Abstract

Pesticides are auxiliary input to induce the quality and production of food. It is also considerate to minimize the postharvest losses of crops and to fulfill the increasing demand. Although pesticides are useful in food production, their versatile use had resulted in the occurrence of contamination and residues in all necessities of our life, i.e., food, water, and air. Nowadays, consumer perception about food safety and quality leads to transparency and traceability in various agricultural practices. The pesticide had a diverse meaning, it encompasses many hundreds of toxic chemicals, exhibiting enormously diverse chemical and physical properties. Thus to determine the level of pesticide residue in different commodities, a simple, effective and robust sample preparation and analytical determination technique is required. Further, technique includes both identification and quantification of analytes in food commodities, which strictly fulfill the international regulation on maximum residue limits. This chapter briefly discusses the modern analytical approaches, including different sample preparation technique followed by chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques.
