Pesticide Fate in Wheat Beer Brewing: Impact of Multi-Stage Processing on Pesticide Behavior and Physicochemical Properties

Pesticide Fate in Wheat Beer Brewing: Impact of Multi-Stage Processing on Pesticide Behavior and Physicochemical Properties

ByUCT

Barley and wheat, staple grains for brewing beer, are often exposed to pesticides during their cultivation, raising concerns about pesticide contamination in beer. The 2022 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) report highlights the presence of various pesticides in European wheat, which could potentially carry over into processed products like beer. Although testing for pesticide residues…

Fungicides Affect Leafy Vegetable Biochemistry

ByUCT

Researchers at the Institute of Plant Protection-National Research Institute and the Academy of Agrobusiness in Poland determined individual fungicides, Fluazinam, Dithianon, and Dodine, and mixtures of the three fungicides cause diverse effects in leafy vegetables. When researchers mixed the herbicides, they discovered that Fluazinam had a longer dissipation time and Dithianon and Dodine degraded faster….

Biochemical Chemical Compounds and Stress Markers in Lettuce upon Exposure to Pathogenic Botrytis cinerea and Fungicides Inhibiting Oxidative Phosphorylation

ByUCT

Chemical protection of plants is necessary to maximize crop yields.  Consequently, using pesticides can disrupt the concentrations of biochemical compounds in plants and reduce the availability of essential plant nutrients available to the human diet. Researchers at the Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute in Poland have recently published a paper showing how…
