Abstract

Globally, there is a growing concern of the improper use of peptides in the agricultural sector. The probable detrimental effects of pesticides to human health and environment are the key reasons of this concern. In this book, the sources of pesticide residues in foods, analytical techniques for the qualitative and quantitative detection of pesticides in foods, relevant health and environmental concerns, degradation of pesticides after their use, and available laws and regulations to regulate pesticide use are discussed. In addition, different pesticide management techniques, such as: reduction of pesticide residues in grains and foods, alternatives to conventional pesticides, and prospects of organic farming are also covered.
