Residue Testing Methods

Residue testing methods are techniques used to detect and measure traces of substances, like pesticides or contaminants, on or in agricultural products. These methods include chemical tests, such as chromatography or mass spectrometry, which separate and identify specific residues with high accuracy. They help ensure food safety and compliance with regulations by confirming that residue levels are within acceptable limits. The process involves collecting samples, preparing them for analysis, and interpreting the results to determine if residues pose any health risks or violate legal standards.
