The use of organic pesticides* on fruit and vegetable crops is widespread. Residues of the pesticides are frequently present when the fruits and vegetables are marketed as foods. Since many pesticides are toxic to humans, it is necessary to have methods for the detection and measurement of pesticide residues on foods. Analytical procedures for the determination of pesticide residues ordinarily involve the following steps: (a) extraction of the pesticide with a suitable solvent; (b) purification of the extract; and (c) the performance of qualitative and quantitative analyses for the pesticides.
