Detection of some insecticide residues in milk and influence of heat treatments and bacterial fermentation against these insecticides [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Sixty buffalo's raw milk samples were analyzed for detection of insecticides residues in Port Said governorate. The analysis revealed that presence of organochlorine compounds (DDT, DDE, DDD, Lindan and Dieldrin in 46.67%, 48.33%, 38.33%, 45% and 30% of samples respectively. while organophosphorous compounds could be detected in 21.66%, JJ.66%and 8.33% for Diazinon, Malathione and Dursban respectively. None of the milk samples exceeded the permissible limit. Heat treatment and Bacterial fermentation for some positive samples revealed reduction in residual percent (DDT, DDE, Diazinon, Malathion and Dursban) .In contrast, residues of DDD were showed slightly increased by heat treatment, while Lindan and Dieldrin were relatively constant by heat treatment and Bacterial fermentation. The public health importance of insecticide residues in milk and the recommendation for eliminating the milk contamination and safeguard the consumers against the serious effect of these pollutants were discussed.
