Has anyone tested pesticide residues in home-made fruit and vegetable juices using a masticator juicer?
Assaying pesticides is expensive and there is not a test for pesticides as a group because their chemistry differs. Federal agencies sample some imported fruits and vegetables and these data are available in public databases. Washing fruits and vegetable thoroughly will remove almost all residues. Since pesticides are applied in water-based solutions, repeated rinsing should be adequate to remove residues. Fruits like citrus are probably better if peeled.
Is there no residual inside the fruits? So do the authorities just check the skin? What about systemics?
Dear Susan Kirk
In some cases, can be observed pesticides in fruit, but in most cases of pesticide residues that can't be tasted them
