Određivanje ostataka pesticida u brašnu

The use of pesticides dates back to ancient times when various simple inorganic compounds, compounds contained in plants and prepared herbal preparations were used for the purpose of protecting crops from pests. The reversal occurs with the discovery of the insecticidal action of dichlorodinitrophenyltrichloroethane (DDT). The application of pesticides leads to the resistance of pests to these individual pesticides, which leads to increased production of new ones. Due to their wide application and their negative effects (toxicity, water and environmental pollution) strict laws have been passed and detailed research of pesticide residues in food is being carried out. The paper describes the division of pesticides and their main representatives with emphasis on insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and rodenticides as well as methods of their determination in flour.
