What is BS EN 15637-Determination of pesticide residues in food of plant origin about?
BS EN 15637 is a European standard on foods of plant origin that discusses the determination of pesticide residues in food of plant origin to ensure food of plant origin is safe for consumption.
BS EN 15637 describes a method for the analysis of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin, such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts as well as processed products including dried fruits.
The method under BS EN 15637 has been collaboratively studied on many commodity/pesticide combinations.
Who is BS EN 15637-Determination of pesticide residues in food of plant origin for?
BS EN 15637 on the determination of pesticide residues using LC-MS/MS following methanol extraction and clean-up using diatomaceous earth origin is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 15637-Determination of pesticide residues in food of plant origin?
Exposure of the general population to these residues most commonly occurs through consumption of treated food sources or being in close contact with areas treated with pesticides such as farms or lawns.
BS EN 15637 provides you with guidance on apparatus, procedure, evaluation of results, confirmatory tests, LC-MS/MS analysis, precision, test report, etc.
The methods and test procedures provided by BS EN 15637 assist you in the determination of pesticide residues in food of plant origin, improving the quality and subsistence of food of plant origin and ensuring a reduction in the risk to human health due to consumption of pesticide residues in food.
