Organochlorine pesticide residues in sheep and buffalo meat products in Punjab
Page No. : 29-31
ABSTRACT
In the present study, commonly available seven different kinds of buffalo and sheep meat products were analyzed for organochlorine pesticide residues. DDT and endosulphan residues were found in all kinds of products, whereas HCH were only encountered in samples of sheep meatballs. Highest level of DDT was found in mutton kababs (0.186 mg kg-1), followed by buffalo patties (0.179 mg kg-1). Similarly, highest amount of endosulphan was found in sheep patties (1.022 mgkg-1).Keywords: Gas chromatography, OCP, meat products, Punjab
