ROLE OF PESTICIDE ANALYSIS IN ESSENTIAL OILS
Pesticides consumption in Indian agriculture lands according to gov survey reports is over 210600 metric tonnes
these pesticides becomes an integral part of crops and food products which we consume directly or indirectly in our food,perfumery compounds or any flavoury products.
According to WHO ,these pesticide have serious consequence in human health ,so its limitation in agricultural products had determined by WHO OR LOCAL FEDREL AGENCIES OR GOVERNMENTS.
But most serious problem is in Country like India whose economy third largest in world is that ,there is not any agency who is actively looking in this regards ,so the most of products i,e is consumed and exported from India ,China like country is highly adulterated with pesticide.
But now most of Indian company which are dealing directly or indirectly looking forward for determination of pesticides and insecticide like mention below
| . No. | Pesticide (Technical Grade) | Quantity consumed (metric tonnes) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sulphur (fungicide) | 16424 |
| 2 | Endosulfan (insecticide) | 15537 |
| 3 | Mancozeb (fungicide) | 11067 |
| 4 | Phorate (insecticide) | 10763 |
| 5 | Methyl Parathion (insecticide) | 08408 |
| 6 | Monocrotophos (insecticide) | 08209 |
| 7 | Cypermethrin (insecticide) | 07309 |
| 8 | Isoproturon (herbicide) | 07163 |
| 9 | Chlorpyrifos (insecticide) | 07163 |
| 10 | Malathion (insecticide) | 07103 |
| 11 | Carbendazim (fungicide) | 06767 |
| 12 | Butachlor (herbicide) | 06750 |
| 13 | Quinalphos (insecticide) | 06329 |
| 14 | Copper oxychloride | 06055 |
| 15 | Dichlorvos (insecticide) | 05833 |
The problem is how to determine pesticide in our food .
There is various technique are using world wide for determination of pesticide ,the most important one is GCMS/MS AND LCMS/MS technique .
But because of its cost 90% of companies in India are not take this seriously and serving humanity with these pesticides..
I can tell how we can use this technique to determine pesticide in food and animal products next time..till any one wants to share something regarding this will provide your valuable comments ,you are most welcome....
