibiotics in veterinary practice and aquaculture has led to the increase of antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens that may be transferred to humans. Global concern is reflected in the regulations from different agencies that have set maximum permitted residue limits on antibiotics in different food matrices of animal origin. Sensitive and selective methods are...

We assessed ampicillin (ABPC) concentrations of liver, kidney and skin at a 2-day withdrawal period in ten male and ten female White Leghorn chickens fed the diet containing ABPC (ABPC medicated feed 40 mg/kg body weight/day) for a week. The ABPC residues were measured with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and the mean recoveries and quantitation limits ranged from 93.0% to 102.7%...

A new transducer based on a screen-printed carbon electrode has been developed for the quantification of thiram. Detection this fungicide is performance two enzymes: (1) aldehyde dehydrogenase catalyzes oxidation using NAD+ as cofactor and simultaneously, (2) diaphorase reoxidizes NADH formed in first enzymatic process due to presence hexacyanoferrate(III) which reduced hexacyanoferrate(II). Ta...

Anthelmintics, such as benzimidazoles and probenzimidazoles, are veterinary drugs used against endoparasites in food producing animals. A number of these drugs are considered responsible for embryotoxicity and teratogenicity. The residue levels of Albendazole, Febantel, Fenbendazole, Mebendazole and some of their metabolites (Albendazole sulphoxide, Albendazole sulphone, Fenbendazole sulfone) w...

Pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables are one of the highest concerns of consumers who need food safety. In this study, forty-eight pesticide residues from different chemical structure including organochlorine, organophosphorus, organonitrogen, dicarboximides, strobilurin, triazine, pyrethroids and other chemical groups. in 85 fruits and vegetables were determined and confirmed by GC-MS. ...
