The concentrations of heavy metals of Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn were determined in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. butrytis L.), carrot root (Daucus carota L.), tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculenta Mill.), onion bulb (Allium cepa L.) and leafy cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capital capitata L.), and the respective soils from Morogoro region, Tanzania. The accumulated heavy metals were quant...

BACKGROUND A wide range of pesticides is applied for crop protection in vegetable cultivation in China. Regulation of pesticide maximum residue limits (MRLs) in vegetables is established but not fully enforced. And pesticide residues in vegetables were not well monitored. This study conducted the monitoring surveys from 2011 to 2013 to investigate the pesticides in vegetables in the northwest r...

The expediency of using freshwater fish and aromatic root vegetables in the technology preserves has been substantiated. Based on organoleptic analysis, compatibility as part determined. conditions for pretreatment salted semi-finished products to ensure their maturation have theoretically substantiated experimentally It found that flesh with 1.0% 1.5% malic acid 60 minutes provides soft, tende...

The degree of pollution and potential ecological risk heavy metals (HMs) in the soil plastic-covered sheds Jiangxi Province were evaluated by Nemerow index index. bioconcentration factor total target hazard quotient (TTHQ) used to evaluate enrichment ability health HMs vegetables. mean contents arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg) lead (Pb) 5.99, 0.373, 17.8, 5.94E-02, 28.9 m...

This study presents unique data on concentrations of antiretroviral drugs, (abacavir, nevirapine, and efavirenz) in the root, leaf, fruit vegetables. The microwave-assisted extraction, solid-phase liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection were applied to assess drugs vegetable samples. analytical method showed high precision linearity (R2) greater than 0.99, acceptable, accu...
