The aim of our study was to investigate the amount of 110 pesticide residues in cereals and foodstuff from Poland as a part of official control. A total of 89 samples were collected in 2009-10. In 84.2% of the samples no residues were found: 15.8% of samples contained pesticide residues below the maximum residue limit. Pirimiphos-methyl was the most frequently found pesticide. The results show ...

Abstract As a widely consumed foodstuff, milk and dairy products are increasingly studied over the years. At present time, profiling is used as benchmark to assess properties of milk. Modern biomolecular mass spectrometers have become invaluable fully characterize composition. This review reports analysis its components using liquid chromatography coupled with spectrometry (LC–MS). LC–MS whole ...

Abstract Intensive agriculture has led to several environmental impacts, such as soil erosion, water scarcity, and pesticide pollution. Despite the increasing research advocating greener agriculture, transition into sustainable practices been slower than expected. Then, why are we stuck in this transition? In scientific essay, aimed answer question not only by analyzing agricultural systems but...

The search for natural, functional, and healthy products based on local knowledge continues, such as sacha inchi (SI) or Plukenetia volubilis L. (Euphorbiaceae). This plant has long been used by the Icha tribe in Peru because it a high protein vegetable oil content. study aims to explain potential use of SI food ingredient traditional medicine. method is library research using data obtained onl...

We present a compact portable chip-based capillary electrophoresis system that employs capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CD) operating at 4 MHz as an alternative detection method compared to the commonly used optical detection employing laser-induced fluorescence. The disposable chip for this system is fabricated out of PMMA using injection molding; the electrodes are scr...

Parvalbumins beta (β-PRVBs) are considered the major fish allergens. A new strategy for the rapid and direct detection of these allergens in any foodstuff is presented in this work. The proposed methodology is based on the purification of β-PRVBs by treatment with heat, the use of accelerated in-solution trypsin digestion under an ultrasonic field provided by High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (...
