Analysis of pesticide residues in the vegetables by using gas chromatography - electron capture detector

Over the last few decades, the Malaysian agriculture industry has contributed to the growth and major contributors to national income and export earnings. It is become basis of economic growth and main contributor in national economy prior to the 1970s. However, in order to increase the food product...

It is become basis of economic growth and main contributor in national economy prior to the 1970s. However, in order to increase the food production such as vegetables and fruits, pesticides is widely used in agriculture industry to prevent, destroying or mitigating any pest that can cause harm to plant. Unfortunately, the pesticide residue level in vegetables is dangerous and can cause harm to human health if excessive consumption of pesticides in vegetables is highly taken.

Thus, the objective of this thesis are to determine and compare the concentration of pesticide residue level in selected vegetables after being washed by using distilled water and vegetables detergent and to determine the food safety of these commodities by comparing the pesticides concentration result with Malaysian Maximum Residue Limits standard that has been listed out by Ministry of Health under Food Regulation 1985.

It proved that vegetable detergent is an effective way to remove or kill the pesticide residue that left in these vegetable. Result from this study then is compare with Maximum Residue Limits to determine the level of food safety of this type of commodities and from the comparison, concentration of pesticides residue in vegetable could not be consider a serious public health problem.
