There are a host of Chemicals and Pesticides sprayed on Fruits and Vegetables. After washing with different formulations, I want to detect the percentage of Pesticides, that I am able to remove.
Do you want to detect the residues left on the fruit and veg, or the residues in the wash water?
Either way you will want to take multiple replications (at least 3, preferably 5 per treatment. You will need to include about 250g of produce per sample, both before and after washing.
Make sure you send the samples to a reputable lab and send for a multi-residue test (GC/LC/Dithiocarbamates).
