Pesticide Residues in Honey Pesticide Residues detection in Bee honey
Journal Title: ACTA Apicola Brasilica - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
A. mellifera bees are one of the most important pollinators of crops in addition they produce honey, propolis, royal jelly and wax. Honey, the main product of beekeeping, used as food, sweetener and in therapy (apitherapy), has the image of being natural, healthy and clean making a highly valued product in the foreign market so the search for rigorous standards of quality is needed to meet a consumer market increasingly demanding. Thus the identification of floral and geographical origin, the occurrence of tampering and contamination, especially with antibiotics and pesticides in honey has become an important route because which can cause health problems to consumers. The dispersion of the solid phase matrix (PDDM) combined with modern chromatographic techniques as gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an alternative to avoid the various drawbacks found in classical extraction methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate the different types of analyzes and pesticide residue detection methodologies in honey Introducing different methodologies for carrying out studies for validation of a method in analytical methods, using the matrix dispersion techniques in solid phase, gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detector with diode array.
