  1. Validation and assessment of matrix effect and uncertainty of a gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry method for pesticides in papaya and avocado samples

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • In this paper a method of using the “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe” (QuEChERS) extraction and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry detection (GC–MS) was developed for the analysis of five frequently applied pesticides in papaya and avocado. The selected pesticides, ametryn, atrazine, carbaryl, carbofuran, and methyl parathion, represent the most commonly used classes (carbamates, organophosphorous, and triazines).

  10. Removal of six pesticide residues in cowpea with alkaline electrolysed water

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      BACKGROUND

      Reduction of six pesticide residues (isoprocarb, chlorpyrifos, bifenthrin, beta-cypermethrin, difenoconazole and azoxystrobin) in cowpea by alkaline electrolysed water (AIEW) solutions with different pH was investigated. The commonly used washing treatments in household processing were used for comparison.

  21. Food Safety in Thailand 3: Pesticide Residues detected in Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), Queen of Fruits

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      Background

      For developing countries like Thailand, regulation of pesticide usage exists but is not fully enforced. Therefore, pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits have not been well monitored. This study aimed to determine the pesticide residues in mangosteen fruits sold in Thailand. The mangosteen samples (n = 111) were purchased and the content of 28 pesticides were analyzed by GC-MS/MS method.
