What methods are used for the identification and quantification of pesticide residues on domestic and imported foods?

UFZ researchers develop model to assess toxic residues in soil

Counterfeiting is a huge global problem affecting nearly every industry and product type

Those applying pesticides and producing foods that have been treated with pesticides must follow specific rules

Food contaminants and adulterants fall under many categories, all with significant potential to adversely affect brands, profits, and health

The many variables involved in pesticide use presents special challenges when it comes to food safety analysis.

Scientists recreate natural insect repellent.

Research associated with the development of new agricultural pesticide formulations centers around the design of products that provide highly effective and specific action towards the target organism with reduced application rates. It is estimated that 30% of the pesticides on the market today have optical isomers. However, the desired activities often result from one single enantiomer in the optical isomer mixtures.

In this application note we have shown the analysis of chiral pesticides using ACQUITY UPC2. 

This application note from Shimadzu will show you a quick and easy way to screen for residual pesticides in food.
