This review presents methods for the assessment of acute and chronic risk from pesticide residues in food. Multiple pesticide residues can often be found in food. Currently, there is no internationally accepted procedure for the assessment of cumulative exposure to multiple pesticide residues in food. Therefore, risk assessment is based on toxicological evaluation of single compounds in a food ...

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...

Data generated in the UK have indicated that pesticide residue levels can be highly variable between the individual fruit or vegetables from the same crop or lot in trade. Statistical experiments with these data showed that residues in composite samples, taken according to Codex recommendations, are unlikely to differ by more than a factor of 3-4 from the mean level in the lot. This was corrobo...

background: the presence of antibacterial drug residues in food caused many concerns for consumers. this study was designed to determine of antibacterial drug residues in commercial eggs distributed in urmia, iran.  methods: disc diffusion microbial inhibition test was performed using three media seeded with bacillus subtilis at different ph values (6, 7.2 or 8) and a fourth medium seeded with ...

antibacterial drugs used in animal might result in deposition of residues in meat, milk and eggs. the presence of antimicrobial residues in animal-originated food is critical problem in many countries over the years. because, drug residues might result in various health hazards, both actual incidence of reactions and potential hazards perceived by the public, the most countries assess residue o...
