Pesticide Residues: Organochlorines
2014Organochlorinated pesticides, such as dichlorodiphenylethanes, hexachlorocyclohexanes, cyclodienes, hexachlorobenzene, chlordecone, and mirex, are persistent lipophilic compounds that tend to bioaccumulate in food chain. Because of their high vapor pressure, they may be transported long distances by air currents.

Pesticide Residues: Dithiocarbamates
2014Dithiocarbamates are synthetic organic compounds containing sulfur and often a sulfur-bound metal, some of which are used to protect fruits and vegetables from fungal infections. Exposure of the general population results from occasional residues in foodstuff.

Pesticide Residues in Marketed Sesame
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1998Pesticides are chemicals used to enhance food production. While this factor remains important in the food industry, pesticides are also known to induce toxic effects in humans and animals. This, in part, is due to their stability in food processing (Dewailly et al. 1993; Gunn and Stevens 1976).

Pesticide residues in human milk
Food and Cosmetics Toxicology, 1981Abstract A total of 154 samples of human milk collected 3–6 days after parturition were obtained from four hospitals in Quebec. Samples were analysed by electron-capture gas-liquid chromatography for total DDT (DDT + DDE), aldrin, γ-HCH (lindane) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Pesticide residues in Australian meat
Veterinary Record, 1989On several occasions in 1987 Australian meat was reported by overseas countries to contain unacceptable levels of pesticide residues. Investigations revealed that the residues were mainly the organochlorine compounds DDT, dieldrin and heptachlor, the concentrations of which exceeded the maximum residue limits. The organochlorines had accumulated in the

Immunosensors for detection of pesticide residues
Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2008Immunosensors are biosensors that use antibodies or antigens as the specific sensing element and provide concentration-dependent signals. There is great potential in the applications of immunosensing technologies for rapid detection of pesticide residues in food and environment.

Pesticide Residues in Prune Processing
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1998Prunes are processed in three phases: washing, drying, and rehydration, which is performed immediately before packing. The entire drying process was subdivided into six steps. In this paper each of these steps was studied separately in order to determine which could be accountable for residue changes.

Pesticides residues in food in Switzerland
Science of The Total Environment, 1993Every year, official Swiss laboratories are involved in the analysis of about 8000 food commodities in the context of pesticide residue surveys. Between 90 to 100 different active ingredients are found normally in total foodstuffs analysed and more than 6% of the investigated samples have a contamination level exceeding the federal tolerance limits. No

Pesticide residues in black tea
Zeitschrift f�r Lebensmittel-Untersuchung und -Forschung, 1986An investigation of residues of organochlorine and organophosphorous pesticides, as well as of a number of fungicides and of inorganic bromide in 99 samples of black tea taken on the Danish market is reported. The type of pesticide residues involved appear to be very uniform within each country of origin, whereas there are distinct differences between ...
