Analysis of Glyphosate residues in our daily Products
(PresseBox) - Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide used since 1974 in numerous countries worldwide. Lately, there is an emotional discussion in the media and consequently the number of reports on residues of glyphosate in food have increased substantially.
Due to the high polarity of glyphosate it is not possible to analyze it together with the other pesticides in the standard screening method (which is able to detect more than 600 pesticides). Owing to the need of using a single residue method, the existing information about glyphosate in food is limited.
The situation in North America can be demonstrated by looking at a natural cross-section product: honey. According to Tentamus studies in 2018 ? more than 250 US honey samples were analyzed, 65% of which contained glyphosate levels above the limit of quantification of 10
