Standardization of an analytical technique for determination of pesticide residues in fresh and processed button mushroom Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach.

An efficient modified QuEChERS procedure was established for the simultaneous determination of 37 pesticide residues in fresh and processed edible button mushroom by employing GC/ GC-MS and LC-MS/MS. The effectiveness, reliability and accuracy of the method were assessed through validation parameters such as linearity, LOD, LOQ, precision, accuracy, uncertainty, and matrix effect. The linearity calibration for all the selected pesticides at standard concentrations (0.

Dissipation kinetics, decontamination, consumer risk assessment and monitoring of flonicamid and imidacloprid residues in capsicum under open field and polyhouse condition.

Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based detection of flonicamid, imidacloprid and 6-chloronicotinic acid residues was validated and analysed in capsicum fruit, processed products and soil. The standard concentrations (0.0025 to 0.

Analysis of cyantraniliprole residues in beetroot and beet top using LC-MS/MS, dietary exposure assessment, and evaluation of decontamination techniques.

A modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method was standardized for the analysis of cyantraniliprole residues in beetroot and beet top (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris L.) using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.

Effect of decontamination and processing on insecticide residues in grape (Muscat Hamburg).

Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effect of simple decontamination methods and processing on imidacloprid, dimethoate, and emamectin benzoate residues in grapes and their processed products by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Among the decontamination methods evaluated, washing with NaCl (2%) solution was effective for reducing imidacloprid (77.55%), dimethoate (83.

Early flowering, good grain quality mutants through gamma rays and EMS for enhancing per day productivity in rice ( L.).

Purpose: Rice is the prominent crop of world and it frames the important component of food chain. But, long duration of highly preferred rice varieties requires more water and are prone to biotic and abiotic stresses. Short duration rice varieties serve as a promising alternative in such cases.
