The ill effects of green revolution include residues of extensively used chemical pesticides in various environmental components. The present study was designed to analyze the levels of organochlorine pesticide residues along with chemical composition in buffalo milk samples collected from different localities of Delhi. Milk monitoring can yield information about the kinds and quantities of pes...

BACKGROUND In many parts of the world, deliberate indoor residual spraying (IRS) of dwellings with insecticides to control malaria transmission remains the only viable option, thereby unintentionally but inevitably also causing exposure to inhabitants. Because mothers are exposed to insecticides via various routes, accumulated residues are transferred to infants via breast milk, in some cases e...

This study was conducted to determine the types and levels of Organochlorine pesticide residues in the breast milk of 21 primiparae mothers in La, a suburb of Accra an urban community in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. Liquid-liquid extraction procedure was employed and extract clean-up was done using silica gel solid phase extraction. Fourteen (14) different organochlorine pesticides residu...

This study investigated the levels of the antibiotic tetracycline contained in cow milk, goat milk, butterfat, soft cheese and yoghurt samples. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) standard methods were used for the detection and quantification of tetracycline in 40 dairy products samples. All the analysed samples contained residues of tetracycline antibiotics. The mean tetracycline re...

Milk protein is beneficial for the health of infants and mainly derived from bovine, sheep, goat or camel milk. High Fischer ratio peptides usually comprise two to nine amino acid residues. The computed as a molar between branched-chain acids (BCAAs) over aromatic (AAAs) with various claimed health-promoting functions. In this Lilliput review, classification nutritional functions milk proteins ...

Bolivia does not have a surveillance program for pesticide residues in food. The few published studies have suggested that pesticide contamination in food may present a public health problem. Data are lacking for all foods except tomatoes and breast milk. In this study 10 potato, 10 onion, and 10 lettuce samples from La Paz were sampled on August 15, 2015 at a local market and screened for 283 ...
