Analytical methods for pesticide residues in rice

Food Analysis: Present, Future, and Foodomics

“…One of the main topics is the case of contaminants in foods whose analysis is a must for ensuring human exposure to noxious residues though diet does not exceed acceptable levels for health. As mentioned above, the everyday more exigent demands on food safety are bringing about a tremendous development in analytical instruments and methodologies to analyze foodborne pathogens [77] and contaminants [78][79][80], or the effect of food processing on pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables [81]. Good examples of the tremendous work devoted to these issues are the analysis of mycotoxins in foods [82,83], the analysis of other toxin-like compounds as, for instance, sterigmatocystin, a toxic metabolite closely related to aflatoxins, and produced by the fungi Aspergillus nidulans and A. versicolor that has been found in different foods [84].…”

Organophosphorus Pesticides Analysis

“…Some recent publications provide an overview of the promising techniques: solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, stir-bar sorptive extraction, matrix solid-phase dispersion, solvent extraction, liquid-phase microextraction, super critical fluid extraction, ultrasonication extraction, microwaveaccelerated extraction, and membrane-assisted methods, applied to various matrices (Beyer & Biziuk, 2008;Gilbert-López et al, 2009;Hyötyläinen & Riekkola, 2008;Picó et al, 2007;Pinto et al, 2010;Rial-Otero et al, 2007). The tendencies in the application of gas chromatography and liquid chromatography to pesticides residues determination in environmental samples and food, together with sample preparation procedures are revised by several authors (Le Doux, 2011;Pareja et al, 2010;Sharma et al, 2010;Yusà et al, 2009). The trends in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry development are highlighted in the published in 2007reviews (Kuster et al, 2009Malik et al, 2010;Petrovic et al, 2010;Soler & Picó, 2007).…”

Present and Future Challenges in Food Analysis: Foodomics

“…Consequently, robust analytical methods are continuously under development in order to improve recovery rates, quantification limits, time of analysis, or to reduce matrix effects. 13 Interestingly, nowadays, method validation is also required for carrying out both research and monitoring programs, and thus for defining limitations and supporting enforcement of regulations. food analysis.…”
