Reduction of Pesticide Residues in Egyptian Buffalo Milk by Some Processing Treatments

Fawzia H.R. Abd-Rabo, Hany Elsalamony and Sally S. Sakr

This study was designed to evaluate the pesticide residues in Egypt. Buffalo milk was collected from Sharkia, Dakhlia and Giza provinces. The effect of pasteurization, sterilization, fermentation and coagulation on some organophosphorus (dimethoate and malathion) pesticides spiked in buffalo milk was studied. The obtained results showed that the sampling time and method of analysis may be behind the remarkable effect on dimethoate and malathion content of milk samples. All treatments had significant effects on the reduction of pesticides level. The pesticides degradation percentage was improved by fermentation. Pasteurization however removed malathion completely and reduced dimethoate level to a great extent.
