Determination of Different Classes of Pesticide Residues in Processed Fruits and Vegetables by LC-MS Using the TSQ Quantum Ultra According to EU Directive 91/414 EEC
Description
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is thought to reduce the risk of some types of cancer, circulatory, and heart disease. Commercially grown produce can contain high levels of pesticide residues that can lead to serious health problems when consumed. Due to growing public concern over the amount of pesticide residues in foods, the EU has enacted several directives including new 'active' ingredients entering the market to replace compounds banned by Directive 91/414/ EEC. We describe an LC-ESI-MS/MS method for the detection and quantification of 45 pesticides in various food matrices.| Market: | Food and Beverage |
