Liposomes are structural entities composed of a lipid bilayer surrounding an aqueous solution. Their distinctive characteristics have led to numerous applications in diverse scientific and technological domains. In the realm of agricultural chemicals, liposomes can be utilized to augment the effectiveness of pesticides and facilitate the delivery of essential nutrients. Several studies have shown ...
Food is essential to our daily life. Both producers and consumers want food to be safe. However, in order to improve food production, pesticide/herbicide is widely used in agriculture. Over-use of pesticides can lead to hazardous chemicals entering the food chain. Therefore, much concerns have been raised about the risks of pesticide residues in food, because most pesticides show a high degree of ...
In the process of planting crops, human beings usually suffer from insect pests, which seriously affect the yield and quality of food. In order to prevent and control pests, people have to use pesticides to escort crop planting and production. Organophosphorus is a common pesticide, and improper protection can lead to farmers' organophosphorus poisoning. In order to remove pesticide residues, ...
By 2050, there will be 10 billion people on the planet, the majority of whom in cities. Gertjan and Lianne Meeuws behind Eindhoven firm, Seven Steps To Heaven, believe indoor farming is the future. “Our traditional food system is incapable of feeding everyone responsibly.” All of Eindhoven can identify Gertjan and Lianne Meeuws’ business from afar, thanks to its distinctive ...

Our comprehensive solutions offer food and beverage laboratories the tools needed to check compliance with food and environmental regulations, decrease ...
The use of pesticides in foods is a concern - especially as some of these substances build up in food and pass into the human body. A pesticide is a substance used in agriculture mainly for repelling, eliminating, reducing, etc insects or microorganisms that might harm the crops. There are numerous scientific studies that demonstrate the problems that these substances can cause within the body - ...
On Thursday, April 30, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued interim guidance that it intends to clarify its toxicology data requirements for antimicrobial pesticides used on food contact surfaces. In addition, EPA issued a letter to antimicrobial registrants that EPA states is intended “to summarize how the Agency has been implementing 158W with respect to existing ...
In this issue of Hot Source, food supply, security and sustainability comes to the fore with the publication of new principles for Responsible Investment Agriculture and Food Systems, by the Committee on World Food Safety (CFS) under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN (FAO).

Contamination of food products with pesticides is a growing concern because of recognized adverse health effects, increasing world-wide usage of pesticides, and increasing imports of raw foodstuffs from foreign sources. The concern is particularly acute for baby foods because of the high vulnerability of babies to health effects from synthetic chemicals such as pesticides. Gas chromatography ...
Introduction Pesticide residue laboratories are required to undertake analyses of an ever increasing number of samples. The analyses typically involve use of multi-residue methods (both GC-MS and LC-MS) to test for over 500 pesticide residues. Due to its ease of use and proven robustness, the QuEChERS extraction has become the method of choice for pesticides multi-residue analyses in a wide range ...
Abstract The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities. Since development, QuEChERS has been applied for the extraction of many different classes of pesticides, with one exception, very polar non-QuEChERS-amenable ...
DDT, Endosulfan, Cypermethrin and Permethrin were the major detected pesticides. All the pesticides analyzed were detected in red pepper and green coffee bean. Residues of DDT in coffee pulp significantly differed (p value <0.01) from other food items except for red pepper. The concentration of pesticides in the ...
Aquatic ecosystems are characterized by fluctuating conditions that have direct effects on aquatic communities, but also indirect influences such as changing the toxicity of chemicals. Since the effect of food quality on pesticide toxicity has rarely been studied, in the current experiment Daphnia magna juveniles supplied with four different ...

Although bats are reported as being threatened by pesticides, they are currently not considered in European Union pesticide risk assessments. The reason for that contradiction is probably related to the scarcity of information on bat activity in pesticide‐treated fields and the pesticide residues on their food items. The authors recorded bat activity and measured pesticide residues on ...
Cleanup of matrices is the first, the most important, and the most critical step for both broad-spectrum screening and accurate determination of pesticides and their metabolites in vegetables,meats, drinks and fruits. In most cases, solid phase extraction (SPE) methods are used to clean up the extracts before the GC-MS analysis. The ideal SPE material(s) should remove the greatest number of food ...
An important question to ask yourself at this point is, "does the party food need to have travelled further than most of the guests?". In some parts of the world, nearly half of all food is imported from abroad and over half of the organic food for sale is imported. ...

Carbamate pesticides are widely used around the world to protect crops. In addition, they are used as biocides for industrial or other applications and in household products. Though carbamates are biodegradable compounds and bioaccumulation usually happens only to a low extend it is important to monitor produce to make sure enough time has elapsed between harvest and applying pesticides. Also, ...
1998, a total of 1237 samples of different food commodities were analysed for residues of organophosphorus pesticides in Slovenia. The domestic and imported commodities tested included fruits, vegetables, cereals, alcoholic drinks and food of animal origin such as liver, fish, eggs, milk and honey. Residues of organophosphates ...
Pathogenic microorganisms affecting plant health are a major and chronic threat to food production and ecosystem stability worldwide. As agricultural production intensified over the past few decades, producers became more and more dependent on agrochemicals as a relatively reliable method of crop protection helping with economic stability of their operations. ...
