Safe Food Consumption with Pesticide Residue Analysis

Why Pesticide Detection is Important for Safe Food Consumption

Pesticides, which are used to increase agricultural production and combat pests, can pose a risk to human health when used unconsciously or excessively. At this point, pesticide residue analysis stands out as one of the most effective ways to determine whether the food that reaches our tables is safe for our health.

What is Pesticide Residue Analysis?

Pesticide residue analysis is a laboratory test that detects harmful chemical residues in agricultural products such as vegetables, fruits, and grains. This analysis identifies products containing pesticide residues above legal limits and prevents them from reaching consumers.

Why is it important?

Pesticide residues can have serious long-term effects on human health, such as cancer, hormonal disorders, and nervous system diseases. Therefore, it is crucial that both producers and consumers are aware of this issue and that products are analyzed regularly.

How Does the Analysis Process Work?

Pesticide residue analysis is conducted using methods that comply with international standards. High-sensitivity devices such as gas chromatography (GC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS) can detect hundreds of different pesticide types simultaneously.

What is the AOAC 2007.01 Standard?

Analytical methods used in food safety must be based on international standards in terms of accuracy and reliability. The AOAC 2007.01 standard is an important reference recognized worldwide, especially for pesticide residue analysis in agricultural products, which are widely used in agriculture.

What Products Does the AOAC 2007.01 Standard Apply to?

This standard is particularly applicable to:

• Vegetables and fruits
• Grains
• Plant products

Other agricultural products for pesticide residue analysis.
