Test Description

Green Tea has well publicised health benefits to consumers, and as such continues to grow its already considerable consumption globally. This success can put a great deal of pressure on the already stretched supply chains.

Pesticides can offer quick wins from which to maintain enough supply to satisfy demand, especially in the short term. Yet if poor farming practices are continually used, both product quality and consumers suffer. High pesticide residue levels can translocate via manufacturers to consumers. It is important to highlight these events quickly and concisely, as such effective testing practices must be utilised to effectively analyse green tea samples to highlight pesticide residue levels over normal levels.

This blank material is ideal to ensure effective calibration curves are created. This can ensure only high quality test results are found. Blank materials from Fapas are ideal for ensuring matrix matching takes place. By using blank materials as close to positive test samples as possible the matrix effect is dramatically reduced.

Blank materials from Fapas make use of real food matrices to provide the key insights into your routine testing abilities you require. These can be used to maintain the level of accuracy required to satisfy both your customers and regulators of your testing capabilities.

Most countries now have an extensive monitoring scheme for pesticide residues written into their legislation. There are more than 1000 compounds used worldwide as pesticides or plant protection products. When used properly, according to good agricultural practice, any residues can be expected to be below maximum residue limits. The Fapas pesticide residues proficiency tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated MRLs but are widely applicable to most geographic areas. We also base our statistical data analysis in keeping with quality assurance guidelines as laid out in EC SANTE/11945/2015.

The adjoining proficiency test has a targetted list of pesticide residues, based on real positives found in monitored samples.
