Method validation and measurement uncertainty estimation of pesticide residues in Okra by GC/HPLC.

ABSTRACT: Reliability and accuracy of an analytical method is ensured by method validation technique. The present study was aimed to optimize and validate a rapid, reliable and accurate method for quantitatively determining pesticide residues of a diverse group in okra matrix. All method performance characteristics pertaining to method validation was tested. Three different pesticides viz. Thiamethoxam, Ethion, and lambda Cyhalothrin of diverse chemical classes which are applied on okra cultivation and have high MRLs as per FSSAI, were selected. Okra available in local market is often laced with these pesticides. The higher concentrations of pesticide residues in okra can be severely toxic to consumers. Thus validation of method that is simple and cost effective and can give accurate results is desi
