Abstract EN

Organochlorine insecticides residues (α–HCH, β-HCH, Lindane, HCB, Aldrin, Heptachlor, Chlordane, total DDT, Endrin and Methoxychlor) were analyzed in 75 samples of raw milk, sour cream and cooking butter-collected from Beni-Suef Governorate- using gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD).

The results indicated that all the examined samples were accepted except three butter samples showed residue levels exceeded the Maximum Residues Levels (MRLs).
